Manual : True Bypass

Musician and producer Jonas Munk has remained pretty busy these last few years. Between releasing music with Causa Sui, ambient solo works, and putting out records with Auburn Lull’s Jason Kolb as Billow Observatory, he’s leaving a wide swath of sonic endeavors for us to get lost in.

Filippo Diana : The Haunted Palace

Italian musician and composer Filippo Diana works in the dark corners. His music feels pulled from some Gothic nightmare; dark corners, monolith castles hid in ancient forests, and existential dread just under the surface all built from ambient textures, propulsive synthesizers, and the drive to take the listener on a journey.

Dressel Amorosi : House of Dolls

The musical world of Dressel Amorosi is a splendid, sinister thing. The band consists of Heinrich Dressel(Valerio Lombardozzi) and Federico Amorosi, a duo locked heavily into the world of Giallo scores, Goblin jams, and prog rock tightness. All combined together gives us a musical world of 70s Italian horror with plenty of meat on the […]
