Foxy Digitalis
“Untimely Flowering Season” unfolds in an elegiac soundworld, where drifting synth drones carry a weightless kind of melancholy. Kuma shapes each phrase with subtle tonal shifts, like light filtering through layers of sheer fabric, always changing, never quite landing. The found footage in the video casts everything in a suspended glow, giving the sense of […]
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 […]
Welcome to the first Capsule Garden of 2025. Year four of doing these (semi) regular columns and I wonder if it will go better than last year (these columns really dropped off the last quarter due to various outside commitments, but I hope to not drop the ball as much this year). As ever, there […]
Sunlight is refracted through a scratched prism in the effervescing stretches of Kuma’s “Her Own Private Constellation.” Crystalline timbres spread across the horizon line, blurring future visions with grayscale hallucinations.

Welcome to the final Capsule Garden of 2023! It’s hard to believe I’ve written 42 of these this year, but even though it’s a tremendous amount of work, it’s one of my favorite parts of Foxy Digitalis these days. It will certainly return in 2024. Next week will see our year-end coverage get published. Peter […]
In the moments we least expect it, but often at the times we need it most, the ether speaks back. Kuma’s latest for Frosti, We Have Dark Friends, was written and recorded in Spring 2022 when he was dealing with COVID-19. Thick sonic haze is sliced to shreds with searing guitar drones and lithe, atmospheric […]
As ever, the Daily is over on Patreon since it’s Wednesday (and it’s a pretty fun one today! Join us!), but there’s no dearth of great stuff on the main site today. As Zelda Friday fast approaches, Leaving Records is celebrating properly, and hopefully, I won’t disappear off the face of the Earth. Lastly, there are a […]
