Jóhann Jóhannsson ~ End of Summer

Deison/Favaron ~ Nearly Invisible

Mind Over MIDI ~ deep map

Cold, dark atmospherics snake around the music of deep map. Something lurks just below the surface, producing the occasional splash and a series of subtle ripples as its tentacles slowly break the water. Norway’s Helge Tømmervåg (Mind Over MIDI) plunges the listener into a murky landscape

Midnight tones lurk around the corners of Bound By An Endless Desire To Wander Down Avenues Of Apathy. The plummeting light slips away, giving way to the witching hour. At this time of night, the pitch-black street becomes a no-go zone. You should
