Window Magic ~ Well Kept Era
Well Kept Era‘s chiming, vaguely-romanticized music gently wavers in the air, carrying with it the delicacy of a falling leaf and the whispered advancement of a plane’s vapor trail as it cruises at an altitude of thirty thousand feet. It doesn’t paint

EUS ~ Luminar
Luminar is a wide, yawning gulf shrouded by mists of uncertainty and self-doubt. It spirals the listener into a kind of free fall, because its intense music challenges the mind on its associated, long-held beliefs. Luminar is rooted in the problems that

France Jobin ~ Singulum
Like a sluggish mummification process, the light and creamy textures of Singulum are gently wrapped around the body, embalming the slowly developing ambient music. On Singulum, Montreal sound artist France Jobin gently nudges her music forward, and it’s so hushed

Soft Recordings ~ Discovery 1
At A Closer Listen, we wholeheartedly endorse, approve of and recommend the compilation approach. Unfortunately, it’s hard enough for artists as it is. It’s been that way for years, so a compilation album isn’t just a great (and sometimes necessary)

No Mask Effect ~ Quick Smart
Slow moving, misty drones largely conceal the brighter, glimmering chorus of birdsong, but they can’t suppress the gloomy sound of thunder. Mystery vehicles rumble and shudder as they pass by, extremely close and yet, due to a lingering band of

Mike Cooper ~ New Kiribati
In 1999, Kiribati became the first installment in a trilogy that later called itself the Ambient Exotica Soundscapes series. Hot off Discrepant, this is the first ever vinyl release for a record that still dazzles like a shiny, expensive jewel. New Kiribati’s translucent

Hybrid Palms ~ Rainbow Breeze
Welcome to Rainbow Breeze. It’s a highly colourful, exotic paradise overflowing with lucid, temperate tones and calming sounds. Deeper than tranquil, the music reflects a wholeheartedly peaceful scene and, like looking out on a family of white swans as they glide slowly
