El Paraiso Records Presents Fra Det Onde, Featuring Legendary Emil Nikolaisen

I know, so the first question you may have asked yourself is “Who is Fra Det Onde?”. The second is more than likely “Who is this legendary Emil Nikolaisen?” I try to keep up with all the good stuff musically, but it can be daunting. And when the good stuff originates in Europe it becomes […]

Shortwave Broadcaster Drops The Cinematic “Why Now”

At the end of last month Shortwave Broadcaster, aka Keith Canisius Baerken, dropped the debut album Afraid of Ai. That album was songs of heavily-effected guitar that unfolded slowly into exquisite ambient journeys. Songs both as long form epic and shorter bursts of melody, the five pieces came together to make one tranquil shot of […]

Johnny Woods : Pavilions

Johnny Woods’ brilliant Pavilions is a magical sort of record. It encapsulates all the things we love about minimalist electronic music. This Buchla-driven electronic album pulsates with a synthetic heartbeat that captures a sort of otherworldly optimism within its compositions.

Grapefruit : Light Fronds

The feeling you get listening to Light Fronds, Grapefruit’s ninth LP(and first with Moon Glyph Records), is that of quiet euphoria. Trippy loops, shimmering drones, and hazy electronics come together in a sea of sonic beauty to put your mind in a far peaceful headspace. Light Fronds was written and created by Portland musician and painter […]

Single Lash Return With “To Laugh”

Harbingers of doomed romanticism and Gothic beauty Single Lash may hail from Austin, Texas, but their sound is much more based in the gray, overcast UK towns of Liverpool, Manchester, and London. Painting woozy, dreamy pop songs out of delayed guitars, loping rhythms, and icy synths, singer/guitarist Nicolas Nadeau sings in a sultry baritone that […]

Turquoise Moon : The Sunset City

I’m sitting here listening to The Sunset City, the lost classic from 80s synth duo Turquoise Moon, and I get the feeling of a scorching West Coast sun burning its way into the back of my head. Beach that stretches for miles as palm trees sway in the fading light. Sidewalks once crowded with walkers, […]

Jump Off Into Infinity With Numün’s “First Steps”; Album Drops September 4th

There’s an organic quality to the deep space vibes of band Numün. Numün is a New York City-based band which consists of “ambient country” pioneer Bob Holmes (from SUSS) as well as new music composer and artist, Joel Mellin, and percussionist and multi-instrumentalist Chris Romero (both from Gamelan Dharma Swara). I’m completely new to the […]

Gyan Rosling : Embrace

There’s something ethereal and free-spirited about Gyan Rosling’s Burning Witches Records debut Embrace. The neon-eighties tilt, the airy synths, and the ‘Dance Party USA’-like percussive hits all come together like a swath of nostalgia that hit you direct in the face. Embrace is a time machine of an album that drops us right into 1986, […]

Well, nobody really knows except Dorothys Fortress and producer Django the Bastard. This sleazy slab of 7 inch wax was originally released over a decade ago(and rumors are that it was played by […]
