Chris Weeks ~ The Lost Cosmonaut

What a year for Chris Weeks!  In the space of 12 months, he’s released an album and remix album inspired by the sun; a trilogy of EPs inspired by the tide, the sea, and a sadly deceased cat; a double

Abre Ojos ~ Gates

Scott Baker doesn’t make videos to accompany his songs; he makes both at once.  The visuals are in mind when the music is made, and vice versa.  This makes his work as Abre Ojos flow with intention and grace.  The music itself

Illuminoscillate ~ Uniform Wall

Can one be harsh and tender at the same time?  If so, Australia’s Matthew Casey (Illuminoscillate) fits the bill.  A sweet biography traces his love of music back to the experience of listening to the sound of distant trains from

Pausal ~ Sky Margin

Halos are shy to be seen. On the surface, there aren’t that many. Above, though, comes the sound of angel song. Shining with a brilliant, angelic light, the music of Pausal is a scarlet, spectral aura that has transcended its original

Phirnis (Kai Ginkel) is one of the best underground drone artists around.  Much of the world got its first taste of the artist with “Cleansing”, a track on the Fields compilation, but he’s been honing his craft for years.  Feeding Lions arrives on

Attenuated ~ Deep Opacity

How often does a release make one excited enough to seek out an artist’s back catalog?  Not often, but Deep Opacity is the exception.  This drone-based electronic work is awash in color and texture, and should win Ian Kennedy (Attenuated) a much

Deison / Candor Chasma ~ Antimatter Circles

The bedrock of distinct noise arrives out of nowhere; the creeping hiss of an out of tune television set at three a.m, conjuring up feelings of apprehension and fear as another apartment is illuminated under the intense light of white
