Mines Falls Returns With New LP ‘Piano Caldera’, Out Soon; Watch Video For New Single “Right Angle”

I’ve been following brothers Carson and Erik Lund for a couple years now. Their project Mines Falls is an exciting mixture of dark electronics, sleek production, and melodic art rock that sonically touches on everything from Massive Attack and LCD Soundsystem, to solo Thom Yorke and Son Lux. Similar artists aside, Mines Falls is its […]

London Odense Ensemble : Jaiyede Sessions, Vol. 1

El Paraiso Records has made a name for themselves as a label that welcomes freedom of expression and freedom of improvisation in the projects they support and release. From Causa Sui’s Pewt’r Sessions to Mythic Sunship’s Another Shape Of Psychedelic Music to Papir’s Stundum to Chicago Odense Ensemble to Ellis Munk Ensemble, these albums have […]

Camp Of Wolves : Dragoon

David Salisbury’s Camp Of Wolves has been one of those musical projects that I’ve been completely enamored with ever since I first heard Granite Creek a year and a half ago. That album rolled along like quiet melancholy; ambient and drone textures coalesced with emotional heft and vulnerability. His debut with label Soundtracking The Void […]

Burial Grid Will Ease Us Peacefully Into Our Demise; New Album in 2023

Adam Michael Kozak makes the sunniest songs about death and societal collapse you’re likely to hear. His electronic albums as Burial Grid house personal demons, family tragedies, and his own mental health struggles and general disappointment in the world that surrounds him. Yet, there is a warmth in the buzzing hardware and sublime melodies Kozak […]

Hawksmoor : Head Coach

Musician James McKeown, better known in the heady electronic music world as Hawksmoor, has put out some of the most forward thinking and far out heavy synth albums in the last couple years. Albums like Methods Of Dreaming, On Prescription, as well as his collaboration with The Heartwood Institute Concrete Island have demonstrated McKeown’s knack […]

Metavari : Soft Continuum(Studies Vol. 2)

Nathaniel Utesch has built his own unique, singular sonic world within the music project Metavari. There’s been an evolution from the band’s post-rock beginnings with a stage full of members, to the crystalline electronic tones that Utesch has brought the music to currently. The last few years has seen Metavari make the striking electronic album […]

Isvisible Isinvisible : Exhaler

Simon Pott’s Isvisible Isinvisible project has been a source of joy for my ears ever since I heard his Burning Witches Records self-titled debut back in 2018. His modular synth wizardry is nothing short of brilliant, as very few can conjure such melody, harmony, and nostalgia from such an unpredictable machine. The nostalgia comes from […]

Lynn Avery & Cole Pulice : To Live & Die In Space & Time

There’s a strange and beautiful sort of peace that comes over you listening to Lynn Avery and Cole Pulice’s collaborative album To Live & Die In Space & Time. A kind of middle ground between jazz and experimental electronic. A sound that lays over you as if Sun Ra and Mort Garson put together the […]

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 […]

Salvatore Mercatante : SM Synthesis

New York-based electronic musician Salvatore Mercatante doesn’t stick to just one vibe. He’s worked in the world of Giallo, experimental, minimalist, house, and heavy synth over the course of his musical endeavors. Regardless of what world he’s creating in, it’s always striking and engaging. I’m still unpacking albums like Tre Sfere, Presents Pistacchio Sessions, and […]
