Classical and sacred music vocalist Maria Valentina Chirico creates airy magic on this stunning single from invisibilia editions. Based on verses from Rainer Maria Rilke, “Initiale” resonates with a glowing sadness in her transcendent melody backed by plucked strings and a whirring carillon. Lighting the way toward a higher calling, Chirico’s arrangement builds tension and […]
There are so many occasions where two great artists come together to make a record and the results are so-so. Often, especially in cases where they bring an encyclopedic history with them, it can be difficult to cede space and find new ground. None of this is the case with Lucy and Aaron. Reading the artists’ […]
When I first heard marine eyes this spring, I connected with the vibrant warmth that permeates her recordings. Her music opens up beautiful sonorous worlds where listeners can find respite, an aural cocoon drifting in space as the soothing tones wash through the air. On her debut, idyll, she created a beautiful aquatic ambient world […]
Karkhana is a seven-headed hydra featuring musicians from Beirut, Cairo, Istanbul, and Chicago. Recorded live in 2019, the group is ascendent on Al Azraqayn. Finding a psychedelic island somewhere between classic Middle Eastern folk, avant jazz chaos, and heavy jazz-fusion grooves, Karkhana’s music is free and flowing like a river on fire. Al Azraqayn shifts through six different […]
I’m not sure much more needs to be said beyond the short track description: “A jam between Panda Bear and Maral,” and yet I’m going to. Maral blew me away with Push last year, and this alien dub treat continues that trajectory. Panda Bear’s vocal inflections flicker over churning, psych-infused synths while Maral laces Iranian music samples […]
Illuminating the inside of Asemix, the collaborative force of Mari Maurice (aka more eaze) and Nick Zanca (aka Mister Lies), are ideas in constant motion. These are musicians with distinct voices and ideas spread across vast discographies, yet Asemix finds its own euphoric lane. Living on the diamond’s edge, their first missives careen through a […]
On this mix, we get gonzo’d by Bokeh‘s resident plunderphonic crew, Ambulance vs. Ambulance mashing together a mix of slowed down records, harmonica, shitty vocals, and more. Get deep into these cracks with this mix, called Accidental Meeting, and in the meantime also grab a copy of Ambulance vs. Ambulance’s killer album, Industrial Country. And […]
Imperium Droop gloriously rolls off the tongue. When you bring together two artists like Mouse on Mars’ Jan St. Werner and Oneida’s Kid Millions (among so many other things – but my brain will always make that association first), something unexpected and magical is bound to happen and that’s absolutely the case with the Imperium Droop. When […]
All through Dash Lewis’ latest Gardener album, I Am Here For A Moment, runs an ecstatic thread. Electronics swirl through neon-soaked skies, lighting up the night in the last days of summer. Lewis is such an underrated alchemist when it comes to experimental electronic music. Between his stellar recent collaboration with Jeff Zeigler and last year’s Calm […]
