Comments closedNYX is the result of years of collaboration and transformation, reflecting the collective’s signature blend of experimental vocal techniques and electronic alchemy. NYX’s debut album pulses with primal energy and delicate introspection, weaving together the ancient and the futuristic. It’s a spellbinding journey through the human experience, crafted not just to be heard, but also deeply felt.

Comments closedFrom the depths of solitude and the fringes of civilization emerges the latest release from Ansiktsløs, the project of R. Ikstelzok, also known for his work in Apocryphos and Psychomanteum. Forged in the shadows of the Pennsylvania wilderness, this album is a meditation on the final cycle of humanity, capturing the weight of solitude, erosion, and detachment from the modern world.
It is midnight. Summon Satan.
Un Monolito en llamas quiebra el Horizonte by KAVERNA. May actually have to get a copy, it’s really fun.

Comments closed“While Richer describes it as ‘music from an alternate world,’ there is something distinctly Maritimes sounding about this album, calling to mind the isolated coastal communities of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. The microscopic bleeps and boops of ‘Reef Analysis’ and ‘Myst Fortahn Probes’ inch their way forward like lichen spreading over windswept rocks, while the sequenced rhythms of ‘Falcon Maze’ and ‘Tidal Denouement’ shine and shimmer like cabin lights on the shore.”
Fuubutsushi – Harmony of Irrelevant Facts. A great crashing wave of a thing.
Comments closedV O S T O K (Album) by Samira Arianne. Dark and swirly, undertones of drama. Space life and space dreams.
Comments closedGlorious. Dream Spell by Jolanda Moletta. Perfect night music. From the creator of NIGHT CAVES.
Comments closedPresented as “a mesmerizing mix of musics, whispers, and spells for liberation from tyrants without and within,” and quite wonderful. I need to figure out how to get this directly delivered.
Comments closedAmerican Memory by Imperial Valley.
It’s 2025. A fledgling dictator is seated in the Oval Office. There is talk of trade wars, of mass deportations, of reduced reproductive rights for women. In southern California a lone field recordist roams the Mexican border, cataloging the sounds of the desert. Glamis, Acolita Sand Hills, ghosts of Obregon.
Outside Yuma the power lines hum a lonesome ditch-bank blues. On the dustroads off the I-8 the car’s radio skips between stations. Amid the music and the static there are voices from a different century, but the fears they speak of are timeless. Isolation, deprivation, powerlessness…
A gorgeous but sombre piece of post-rock “ditch-bank blues.” RAISE YR SKINNY FISTS-era Godspeed! playing at a funeral.
One CommentComments closed‘frailty’ marks the welcome return of anthéne for his seventh solo (and tenth in total) album on Home Normal.
One of the most revered and respected ambient producers around today, the work of Canadian Brad Deschamps has appeared on a number of established labels in the past decade, alongside his own labels Polar Seas and his new tape label, Floralia.
‘frailty’ continues his journey of beautiful, subtle melodicism in an ambient framework. Born from deep and warm analog tonal elements, anthéne works through the most fragile and intricate of layering through each piece, typically sourced from guitar. The track title ‘mapping out the memories’ really sums up this singular artist whose signature sound is always that of calm introspection upon youthful memory and joy.
