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.
