Often, when drone music is mentioned in relation to ritual practices I come upon the idea of an electronics-based modernist primitivism, full of loops and delays and other manipulative techniques that link to new relationships to new technologies. Few are

LCNL 078: Jilk’s Slumber Party mix
Our first mix of 2017 comes from Jilk, a Bristol collective whose music is shaped from collaged found-sounds, glitch cuts and clicks, and deep ambient soundscapes. A perfect eclectic mix to get lost on in these difficult winter months.

Marcus Fjellström ~ Skelektikon
To enter Skelektikon is to enter a world of dark fantasy. The elegant video for “Hermitage” (directed by Marcus Fjellström himself) is drenched in dark shadows and simultaneously informed by Kafka and Grimm. Strange creatures and contraptions interact as the moon rises diagonally

Colin Andrew Sheffield & James Eck Rippie ~ Essential Anatomies
Fourteen years is a long break, but that’s how long it took Colin Andrew Sheffield & James Eck Rippie to return to the studio. Variations first appeared in 2001, followed by two sound installations; then silence. When one listens to the newly expanded

Margaret Harmer ~ Falling Inside
Positive sounds immediately bloom outwards. Eyes are opened, and the senses converge on this lightly scented collection from Margaret Harmer. Falling Inside is a lush and peaceful place, somewhere you can go to both lose and find yourself, to let go completely and

OKADA ~ Floating Away From the World
Rain falls, a lucid rain, clearing everything. OKADA‘s music feels like this: a steady and uninterrupted stream of cleansing rain, washing away the collective grime with a shower of natural purity. The weather affects people in different ways. Sometimes, an emotional
