Tiny Leaves ~ What We Dream Of
It’s nice to have friends, especially when one is new. Tiny Leaves (Joel Nathaniel Pike) is accomplished on his own, as evidenced by the previously-reviewed Get Yourself Up On a High Mountain; his ambient work is complimented here by the remix contributions

Rezo Glonti ~ The Diary of the Second Officer
An engineering blueprint welcomes the listener to The Diary of the Second Officer, an imagined record form of a real journey, a project that reveals not a connection between different places by sound but their possible construction through it. It

David Newlyn ~ The Misspelled Numbers EP
Vastly different from David Newlyn‘s Deterioration, reviewed here earlier this year, The Misspelled Numbers EP walks listeners into the autumn with “pastoral hums, voices in the rafters and other educational oddities”. Although it refers to school, the EP doesn’t sound like school; at least

Kate Carr and Gail Priest ~ blue | green
We’ve seen a few color-based releases already this year; Machinefabriek’s Colour Tones included odes to green and blue, while Spheruleus’ Cyanometry looked at the various hues of the latter and Darren Hayman’s blue vinyl Lido dealt specifically with the blue of the British swimming pool. Last

Black Elk ~ Sparks
Having resided on the fringes of the experimental music scene for the past three years or so, I have time and again been utterly fascinated by the people involved in it; their passion for music and nothing else, their willingness

Inner Trip ~ Initiate
Inner Trip is the alias of Iranian musician Saman N. and Initiate acts as his sophomore release. Initiate avoids the curse of the follow-up that many artists seem to struggle with, largely due to the deeply personal vision that exists inside the music. Every

Sima Kim ~ Songs
Sima Kim’s album comes with the unimaginative title Songs, probably because he has for the first time added vocals to his minimal ambient compositions. The song titles of the two original tracks in this ep are simply “I” and “II” but

IA ~ Peak of Anchorite
There’s a part of ambient music closely tied to drone, the part that concerns itself mostly with repetition, that has distanced itself from both the ‘lightness’ of setting the mind adrift as self-spectator and the ‘heaviness’ of noisy irruptions of
