Giulio Aldinucci ~ Archipelago
For many years, Giulio Aldinucci was known as the electronic artist Obsil. Last year, he stepped out under his own name with the internationally flavored Tarsia. As much as that release traveled from electro-acoustic to classical textures, Archipelago wanders from field recording to drone.

North Atlantic Drift ~ Monuments
The music of Toronto duo North Atlantic Drift rests directly on the border between ambient and post-rock. Sophomore album Monuments won’t get anyone’s head banging, but neither will it allow them to nod off. By straddling both genres, the duo should appeal to fans

Hakobune ~ Watching the Prescribed Burn
For the music of Hakobune, gorgeous, densely developed atmospheres are to be expected, and they’re always a dream come true. And like the sweetest dreams, the music is open, lush and positive, but they also fade after awakening. A caring love
