Seabuckthorn :: A Path Within A Path (Laaps)
Seabuckthorn, the project of guitarist and sound artist Andy Cartwright, crafts an evocative blend of ambient, electro-acoustic, and semi-classical textures on A Path Within A Path, released by Laaps. The album unfolds like an avant-garde chamber work, rich with spiritual depth, intricate guitar work, and collaborations that expand its introspective, transportive soundscape.
Ian Nyquist :: Gilded (Flood)
Dublin-based sound artist Ian Nyquist returns with a new album (Gilded) that bridges ancestral traditions and modern experimentation. Blending reimagined Irish instruments, ambient textures, and hypnotic rhythms, he crafts a lush, transportive soundscape both organic and otherworldly.
Ian Boddy & Chris Carter :: Caged 25th Anniversary Edition (The Gray Area Of Mute)
Released in 2000, Caged is a groundbreaking collaboration between electronic music pioneers Ian Boddy and Chris Carter, blending industrial, ambient, and experimental sounds into a uniquely evocative experience. This remastered and expanded edition showcases their deft interplay of menacing drones, cinematic textures, and intricate sonic details, making it essential listening for fans of avant-garde and post-industrial music.
‘t Geruis :: The Kindest Encounters (Home Normal)
Belgium-based sound-art project ‘t Geruis, the alias of Daniël Jolan, crafts deeply introspective ambient compositions rich in textured, grainy detail and emotionally immersive soundscapes. His latest release on Home Normal leans into shadowy drones and decaying acoustic fragments, evoking a melancholic elegance reminiscent of William Basinski and Miguel Angel Tolosa.
Capricorni Pneumatici :: IX TAB (Eighth Tower)
Raffaele (Sonologyst) of Eighth Tower Records champions pioneering works from the (post)industrial and experimental scenes, with Capricorni Pneumatici among Italy’s key industrial artists. Their latest album, IX TAB, explores esoteric Maya mythology through mystical atmospheres and abstract electronic soundscapes for an immersive, uncompromising experience.
co/wa :: co/wa EP (BOA CVC)
co/wa is the ambient, experimental debut of longtime friends Julian Watts and Jeremy Cohen—an exploration of sound, environment, and technology, captured in a day and shaped over a year. Released on their Alpine, Oregon-based label BOA CVC, the four untitled tracks drift through improvised synthesis and field recordings, inviting stillness through minimal, emotionally resonant soundscapes.
Glinca :: Tament (Fluid Audio)
In the current landscape of experimental ambient and electroacoustic music, Tament stands out precisely because it resists easy categorization. It’s an album that doesn’t force interpretation but opens a space for it, a set of sonic invitations that reward patience and close listening. Glinca doesn’t so much give answers as pose questions about how we listen, about what we overlook, and about how sound itself carries memory.
øjeRum :: Drømme I Langsomt Stof (Glacial Movements)
øjeRum is the microtonal sound art project of Danish composer and visual artist Paw Grabowski, known for his prolific work in long-form drone ambient. First discovered through The Blossoming of the Nothingness Trees on Fluid Audio, he has since released on notable labels like Quiet Details, Cyclic Law, and eilean rec. His latest album, Drømme I Langsomt Stof (Glacial Movements), blends melancholic tones with subtle microtextural shifts, offering a cold yet emotionally rich listening experience.
zakè :: Selected Remixes (Zakè Drone)
Selected Remixes reflects Zach Frizzell’s collaborative ethos and transformative ear, reworking tracks from across the ambient and experimental spectrum. With his signature analog warmth, chthonic textures, and spectral drift, zakè reshapes source material into a cohesive suite of deep-listening reinterpretations that reveal his intuitive sonic alchemy.
