Linear Bells ~ An Island
If one wrote a manual for the ambient musician, it would probably contain an appendix listing words and images to steer clear of, if only because their over-use has toppled into cliché. The words ‘bells’ and ‘island’ would probably be

Listening Mirror ~ The Clearing / My Hiding Place
This new single by Listening Mirror starts out in similar fashion to countless other ambient/drone tracks with a low-key hum, but it soon ramps up the atmosphere and rather than being blasé about more ambience, one is suddenly beguiled. The

Witxes ~ Sorcery/Geography
The hyper-active brushwork, the busily plucked bass strings, the wailing of a saxophone off to one side… the thick and heady/heavy atmosphere created on the opening track suggests that Witxes are another band in thrall to what’s rapidly becoming a

Andres Thor ~ Mónókróm
We don’t tend to cover much jazz on A Closer Listen, but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy listening to it, and Mónókróm, the new album from Andres Thor has proved quite the office favourite. It’s not an all-out fully

Toaster ~ Buy Both and Feel Deceived
Re-issue! Re-package! Re-package! Re-evaluate the songs… Slip them into different sleeves, buy both and feel deceived? It’s not everyday an electronic artist names a record after a quote from a Smiths song, but it’s a pretty good way to put

Laurel Halo ~ Quarantine
‘Words are just words that you soon forget,’ sings Laurel Halo on the closing track of her debut full-length, which seems to undermine all that has gone before. For there are quite a lot of words on this record –

Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland ~ Black Is Beautiful
The duo previously known as Hype Williams are now using their ‘real’ names (it’s highly likely these too are pseudonyms, mind), presumably after a polite note from a lawyer representing the video director. But that’s the only thing that has

Last Step ~ Sleep
For most people, there are few things better than a decent sleep – insomniacs please look away now. The number of slang terms for the activity alone suggests that many of us regard it as not merely a necessity but
