Emmanuel Witzthum ~ The Book of Dusts

Talvihorros ~ Eaten Alive
An upright skeleton with outstretched wings: both foreboding and hopeful at once. Such is the nature of Talvihorros‘ Eaten Alive, a chronicle of addiction and recovery that sheds layers of skin and sinew as it crawls toward the light. For Ben Chatwin

The Seaman & the Tattered Sail ~ Light Folds

A Closer Listen receives more submissions in the Ambient field than in any other, which means that our ambient artists must try even harder to stand out. This seems ironic, since the nature of ambient music has been not to stand out.

Olan Mill ~ Paths
Poignancy with brevity. That about sums up the ambient chamber duo Olan Mill, a pair from England who compose strictly in the winter time. “Bleu Polar” picks up right where their debut Pine left off with gorgeous etchings of violins
