Zimoun’s latest for Room 40 is spectral and quietly disarming. Using a 100-year-old harmonium as his sole sound source, he conjures resonant whispers that feel unearthed from time itself—ageless, wordless incantations suspended in liminal breath. The instrument’s organic tone pulses with dark wonder, as if exhaling new life into our lungs. Harmonium I–VI carries the […]
Proteins of Magic returns with an animated ritual of ethereal drift and ageless force. Buoyant synths flutter in darkness like shadow wings brushing against neon pulses. A blackened whimsy rises in the clay figures—impossible to ignore, yet laced with the urge to look away. Kelly Sherrod’s voice remains the flaming heart of Proteins of Magic, […]
Milan-based percussionist Stefano Grasso and Post Moves’ Sam Wenc lose themselves in an extended moment on their new album, Omni. On “Ety,” the first glimpse, Wenc’s pedal steel bends inward, humming at the edge of collapse, while Grasso searches the ground for structural ghosts. The piece is a melodic shapeshifter, with hollow tones scattering around […]

“Diary” unfolds like a dream where crystalline synth patterns loop until the infinite void shimmers with gentle light. Jake Cassavetes crafts a quiet sense of motion, drawing us into a timeless ritual, as if we’re merging with something larger than ourselves. Melodies dissolve into airy harmonies, gliding on invisible waves and breathing in sync with […]
When the world is boiling and dark water rises, when everything feels like it’s breaking apart, that’s the moment Sutras steps in. Their music channels that chaotic, suffering spirit into pure sonic catharsis. “Bloom Watch,” the third single from their upcoming album The Crisis of Existence, is both visceral and immediate. Frederick Ashworth and Tristan […]
Contrasts are irrepressible exorcisms on Christina Giannone’s “Iridescent Dust” from her upcoming album, The Opal Amulet. Phantom melodies blur into opaque visages, reflections of slow-moving trauma infused with potent memories. Grinding oscillations are the ever-present sparks firing at a constant hum like bedrock being eviscerated in the name of progress. “Iridescent Dust” is haunted at […]
There’s a moment early in Crepuscular Elixirs where the music settles into a liminal space—somewhere between a wild, psychedelic dream and an immersive, uncanny reality. Sonically adventurous and multifaceted, it’s as playful as it is cryptic, embracing strangeness with open arms. Released via the ever-excellent Artetetra in celebration of their 10th anniversary, Grykë Pyje (the […]
For the briefest moment in the opening seconds of “Roll and Square,” from Rhins’ forthcoming The Burnout on Dragon’s Eye Recordings, all seems calm and well. But the fractures appear almost immediately, distorted, sub-bass growl ripping through empty space with hollowed-out melodies and hypnotic vocal expressions. The Scottish artist creates a sonic environment that is […]
