Zalhietzli & Proud/Father ~ Split
Noise. Noise. Noise. Scratching, wrapping, clicking, breathing all around. Maybe it’s the sound of some heavily processed field recording. Maybe it’s the sound of hell, or maybe it was recorded inside some distant alien factory on some far-off planet on the

Dextro ~ In the crossing
For the seasoned traveller, the journey is often a mere means to the destination. For many others, boarding a plane or crossing an ocean can still produce a thrill. Regardless of disposition, all travellers treat their journey like an airlock

Soft Recordings ~ Discovery 1

Giulio Aldinucci ~ Yellow Horse
This is A Closer Listen‘s third review category for sonic chameleon Giulio Aldinucci, who has always operated as a multidisciplinary artist. Yellow Horse is his most unusual work to date, and as such is one of his best. Most people have a junk drawer somewhere
