I continue to find new things about Maryam Kiani’s album, Embrace, that move me and increase the album’s depth and emotion. It’s such an incredible debut. This mix from Kiani may not add direct context to Embrace, but it’s another example of how her approach to things and her ear for sounds and transitions is exceptional. There’s […]
I am smitten with Karen Vogt’s new album, Le Mans. As I’ve long been a fan of her work, I was shocked when I listened to this for the first time. Her music is so often ethereal and weightless, built on layers of various instrumentation and, of course, her voice (Losing the Sea is a beautiful example). […]
There’s a lot of great stuff on the site today from Mariam Kiani, Karen Vogt, and Lau Nau so be sure to check it out. And a lot of great stuff on Patreon this week as well, including a bonus podcast. After all that, I spend a lot of time talking about Sim City 2000 […]

This new collaborative project with producer Yotam Avni combines the best elements from each artist’s work into something engaging and fresh. “In 2021, I reached out to experimental techno artist Yotam Avni to ask if he would […]
Karen Vogt always knows how to weave a bit of magic with her voice and “I Know It’s Hard” is no exception. On her song for Past Inside the Present’s Healing Together compilation curated by Cynthia Bernard (marine eyes), Vogt channels an empathetic spirit into the contemplative lament. Stretching frequencies into the sky, she hovers elegantly through […]

I didn’t really think about it at the time I started this feature, but this is a nice little(ish) shopping list for all your Bandcamp Friday needs (or maybe The Jewel Garen is – ha!).

In life, there’s a moment before a redemptive arc begins. It’s not exactly the calm before the storm, though it’s similar. It’s the line drawn between the before and the after; a knife-edge that we usually don’t notice until it’s gone, but a place where, if things went differently, would cut us to shreds. “Above […]
