Paul Riedl : Ambient Mixtape Vol. 3

Musician Paul Riedl has made a name for himself in the death metal scene with his bands Blood Incantation and Spectral Voice. Riding a wave of sonic doom and cosmic psychededlia, Riedl has put his stamp on extreme metal. But when he’s not writing pummeling riffs Riedl is making a different kind of cosmic psychedelia. […]

Jonas Munk : Altered Light

Musician, label runner, and all around sound wizard Jonas Munk has a knack for building sonic masterpieces with nothing more than guitars, synths, and racks of blinking lights and patch cables. I liken Munk’s ambient/new age work in Manual, Billow Observatory(with Auburn Lull’s Jason Kolb), Ulrich Schnauss, and his solo work to falling slowly through […]

Burial Grid : Shores Of Quiddity

If you stop by more than once in a while over here then you should know who Burial Grid is. For the newbies, Burial Grid is the electronic musical project of Adam Michael Kozak. Kozak leans into the darkness in his music, giving an unflinching look at both the darkness in the world as well […]

Papir Return With ‘7’, Out 1/14/22; Listen To the Gorgeous “7.2”

Papir are one of those bands that transcend with each album. Starting out with an impressive run of LPs with the mighty El Paraiso Records in the 2010s, the power trio(which consists of Christoffer Brøchmann Christensen (drums), Nicklas SØRENSEN (guitars, keyboards) and Christian Becher Clausen (bass, keyboards), moved over to Stickman Records in 2017 and […]

Sounds of the Universe : A Conversation With Astral TV

Today we jump into the Wayback Machine and head to September 15th, 2017, when I had a nice chat with Rasmus Rasmussen and Keith Canisius. Rasmussen is the keyboardist for psych rock titans Causa Sui, as well as recording under the name Aerosol. Keith Canisius releases under his own name, and most recently as Shortwave […]

Long Story Short : Video Age, Sermons By The Devil, Andy Fosberry, and Pharagonesia

Here’s another ‘Long Story Short’ post. This is where I compress a handful of reviews into one post. Why? Well because there’s too much good music and not enough clones of myself to write expansive reviews for each release. So I’m dropping a paragraph each about some albums I think you should put in your […]

Burial Grid Returns With New Album ‘Shores of Quiddity’; Listen To “Biphasic”

East coast musician Adam Michael Kozak, aka Burial Grid, is returning to fill our ears and minds with new electronic music in the form of Shores of Quiddity. The album is a departure from Burial Grid’s previous LP, the dark, vocoder-heavy We’ve Come For Your Flesh which came out at the beginning of 2021. While […]

Justin Sweatt : When The Light Goes

Justin Sweatt is a weary traveler in this world. He looks around with an artist’s heart and a writer’s mind, capturing what he sees and interprets it through electronic music. Sweatt might consider himself a cynic, but I’d say he’s more of a stoic. The bitter of life doesn’t escape him, but he doesn’t let […]

Shortwave Broadcaster Returns With ‘In Flow’, Out 7/16; Listen To Hazy Title Track

Keith Canisius is no stranger to ethereal electronic music. He’s released music with Rumskib, Astral TV, and under his own name. All of these projects mix elements of shoegaze, dream pop, Berlin School, and heavy synth, with Astral TV deep diving the most into the German experimental electronic movement of the early 70s. With Rasmus […]

Collin Gorman Weiland To Release ‘Now And Thus Suite’ June 25th; Listen To “Bird’s Desert Shadow”

The new album Now and Thus Suite from musician/producer/engineer Collin Gorman Weiland is a sublime and ethereal collection of new age/ambient songs that are reminiscent of classic private press releases of the 70s. I find myself getting lost in the hazy electronics and otherworldly mood of this 4-track LP. It’s the kind of album that […]
