Graham Reznick : The Interconscious Catalogue

Graham Reznick operates in his own time zone, interdimensional space, and auditory frequency. As a sound designer for films Reznick is a bit of a wizard, encapsulating visuals with the kind of auditory experience one could easily describe as a all-encompassing. As a director his work like I Can See You and the Shudder series […]

The Black Angels : Wilderness of Mirrors

Austin’s The Black Angels have done quite a unique thing in that throughout their nearly 20-year career as a psych rock band they’ve remained relevant. They’ve never tried being anything more than what they are, which is a dark, looming rock band. No forays into ballads, EDM, pop rock, or the like. Their records are […]

Kuma : Buy The Tools You Need With Time

Musician and producer Kuma has laid out quite the ethereal and expansive set of albums over the last couple of years. Between releases with Soundtracking The Void, Waxing Crescent Records, as well as self-released works his is a sound world of cavernous tomes and ambient swells that seem to emanate from some Jungian hole in […]

Marine Eyes : Chamomile

Every once in a while an album works its way into your brain that truly soothes the soul and calms the buzzing mind. 2020 was a year that I subsisted on ambient and drone music. It was the kind of music that offered what my weary head and heart needed so badly, a reprieve from […]

Sulk Rooms : Hymns For The Bone Horse

Thomas Ragsdale is a bit of a sonic wizard. His solo work propels from techno abandon to atmospheric sound collages that offer up a cinematic scope of mood and sonic grace. There’s also his work in Ffion which double downs on musical ARP odysseys and the stuttering heartbeat of a haunted dance floor. In his […]

Drew Mulholland : Messer’s Circulating Library

Drew Mulholland’s Messer’s Circulating Library, the latest release from Tom McDowell’s Library of the Occult record label, is quite unlike anything that’s come from the label. Melodic-driven songs are replaced by winding, drone-driven long form works that sound and feel more like traveling through dimensions and realities. Industrial swirls and resonating machinations give the impression […]

Carlton Melton : Where This Leads

California psych rock purveyors Carlton Melton have been putting out wobbly, gauzy, far out rock and roll for well over a decade now. Recording in a geodesic dome in northern California amidst redwoods and the faint crashing of waves on a Pacific Ocean coastline, Andy Duvall, Clint Golden, and Rich Millman make music as more […]

Camp Of Wolves : Granite Creek

The new album from David Salisbury’s electronic project Camp Of Wolves is heavy, man. Not in a d-tuned guitar and screamo vocals heavy, but the kind of heavy that hits you when you least expect it driving to work, or staring out at the sea. A monolithic melancholy that touches your cheek when some great […]

Kuma : Time Makes Memory Of Us All

Kuma’s musical world on Time Makes Memory Of Us All is a curious one indeed. It feels as if Kuma, a Canadian producer/DJ, is opening a portal to some strange world that’s grappling with a fight between the organic and the synthetic. Moving away from his dubstep roots, Kuma dabbles in the world of ambient […]

Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea : Liberamente

Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea’s new album Liberamente is the kind of record you fall deeply into. The trio that hails from both Indiana and Texas create a gorgeous sonic tapestry that feel like part drone-y ambient and almost modern classical. You hear notes and melodies but instruments aren’t discernible. It’s almost like hearing […]
