Rắn Cạp Đuôi ~ Ngủ Ngày Ngay Ngày Tận Thế

Is Ngủ Ngày Ngay Ngày Tận Thế (Sleeping Through the Apocalypse) drone, trap, future pop, experimental, industrial, electronic?  Yes, all of these.  Vietnamese band Rắn Cạp Đuôi is “thirsty for fresh combinations of sounds,” and comes through in a big way, aided

Hollie Kenniff ~ The Quiet Drift

A perfectly titled album from one ambient music’s leaders, The Quiet Drift makes the perfect ending to a long, hard day ~ or perhaps to a long, hard season. Hollie Kenniff seems to want nothing more than to soothe, which she accomplishes through

Dan Hayhurst ~ Counters

Sculpture’s audio half Dan Hayhurst goes from Critters to Counters on his newest album, preserving the sci-fi aspect while traveling into the realm of deep space.  The music sounds like an Atari lullaby for robotic children, the only ones who might survive such a voyage.

bela ~ Guidelines

One of the season’s most distinctive releases comes from bela, whose deep dive into traditional Korean Nongak music yields a distinctly non-traditional timbre.  By digging into the archives of sheet music and YouTube performances, the South Korean artist finds a wealth

Figment Firmament Figtree ~ The Moving Fashion Of The Motionless

There’s a lovely comfort about settling into an album that is simultaneously fresh and familiar.  The Moving Fashion of the Motionless fits the bill, and the duo’s debut album seems to have fallen for the sixth letter of the alphabet, so

Koreless ~ Agor

Many will be familiar with Koreless (Lewis Roberts) from his production work on FKA Twigs’ sublime album Magdalene; the producer has also released multiple singles and an EP.  Agor is his widescreen debut, an album we suspect will head straight to the dance floors, now
