Celer ~ Tempelhof

Darkened cities you never thought you’d ever see speed past in an instant. During the day, you may get a sense of the place, but you don’t always get a taste of the place, of the culture and of the

Gypsy Eyes ~ Nefelibata

Listening to Nefelibata is like walking through a haunted house backwards.  First there’s the fright: the dense, droning waves, the disembodied voices, the crackle and crunch.  But by the end, the timbres are soft and sweet enough to sleep to.  This LA-based artist

Ant’lrd ~ Clouding Indefinitely / Selaroda ~ viaje a través de sonidos transportative

This is the sound of the Pacific Northwest…and beyond; the far-reaching sound of California’s Inner Islands. Clouding Indefinitely is a series of tape meditations designed to take you to inner, fantastical worlds. A slightly tropical sound (but without the shirt-sticking humidity) seems to

Ruhe ~ Patriarchs

Ruhe has been one of our favorite artists for a while, and Patriarchs proves that he can still surprise.  More piano-based than recent works (especially Chamber Loops, released earlier this year on Dauw), the new album seems like the work of an artist who

Rafael Anton Irisarri ~ A Fragile Geography

A Fragile Geography clawed itself out of the debris in what was a difficult period for Rafael Anton Irisarri. He left Seattle for New York, but during the removal process his entire studio, audio archives and possessions were stolen. Two years in the making, A Fragile Geography is a

LONE ECHO ~ Noize

Noize is anything but noisy. In reality, it’s shy and a little subdued. Liquid notes, swelling synths and lonely lines make up a nocturnal, ambient panorama perpetually showered by a fine, light drizzle. Down below, neon lights sparkle as Saturday night

The Infinite Calling ~ Vidya

Echoing like some kind of sonar searching the depths for a lost city, the watery textures of “Launching On Every Wave, I Find Eternity” slip through the music. They’re deep sounds; they’re sounds of the deep. They envelop your soul.
