Experimental Electronic Music
Descending before it ascends, The Loneliness of the Hollow Earth Explorer, Vol. II finds Arrowounds guiding the listener through ancestral caves and bioluminescent mines, a solitary, ritualistic journey where subterranean sound becomes a passage through hidden worlds, ancient time, and the haunted inner depths.
Unfolding like a recovered archive of forgotten futures, HYPERSCANNING channels radiant ambient shimmer and IDM introspection into fifteen seamlessly interlinked pieces where Uf0 fuses celestial atmosphere, fractured melody, and breakbeat-flecked nostalgia into a quietly potent, ever-drifting whole.
In a world overflowing with unheard music, Torre di Fine’s EP2 cuts through the noise with a raw, heart-forward surge of distortion, emotion, and shimmering post-rock energy that reminds us why human-made sound still matters.
Shoegaze has always been a genre shaped as much by distortion as by definition. Coined—and complicated—by the British music press, the term has been embraced, rejected, and debated by the very bands it aimed to describe. In Shoegaze, music writer Ryan Pinkard explores this hazy history with clarity and curiosity, tracing the genre’s roots through its sounds, scenes, and stories. As a longtime fan, I found his account both illuminating and rewarding—a vital look at a style often heard but rarely explained.
As Drownded flows, it wavers between freeform exploration and meditative stillness, riding an arc that’s as hypnotic as it is grounded.
Arrowounds delivers the music, magic and mystery, solidifying the esoteric energies emanated from the underworld into the medium of this album. It’s a perfect soundtrack for getting lost in the labyrinthine depths waiting to be discovered beneath the surface of everyday Ohio and Kentucky.
nine is best experienced in full—an immersive journey that never feels confined by its sonic architecture, instead showcasing a collective of artists fully in tune with subtlety, mood, and musical balance.
Industrial sediment spreads across six distinct pieces by Ukrainian composer and sound sculptor (Kateryna) Zavoloka.
Once Was Ours Forever is an album that asks for nothing but offers so much. It’s a buen retiro built from the light of things once held. Nash doesn’t aim for effect, he moves toward the truth of small gestures.
Across five original tracks and six transformative remixes, Fedoseev’s deep-rooted love for live performance radiates. Here, performance becomes communion—an unspoken language etched in shimmering soundscapes.
The second coming of Vague Lanes (aka Mike Cadoo and Badger McInnes) comes as a moody, dark, and also insanely catchy collection of darkwave tunes. The group nails the one thing I always appreciate when listening to music: the foundations. If your grooves aren’t solid, there’s a good chance the music is going to fall flat.
