Lost Twin ~ The Mist
A descending sheet of gray fog conceals anything. It can even conceal music. Familiar faces turn into shrouded figures that walk steadily closer. Sounds echo, but their location remains a mystery; they just trail around in the distance. As soon as

ACL 2014: Top Ten Electronic
Electronic music isn’t just for dancing, although there’s plenty of dance music included in our year-end list. The list also includes childlike lullabies, dense sonic fuzz, and smooth, languid excursions. The eclectic selection below represents a cross-section of our tastes.

Koloto ~ Mechanica EP
Koloto‘s Mechanica EP has been receiving increased attention as of late, including a single (“Fox Tales”) on Bad Panda Records and a physical release on Abandon Building, including one new track and six remixes. We think it’s worth highlighting as well. Koloto

Horla ~ Orogenèse
The Le Cabanon label is relatively new to the business, having opened shop last year with Bruma’s Architect Method. This year’s release is a dark slice of industrial beats and breaks, including a short story in the physical edition (not screened

M. Sage ~ Data in the Details
Regular readers of ACL might remember this excellent mix from last year, Half-Speed Flourish by Matthew Sage. He played back old orchestral LPs at 16rpm, recording the result and mixing them together, giving us a window into his creative process and

Tallesen ~ Stills Lit Through
Let’s start with the video. “Strike Silver, Love Green” has been circulating since July, creating anticipation for Tallesen‘s debut album. The track title and visuals invite listeners to imagine Stills Lit Through as a colorful, synaesthetic experience. The slow-moving abstractions operate as paint

Another strong release on Spring Break Tapes, this time from Japanese beat conductor Bugseed. I’m sure I’m not the only one who somehow managed to miss out on this brilliant Tokyo-based producer, so the LA tape label is really doing

Golden Diskó Ship ~ Invisible Bonfire
The music of Theresa Stroetges (Golden Diskó Ship) is beautiful, beguiling and bold. Why can’t more pop music be like this? Simultaneously more accessible and intricate than 2012’s Prehistoric Dance Party, her latest work cements her reputation as a dynamic composer.
