The year starts in a good way for the chill-out vibe of ambient music and this album can already compete among the best of the genre. A powerful and oceanic immersion through sparkling tone colors and sinuous spacious melodies.

Tim Hecker :: Shards (Kranky)
Even though these tracks were created for different projects, Shards doesn’t feel like a mere compilation. Instead, it plays like a carefully curated journey through Hecker’s brooding, textural world.
Myoptik :: Depth Of The Ventricoule (Móatún 7)
Flickering beats cascade as stretched drone textures unfold and fade, while Myoptik constructs a colossal, abstract sonic avalanche—complex yet as smooth as silk.
Deuter :: Mångata (Curve Blue)
A collection of nine songs, inspired by the natural world, bringing a pleasing sense of inner peace and healing, while slowing down the madness of this world. Mångata explores the connection between the Earth and the Moon’s reflected light on water.
Earthen Sea :: Recollection (Kranky)
Combining calming dub, shoegaze (shoegauze), and sinuous psychedelic/guitar inflections, Recollection delivers an emblematic return to some familiar sounds, easily pulling in fans of these genres, and others besides.
Ben Lukas Boysen :: Alta Ripa (Erased Tapes)
Boysen, in sum, steers these definitive high-level productions as some of the finest on the planet. Creating an engrossing auditory experience of controlled chaos, Alta Ripa transports entangled technoid versus atmospheric coordinates that simply do not hold back.
Murcof :: Twin Color (vol. I) (InFiné)
Twin Color (vol. I), with its recontextualization of analog synthesis with post-digital methodologies, its creation of a sound at once nostalgic and future-based, bears eloquent testimony to Murcof’s continued innovation in the electronic sphere.
P.ST :: The Noise Fields (Silent)
The four fields of noise on this album connect different points in deep time to an essential temporal unity in a carnival of whirling chaos whose sound is as powerful as any cyclone or vortex. It can suck you in, and through its portal, transport your mind into another world of consciousness.
D-Fried :: Images Sur La Mer (Phonocake)
Images Sur La Mer is a two-part soundtrack dronescape that ebbs and flows into surreal textures, tones, and muted abstracts over the course of more than forty sparkling minutes.
