Marie dior – Antitheist

April 29, 2013

0

The name of Marie Dior has lingered long enough on my list. With a fourth successive release this year the act was prone to featured here sometime and tonight is the night. The man behind the moniker is Diogo Correia, a Portugese producer now residing in Berlin. Once started with the basic freeware, he has […]

Veils – Cocoon

March 21, 2013

1

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 […]

Review: W0LCNUM – Virescit Vulnere Virtus

February 25, 2013

0

W0LCNUM is a known name among the ranks of Aural Sects. His latest release Virescit Vulnere Virtus may riddle you for a moment. However it translates to ‘courage becomes greater through a wound’, which fits well with its creator. The Englishman makes music in order to explore and process himself. A noble venture, which his listeners can undergo […]

Best of 2012

January 6, 2013

Before putting this blog on hold, I want to share my favourite albums from the past year. 2012 was a year in which I have listened to incredible amounts of (instrumental) hiphop. The genre both interested and fascinated me. This was due to the myriad of sounds and possiblities it has and I can only conclude […]

Short: (((О)))

October 14, 2012

There was a moment when (((О))) was getting a full review, however I realized it didn’t need it. This music sells itself. It’s accessible to anyone who enjoys new music from the genre of drag to the open electronics listener. Morning Lights caters to all. After a manic Introduction, a first great example arises: Lovers & Warsongs. It […]

Review: Fifty Grand – Fifty Grand

June 5, 2012

2

About a month ago I wrote about Fifty Grand for the first time. A Boston-producer dwelling in the dream hop genre. At the end of May she debuted at the prolific Aural Sects’ label with her first release. The self-titled album features four tracks which hadn’t been released until now. The other four have been shortened in comparison to their originals to the […]

Review: ∆AIMON – Flatliner

May 15, 2012

2

After first release Amen last year on Tundra Dubs, ∆AIMON returns this year  with Flatliner. This second instalment of the American duo displays a developed sound. It feels as if this album was created in a cloister, difficult to reach due to its hillside location. Each track has a mantra, enriching the album’s atmosphere. Flatliner appears to tap into the frequency of the […]

Short: Fostercare

May 8, 2012

With the release date of his full album approaching Fostercare dropped a few new tracks on his Soundcloud over the past weeks. After skipping Sleepless a few months ago, duisterling is bound to talk about the American’s new sounds before Altered Creature shows itself. City of Gods is the further development of Burn This City, the strong […]

Review: oOoOO – Our Loving Is Hurting Us

May 6, 2012

5

The wait was long, the expectations were high. However oOoOO, Christopher Greenspan’s moniker, has returned with new work to add onto Tri Angle‘s impressive catalogue. When listening, one of the first things to note is that Greenspan has wavered away from darkness and leans more towards the poppy sound of shoegaze and chillwave. Among the genre this trend is […]

Short: Evian Christ – Payo Rent

April 6, 2012

0

Back in February, I did a review on Evian Christ‘s Kings And Them. Then early last month Pitchfork featured a story on the man behind the moniker: Joshua Leary. Apart from doing a rising profile of the Englishman, the article featured an interview with the producer and some of his tracks. Among these, the website made the download of a B-side […]
