Igloo Magazine :: Best of 2024
Highlighting hundreds of releases in 2024 (and allowing December to set in), we’ve compiled a list of our favorites along with links to their corresponding Igloo reviews and release pages. Since the lists are arranged alphabetically by artist—and a snapshot of tracks are featured in our Soundcloud playlist along with selected Bandcamp tracks and random artwork selections—there are, as usual, no winners or runners-up.
James Murray :: Weeds (quiet details)
Welcomed by the superb quiet details label—responsible for classics in sculpted minimalist and lush dronescapes—Weeds is an other captivating, perfectly executed, and subtly moving, serene, granular sound experience for day-dreaming and serious meditative inner levitations affected by lonesome souls.
Maps and Diagrams :: if all will be lost (quiet details)
All in all, this personal take on the quiet details concept exhibits a deftly turned lower-case sound design prowess that bespeaks years of audio craftsmanship, constituting a compelling entry to a growing catalog.

‘t Geruis :: Terre, Poussière (Quiet Details)
Behind ’t Gerius is Belgian sound-wrangler, Daniel, who’s hit on a hermetic audioworld at once delicate and distorted, refined and uncouth; sound seen as if through a glass blurrily, yet sharply—alive with microsound like a fungi forest close-up.
Arovane :: Polymer (Quiet Details)
