Ouroboros emerges as a fully realized assembly of extraterrestrial circuitry, endlessly bent, folded, and reconfigured into excitingly unique forms.

The Heartwood Institute :: Plague Dogs (Folk Police Recordings)
Much music is steeped in the history of the place where it was made, and here Jonathan Sharp, the musician behind this project, trawls the borderlands of fiction, imagination, and the real places written about in the Plague Dogs where he went to collect sounds for the album.
RL Huber :: Sea Legs (Self Released)
RL Huber of Eureka Springs, Arkansas has an orchestral sound, with abundant strings and pianos, and a classical-drone crossover feeling that is complex and subtle.
Simon Pyke :: Drift Works (Self Released)
Operating as Simon Pyke (aka Freeform) and various collaborative ventures, unveils Drift Works—twelve fractured post-ambient sketches unfolding in slow, seamless disintegration.
Yulyseus :: Nothing Under Heaven (n5MD)
The nostalgia embedded within Nothing Under Heaven is particularly striking. It is not tied to any singular past, nor does it lean on sentimentality. Instead, it manifests as a kind of emotional afterimage. A sense of having felt something deeply without being able to fully recall its shape. This gives the music a haunting familiarity, as though it is reflecting something the listener already carries but has not yet named.
Puscha :: Not That Special (NEN)
Grounded in an innate sense of utter realness, Not That Special communicates through suggestion and imagined triggers, illuminating the edges of the present moment. It leaves a subtle but lasting impression—an ambient salve for the harms of modern urban acceleration, and a work that lingers long after its final note.
Ital Tek :: Mind Abandon (Planet Mu)
Alan Myson’s carved out his own corner, one where rhythm is secondary to texture, and where live instrumentation gets processed into something unrecognizable but still visceral. This is music that feels carved and three-dimensional, like the press notes say, but it’s also restless and uncomfortable in a way that keeps you engaged. It’s not an easy listen, but it’s a rewarding one.
A-Sun Amissa & Lauren Mason :: Water Scores (Gizeh)
Once voiced by Mason, water becomes both storyteller and observer—flowing through calm, chaos, evaporation, and return. Around this, A-Sun Amissa builds a rich soundscape using drone, classical instruments, processed guitars, synthesizers, and subtle samples.
Andrew Anderson :: Thresholds (Elevator Bath)
Thresholds is an album that stays with you. It subtly alters the way you listen. It opens a door into a liminal space where sound becomes memory, and memory becomes atmosphere. In doing so, Andrew Anderson has created a work that is both deeply personal and universally evocative, a rare and rewarding listening experience.
V/A :: The Sound of Dreams (Inspired by Breathing)
The Sound of Dreams is everything I like about anthologies, a collection of very diverse personalities and idiosyncrasies expressing themselves in short performances, with plenty of guitars, strange but empathetic vocals (especially the chanting) and most of all, the sounds of birds and bugs.
Euan Alexander Millar-McMeeken :: Soundtracking the quiet years
Euan grew up in a mostly quiet, non-musical household where records were scarce and music lived mainly in car rides soundtracked by Fleetwood Mac and Whitney Houston—until a childhood Walkman and Lionel Richie cassette sparked a lifelong, deeply personal connection to sound.
