Somaticae :: ENIAC EP (Evel) — [concise]
Evel remains unwavering in their pursuit of fringe electronics and mangled sonic artifacts, sustaining the IDM undercurrent with an ear for the abstract and the arcane.

From the hazy pulse of “Lo” to the ethereal drift of “What Angels,” the EP moves fluidly between abrasion and serenity, leaving a lasting, otherworldly impression.
Deru :: rhythm tapes (Pushing Air Productions)
After years exploring ambient stillness and shadowy textures, Deru—aka Benjamin Wynn—returns with rhythm tapes, a raw, genre-blurring mixtape of ten glitchy, percussive tracks.

Sundetone :: Aa (Tokinogake) — [concise]
This uneasy passage through shadow takes gentle hold, offering no easy reassurance. Soft bells, stretched synths, and sandblasted glitch flicker in and out—never quite defined, but carrying a fragile pulse that holds fleeting moments together.
