Drunk Robots ~ aftermath
Over the past year, Drunk Robots has undergone a slow, loud evolution, dialing down its softer ambient elements in favor of crunchier electronics. This gradual shift over a quartet of releases (two albums and two EP’s, not counting “collapsing labyrinth”, included on

Dor ~ Housekeeping
Jacob plays drums, John plays bass. Dor is drums and bass, not drum ‘n’ bass. But when their electronics are added to the equation, the combination produces real sparks. Even a short piece such as “brick” contains a certain mystery: tambourine

Vektormusik ~ Uro / Unrest
Denmark’s duo Vektormusik is an oddity, and we like oddities. The cover reflects the title, which becomes apparent by reading the press release: the English word “mobile” becomes “uro” in Danish, but “uro” translated back into English becomes “unrest”. Each of these

Electronic Observations 2013 #2
It’s that time again – I’ll be honest, this would have been a lot earlier if February had a sensible number of days like the other months. Or maybe if I hadn’t been sidetracked by Autechre’s radio shows which dominated

Dan Friel ~ Total Folklore
Dan Friel uses a thrift store basement’s worth of pedals and odd gear to craft crumbling Nintendo anthems. When we say “anthems” we mean choreographed marching down the middle of the street with Super Mario and the fire department, fists in the air

Nienvox ~ Space Castles, Love Songs
When is a mixtape not a mixtape? When it sounds like a mixtape, but is comprised of original sounds. This is the case with Space Castles, Love Songs, a groovy, beat-tastic full-length from Russia’s Alexander Efimov, also known as Nienvox. When listening,

Oneirogen ~ Kiasma
Mario Diaz de Leon is a composer living in Brooklyn, and here he presents his second full length as Oneirogen. The sound quality is rich and processed to gritty perfection. Stylistically, it’s easy to make Sunn-O))) and M83 references. The metal aspect

bvdub ~ A Careful Ecstasy
The sequel to Serenity, A Careful Ecstasy continues Brock Van Wey’s fine vein of form. A Careful Ecstasy drapes a clearer veil of melancholia over herself, and this is quite a change for the usually sanguine bvdub. If Serenity was head over heels in love,
