Linear Bells ~ An Island

If one wrote a manual for the ambient musician, it would probably contain an appendix listing words and images to steer clear of, if only because their over-use has toppled into cliché. The words ‘bells’ and ‘island’ would probably be

AJ Nutter ~ The Birds

Bodega Bay was the idyllic, at peace and unruffled slice of Californian life seen in Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1963 motion picture, The Birds. The west coast harbour town appeared to be nested safely from any kind of violence, until it,

S ND Y P RL RS ~ Rex

Rex roars into life on swells of distorted ferocity. As the seconds pass, it becomes clearer and clearer that the music of S ND Y P RL RS (Sunday Parlours) is not just void of vowels that have been visibly erased; the music

Isnaj Dui ~ Abstracts on Solitude

Many, when hearing the word ‘solitude’, will think of something unsettling, the fear of being alone (a broken communication, time fleeing away while they are trapped within the failure of self-consciousness). A few others will think of something comforting, a

SRFélix ~ S/T

This humble French release is a fine way to ease into a morning, especially a Monday morning after a long weekend.  Nothing too abrasive, and yet nothing too bland – just right.  The EP rises slowly like a groggy sleeper,

Bengalfuel ~ Roeblin

The latest effort from Bengalfuel is quiet, slow, and unrelentingly sad.  When I’ve been sad, it’s been sad with me, restrained and unassuming, an attentive companion.  But when I’ve been happy, it’s still been sad, threatening to bring me down,

Endless Melancholy ~ Music for Quiet Mornings

When reading the track titles, one can’t help but think of the year-end lists created by Headphone Commute:  “A Song For Watching Snowfalls”, “A Song For The Morning Star”, “A Song For Dreaming”.  Ukraine’s Oleksil Sakevych (Endless Melancholy) presents a
