NICK SCHOFIELD – “AMBIENT ARCHITECT”
About the single “Ambient Architect” Nick Schofield stated, “ Ambient Architect is simply about ambience interacting with structure. This piece is an analogy pointing towards the album’s source of inspiration – the National Gallery of Canada. The gallery’s architecture is like a skeletal cathedral made of glass, allowing the changing natural environment to merge with the structure. Musically, I …

WOLFF PARKINSON WHITE – VERITABLE RAPUNZEL (Self-Released, 2021)
Drummer Jochen Rueckert revives his experimental (and drum-less) electronic project Wolff Parkinson White, and it’s another wild, adventurous ride. For more than a decade, the German-born, New York-based drummer Jochen Rueckert has enjoyed stepping away from the drum kit to indulge in what he refers to on his Bandcamp page as “hard-to-listen-to electronic music.” Indeed, …

CIGARETTES FOR BREAKFAST – “WAIT”
The Philly Shoegaze band Cigarettes for Breakfast offer a strong 2021 first volley with “Wait”. A few years into the progression of post-hardcore bands slowly adding more and more effect pedals and turning the reverb up and the vocals down it feels like we are out of the chrysalis phase and we are finally starting …
SACHI KOBAYASHI – EPHEMERAL BEAUTY
Sometimes you just have to call it what it is. With Sachi Kobayashi’s ambient work calling this composition “Ephemeral Beauty” is no hyperbole. The Tokyo based artist layers intersecting melodic phrases, droning overtones and washes of near-in-the-red noise to create a thoroughly compelling, highly dynamic composition that lets light in around the corners and through …
DC – TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME (2020, SETOLA DE MAIALE)

Take the Long Way Home, however, reaches a new watermark that pushes their ability to create beautiful and challenging music into a new level.

MAGNETIC VINES – “THE UNFURLING OF SMALL LEAVES”
The expansion of control that happens when you shrink the sphere of what you have in your power to give life to is liberating. Maybe something like that is behind the succulent plant + modular synth phenomenon that seems to have awoken in many bare Brooklyn apartments. But here we are, just trying to manage …

NO VISITORS – LIVE FROM THE BOTTOMLESS PIT (RURAL ISOLATION PROJECT, 2021)
An absolutely brutal and unrelentingly bleak noise album by No Visitors under the Rural Isolation Project imprint. Live From the Bottomless Pit was composed from five months of field recordings in 2020 – which itself was an unrelentingly bleak and isolating year. Matt Turner – who performs under No Visitors composed this double CD with …

TOBIAS KARLEHAG – “STAY”
We are big fans of the ambient label Past Inside the Present. Pretty much everything they do either champions some up and coming artist or reveals a peek into new work from a legend working at the periphery. For “Stay” by Swedish artist Tobias Karlehag from the album Process, this debut missive feels incredibly lived …
