These expertly detailed sonic Polaroids encapsulate the spirit of time, past and present, as though to ease the listener into a thick fog with tranquil audio-visual textures, tones, and drones.

Six Rivers National Forest :: Folklore (Peak)
Behold! An unknown beast! One that you may be able to spot while taking a walk in the frosty and mysterious soundscapes that Folklore depicts, a good alternative for those who don’t live in snowy areas.
NYORAI :: Shinkirō (蜃気楼) (Mahorka)
A well-balanced album of emotive experimental electronic music that aims to expose finer visual-audio fragments in its dense sound design. An upper-level release we’ll keep in constant rotation.
Malasomma :: NEOLINGUA (Stochastic Resonance)
Malasomma (also known as Marco Malasomma) produces a soundtrack for this language; featuring skewed audio worlds that ebb and flow, occasionally delivering noisier constructs to heighten the tension.
Oberman Knocks :: Khaptop Arc Phore EP (Errorgrid)
Errorgrid, who keep putting out darker sounds of the present future, opens UK-based Nigel Truswell’s account under his Oberman Knocks moniker. Khaptop Arc Phore then takes the imprints theme a step further with a four-track blackened IDM flood of distilled soundscapes.
Philippe Neau :: Domus (Lotophagus)
These eight compositions feature atmospheric notes, delicate tones, and drones, but the real attraction of Domus is the organic beauty of its flora and fauna.
ILUITEQ + Lorenzo Montanà :: Katà Métron (n5MD)
Katà Métron skillfully develops and reinforces the suggested objective of “living in harmony with oneself and nature,” a powerfully serene soundtrack we should all take notice of, and a surrounding sonic highlight for 2024.
Aeon Cub :: Transmissions from Deep Space 909 (STATIONS)
Processing 23 relatively short tracks of off-kilter exp-electronics, drill’n bass, ambient, noise, glitch, braindance, and space station soundtracks, the album is filled with atmospheric debris and four PSAs to keep us in check along the way.
Humanfobia :: RINGU リング (2024) (Let’s Talk Figures)
Humanfobia has brought a path of death and destruction across the planet. This latest offering is a master work of horror and anguish that surely few can survive. The sound is not complicated, bass and keys with strange tones, groaning guttural unearthly sounds and sexy whispers from a ghost who follows me into my dreams.
Celine Arnauld & End of Cycle :: Bouncing Dance EP (Clean Error)
Bouncing Dance outlines Clean Error’s goal to revive the early IDM era and present new and intriguing sound sculptors who continue to develop fresh and original methods to portray it.
