L A N D ~ Anoxia
Anoxia is dark and dynamic, filled with original timbres and some of the best stereo effects we’ve heard all year. The title refers to a lack of oxygen, and the music may leave listeners breathless. Listening to “City of Glass” (from 2012’s

Gypsy Eyes ~ Nefelibata
Listening to Nefelibata is like walking through a haunted house backwards. First there’s the fright: the dense, droning waves, the disembodied voices, the crackle and crunch. But by the end, the timbres are soft and sweet enough to sleep to. This LA-based artist
