Across 2025, hundreds of releases surfaced, with December granted space to settle. From that sweep emerged a carefully shaped collection of favorites, each paired with links to Igloo reviews and release pages. Arrangement follows artist names in alphabetical order, while a snapshot of tracks lives on our Soundcloud playlist, joined by random artwork highlights. No crowns, no rankings, no runners-up—only records that resonated.

Departure Street :: Phantom Sightings (Wormhole World)
Minimalistic guitar music that works as an easy going soundscape for a minimally distracting background that does not require your absolute attention, but it can also satisfy the need for details and perfect construction.
Irkya :: Mind Fog (Wormhole World)
There’s a meditative quality to Mind Fog, but not in a way that lulls you to sleep—more like guiding you through a lucid dream where each track is a different room in a strange, beautiful house.
Irkya :: night flowers EP (Wormhole World)
This EP, which is ultimately calming, contemplative, and spot-on in its sonic approach, is a prelude to an album that we’re pretty excited to hear will (also) be released on Wormhole World in February 2025.
WXR_JR :: Excerpts From The Vault Vol. 1-3 (Adventurous Music)
Always interested in how we communicate, music is the obvious medium, and speaking your ideas in another language is also interesting.
Allan J. Kimmel (Departure Street) & Francisco Sanfuentes (Sonidos Precarios) :: Été/Hiver (Self Released)
You can see the respect and patience that these musicians have, they do not speak the same verbal language but they are fluent in discovering and expanding their ranges of sounds, experimental and rich with strange hypnotic harmonies.
