Foxy Digitalis
Altar Eagle (the duo of my wife, Eden Hemming, and myself) has been a bit quiet for the better part of the past decade, but we’re still here and slowly working on a new album (well, talking about one at least). In the meantime, check out our last one, Nightrunners (and check tha amazing Radek […]
Jordan Reyes won’t stop. His new Threshing Spirit album, The Crucible, comes out on Friday, October 29th, and is one hell of a trip. When we were doing the interview that ran a few weeks ago, I also asked if he’d make a black metal mix. My knowledge of black metal is still pretty hollow, but […]
To kick off the week before Halloween, one of our favorite new artists, Taranoya, gets in with a mix of melancholic ghostly vibes. It’s a rollercoaster that’ll rip hearts out on the one hand and go positively astral on the other. I highly recommend listening while reading the Foxy Digitalis interview with her for the […]
I’m having an Alex Cunningham renaissance at the moment. Between the alien zones he and Mark Shippy explore on Ghost Note to the full-on macromeditations of As Slow as the Stream. Cunningham’s approach to the violin is so singular and striking that I started wondering where it all comes from. There are so many moments on these recent […]
Nick Zanca’s Cacerolazo continues to get near-daily rotations here, new sounds and ideas revealing themselves each time. It’s such an immersive listening experience for me and is an album that might seem challenging at first, but is so listenable once it sets in. Nick put together this stellar mix-ish. In his own words: “It’s less of a […]
For Jamie Stewart’s HEXA mixtape, Exhibition Copy, he digs deep. Like the new HEXA album, his collaboration with Lawrence English, there’s a surprising thread that runs through the whole of this mix. Of course, the HEXA album, Material Interstices, is a heady subterranean drifter and while there’s some deep bass and snarling electronics peppered throughout […]
There’s something about Derek Gedalecia’s Headboggle project that always keeps me guessing and slightly confused. It’s one of the many reasons I am consistently smitten with his work. Beyond the interesting sonic pathways he explores, there’s a certain humor to his tunes that engages in ways that a lot of similar music fails to do. […]
Home Learning is the duo of Tom Schmidlin (of pagination) and Edmund Osterman (of Screener). Their latest album, wireframed, is a drifting slab of permeable melancholy housed in an ultraviolet freefall. It’s music that glows under the right light, haunting in its graceful movements and severed from the planes of time. Schmidlin and Osterman assembled this […]
Collaborative mix from a collaborative project! Requiem (Doug Kallmeyer and Tristan Welch) have joined forces again with cellist Simon McCorry for a beautiful new album, Joy; Division, on Woodford Halse. Their music is haunting with Requiem’s emotive drone works buoyed by McCrory’s skillful cello magic. Joy; Division cradles the darkness. Pre-order the album, which releases […]
