The combination of noise bursts, crackles akin to a detuned radio, a return to field recordings, reverberant knob-twiddling, and terrifying noise washes, creates a powerful soundtrack that evokes a theme of nature versus industry.

Richard Chartier :: On Leaving (Touch)
On Leaving contains a set of vintage variances, soothing drone tracks that are in ways abstract yet deceptively organic in nature. Minimal composition together with low pitches and recursive sets of sound contribute to this soothing effect.
A_A :: Diskordant (Artificial Owl Recordings)
Diskordant is a live, improvisational minimal extrusion from below the surface that ebbs and flows with a sense of aural wonder—its thick textures and tones are the core elements.
Brandon Invergo :: Bringing On the Eschaton (Moon Atlas)
This combination of hammering pulses, screeching feedback and tight grooves creates a captivating sound that doesn’t work solely because of its intensity, but also because Brandon Invergo shakes things up effectively throughout this release.
Seth Nehil/Bruno Duplant :: (else)where (aufabwegen)
The fifteen vignettes that these pieces offer are rather similar in atmosphere throughout disc 1, but a significant shift happens once you reach the unnerving nature of the second disc; though the first isn’t easy either, it does leave a lot more room for relaxing and somewhat reassuring natural sounds…
Plaster :: Macte Animo! EP — Obscura B-Sides (Textvra)
Macte Animo! is an industrial synth buffet of audio bliss featuring two tracks that did not find their way onto the Obscura album from 2023.
Humanfobia :: RINGU リング (2024) (Let’s Talk Figures)
Humanfobia has brought a path of death and destruction across the planet. This latest offering is a master work of horror and anguish that surely few can survive. The sound is not complicated, bass and keys with strange tones, groaning guttural unearthly sounds and sexy whispers from a ghost who follows me into my dreams.
Putting the Khemia in Alchemeia :: Magic Carpathians Project & Scanner
The Magic Carpathians Project have released a number of enchanting albums and recordings since 1998, but Khemia, from 2019, is perhaps their most transformative. It pairs well when listened to back-to-back with the new 2024 release Alchemeia from the ever prolific Scanner.
Malarki :: Asunder (Errorgrid)
Malarki’s full length album for Errorgrid titled Asunder is full of bursting and brittle electrical fields, delivering an impacting sonic punch of soundtrack behemoths and shuffling industrial textures.
Myoptik :: Gofunga! (Mighty Force)
With a plethora of electronic distortion and semi-coherent sound structures carefully collapsing, Myoptik doesn’t hold back on Gofunga!
Chad Mossholder :: Haptic Clouds (Schematic)
Designed to be listened to on headphones, Chad Mossholder finds more ominous micro-glitch nuances hidden behind these eight sonic peripherals.
