Mitseliy’s music lingers in the fragile space between presence and disappearance. Blurred melodies and glowing textures stretch like fog lifting over a quiet field, carrying the weight of lost moments and imagined futures. There is sorrow embedded in the sound, but also a persistent tenderness. Synths shimmer, static breathes, and everything feels close to dissolving. […]

The Young Mothers return! Six years after their second album, the powerhouse ensemble of Jawwaad Taylor, Jason Jackson, Stefan Gonzalez, Jonathan F. Horne, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, and Frank Rosaly light the fuse on Better If You Let It. Refusing easy classification, the album darts between jazz, hip-hop, punk, and everything in between with fearless energy. […]
Julien Demoulin’s A Trial of Distances forgoes conventional tonal palettes in favor of an expansive, immersive soundscape. Extended chord progressions stretch into the evening dusk, while melodies drift through melancholic passages. Demoulin’s use of brass—trumpet, trombone, and flugelhorn performed by Kelly O’Donahue—adds unexpected warmth, layering spectral interactions that invite deep reflection. It’s music where the […]
Günter Schlienz has spent the past decade crafting a vast catalog of exploratory music while also helming the excellent Cosmic Winnetou label. These two forces converge on his latest album, Novellen—an hour-long sonic odyssey brimming with electronic mazes, cryptic samples, minimal rhythms, and tape-mangled reverie. Ghostly melodies seep from the depths of an old organ, […]
Thomas Ragsdale continues to create sonic environments that I don’t want to leave. His latest is Two Way Mirrors’ Endure, out now on his Frosti label. As soon as I heard it (and wrote about it here), I knew I wanted Ragsdale to do something for Foxy Digitalis’s mix series. He did not disappoint. In […]
YAI is the duo of David Lackner and John Thayer. Fourth world dream motifs become immersive sonic universes on Sky Time. Surrealist jazz speculation melts into electronic sound worlds, building ephemeral shrines to the sun and portraits of the ether. This music is lush and expansive, finding inventive ways to wrap itself around us while […]
Centripetal Force has released a lot of music in the last few years that has become a mainstay in my headphones. From longtime favorites like Joseph Allred and Jeffrey Alexander to new names like Mohammad Mostafa Heydarian and Upupayāma. While the music is never predictable, label boss Mike Mannix has kept a connective thread tying […]
The new collaboration between Italian producer, Eraldo Bernocchi, and British composer, Christopher James Chaplin, is oddly hypnotic and, at times, unsettling. The Same and The Other is rich and varied, a haunted reverie across multiple parts. Dark atmospheres melt into muted rhythms that spell out secret messages within the cryptic undercurrents. It’s out now on […]
