Ben Chatwin ~ The Hum
The timbres of Ben Chatwin may sound intimidating, but their back story reveals their benign nature. The Hum amplifies sounds that may normally go unheard, the “hidden frequencies” detected by dogs and birds: power grids, radio waves, erased signals from blank tapes.

Kamixlo ~ Cicatriz
Hard days can produce hard music, as is apparent in the full-length debut of Kamixlo following a number of EPs. The producer honed his sound as the owner of the Bala Club imprint, a label and club that ignored boundaries in

Linn Elisabet ~ Fac ut Ardeat/Made To Burn
In the interactive game that accompanies Linn Elisabet’s new record Fac ut Ardeat/Made To Burn, there is an A.I. entity named MIT-Y that guides the user through a conceptual web of how to redefine self-identity. MIT-Y guides the user through

Kruder & Dorfmeister ~ 1995
In 2020, everything old is new again. Our hunger for nostalgia has burgeoned through reruns of classic TV shows, sports matchups and concerts. Artists have rediscovered abandoned styles. And in the case of trip-hop legends Kruder & Dorfmeister, the discovery of

Errorgrid: A Darker Sound of a Present Future
LA’s industrial-minded Errorgrid label launched in May, smack in the middle of the pandemic and an economic meltdown. In one sense, this was horrible timing, but in another, it’s just perfect. Billed as “a darker sound of a present future,” the label’s

Meitei ~ Kofū
The third in a trilogy that began with Kwaidan and continued with Komachi, Kofū is another brilliant release from the mind of Meitei. Each release has its own timbre; the first was unsettling (and was placed in our feature Music for Haunted Houses); the second

Botany ~ End the Summertime F(or)ever
Today is the first full day of fall, the perfect day to play End the Summertime F(or)ever. On the surface, it’s easy to receive this sardonic mixtape as a commentary on the end of the season, but underneath, it’s so much
