My Home, Sinking ~ Sleet
The surprising thing about Sleet is how warm it sounds, considering its title. This is the second winter-themed release from My Home, Sinking, both released in May, when garlands and dances around the maypole are more in fashion. Instead of capturing the feeling

Anna Caragnano & Donato Dozzy ~ Sintetizzatrice
Ambient in nature, yet stemming from an electronic background, Sintetizzatrice is a departure for Donato Dozzy and a wonderful debut for Anna Caragnano. The album’s title is the Italian feminine for “synthesizer”, but in this case it’s more of a synthesis. Donato Dozzy layers and

SOL ~ Where Suns Come to Die
The Cold Spring label has been a leader in the field of dark ambience for over a quarter century now, enough to have spawned second generation listeners. While early adopters are still enjoying their Merzbow discs, late arrivals may claim

Brandon Hurtado ~ Other Spaces
Ghosts fade with music. The banishment of stress, not to mention the complete erasure of the accompanying, all-consuming fear that rears its ugly head, is possible when listening to music. You can zone out and unwind, no matter the genre. Of

Kit Wilmans Fegradoe ~ Issa
Our Easter review is a tribute to the lost years of Jesus, during which he purportedly traveled throughout the Middle East, studying other traditions and learning about the diversity of humanity. This is all speculation, but it’s a compelling story,

Heezen ~ Abandoned Memory
In addition to the recording of music, a reel-to-reel tape recorder can record memories and atmospheres. Found sounds and found objects can be unearthed, and you’ll even find people and personalities embedded within the metallic cool of the machine. They

M. Ostermeier ~ Still
How still do you like your stillness to be? As still as “4’33”, as measured as glacial ambience, or inwardly still but outwardly in motion? On his first album since 2011, M. Ostermeier adopts the latter tactic. As the world begins to
