Dear reader/visitor/interested party, As you can tell I haven’t been here a lot in the last months, apart from the last 2 weeks. This is due to a shift in my writing; I’ve been working more often on short stories and other creative work. And as I don’t possess an infinite amount of time, I […]

Back in April there was news on a new release of Greenspan’s brainchild oOoOO. One of the pioneers of the sound of witch house or drag as I prefer to call it. Then back in June oOoOO’s full-fledged debut was released. My absence made me unable to review it until now. However as I have […]

August 8, 2013

After publishing an article on which acts to follow, I realized I should do the same with labels. If only, because I forgot a few names and this blog has always been supportive towards all of them. No specific order, albeit the alphabet; Aural Sects Aural Sects is an internet label which started in 2011. […]

Therefore I wanted to highlight some potential great artists, who may be doing something great later this year. Slow Walker (dark) ambient Liz Harris (Grouper) teams up with Lawrence […]

Releases you should hear… (and I should have written about)

July 31, 2013

The title says it all, so this might as well kick off; Fuewa – Birth Place [Sonic Router] ambient, house Synopsis: Dubbed as outsider house, this particular oddity had to be listened to. There is a certain serenity in the sound throughout Birth Place as well as a feeling of maladjustment. For example ghostly loops in Blhok […]

Last year saw a surge of strong instrumental hiphop acts, taking subgenres such as trap and dream hop in its wake. The latter genre was featured here in the person of Fifty Grand.

Tineidae – Random Signal Analysis

March 28, 2013

Earlier this year I mentioned the name of Tineidae. It was Undermathic‘s review, in which I spoke of Tineidae’s strong debut at Tympanik Audio. Sooner than expected Pavlo Storonsky’s monniker resurfaced as he released the outtakes from his excellent debut Lights. With the brooding nature of Subheim and the atmosphere of Access to Arasaka, Storonsky had an […]

Veils – Cocoon

March 21, 2013

Since last year Veils have been on my mind. However due to the lack of time a review or discovery piece never made the 100%. Back in those days I categorised them as a darker version of Crystal Castles. As they both share a synth-based and synth-heavy sound in combination with indistinct vocals and lost […]
