Polypores Readies ‘Shpongos’, Out 4/26; Listen To “Everything Connected At Once”

The modular synth world of Polypores is quite the magical place. Stephen James Buckley approaches music as more than just melodies and electronic music. With each album he sees these songs as a means to connect on both a melodic and visceral level. Man and machine working together, with every buzzing circuit and blip of […]

Kuma : Rainbow Kaleidoscope For Constants

If Canadian producer/musician Kuma isn’t DJ’ing or using bpms to make people move on dance floors, then he’s creating ambient soundscapes to get completely lost in. Much like conjuring beats and four-on-the-floor techno bangers, his work in experimental soundscapes is equally engaging. On last year’s Time Makes Memory Of Us All(released on UK label Soundtracking […]

Chris Corsano & Bill Orcutt : Made Out Of Sound

There’s an exquisite beauty and a freedom of artistic expression on Made Out Of Sound that takes flight once you hit play. It never lets up till the last note of the record as the soar of creativity flies off into the horizon. The veteran improvisers Chris Corsano(drums) and Bill Orcutt(guitar) make albums that fly […]

Zombi & Friends : Song Covers I Never Knew I Needed Till I Heard Them

There’s something quite magical about the recent covers series that Steve Moore, AE Paterra, and Daron Beck have been cooking up in these troubled times. Who are Steve Moore, AE Paterra, and Daron Beck you ask? Well Moore and Paterra are the guys behind the prog/synth duo Zombi. They’ve been making progressive horror/synth music for […]

Floating Points & Pharoah Sanders : Promises

Promises is an album I never would’ve imagined to have been created, yet here I am talking about it. British producer Sam Shepherd, aka Floating Points, and experimental jazz legend Pharoah Sanders coming together to create a collaborative ambient album seems like something of a strange dream. But this is no dream. Shepherd wrote the […]

Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk Are In “Perpetual Motion”; ‘Eight Fragments Of An Illusion’ Out 4/23

The music of Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk is both reminiscent of their individual works and completely it’s own intimate beast. Both musicians are adept, prodigious even, in the studio. The studio is an extension of themselves; an instrument to be used much like a synthesizer, guitar, or sequencer. They not only build music, but […]

Zombi Drop The Stunning “Black Forest”; ‘Liquid Crystal’ Out In May

Last year Zombi, the prog/synth duo of Steve Moore and AE Paterra, released the excellent album 2020. An aggressive shot of dark and heavy electronic music that was just what we needed in the tumultuous summer of 2020. It was the most raw piece of music Zombi had released up to that point. Then just […]

Dark Fidelity Hi Fi : Beautiful Fragments

Dark Fidelty Hi Fi mastermind Rick Jones makes the kind of electronic music that tows the line between dance music and the feeling of an oncoming nervous breakdown. There’s both a manic push and a foreboding sense of calm that seem to swirl together on his albums. His latest for record label Bricolage called Beautiful […]

Fragile X : Between Worlds

On the latest from Fragile X, the windswept and cavernous Between Worlds, musician/producer J. Gorecki goes deep into cosmic soundscapes and ambient vibes. Listening to this album is like deep-diving into the universe’s psyche. The sound of existential static at the end of some galactic phone line that seemingly reaches to and past infinity. Between […]

BurningTapes : Devil x Nine

BurningTapes, aka Darren Page, has something a little different for your brains and ears this time around with his all new long player. He’s all but shelved the Carpenter-esque horror vibes and is ready to trample our psyches with dirty bass and scuzzy beats. There’s also a peppering of keys and samples that give the […]
