On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, I basically talk about myself. I published the big year-end article on the site yesterday, so if you missed it – go check it out! This episode, though, is a recap of the things I was up to with my own work this year, including new albums, […]
Well, we made it. Sort of. I mean, it’s not like this arbitrary changing of the year is going to change, well, anything, but it still feels like we’ve crawled over some kind of finish line. As I say just about every year, what an incredible year of music. This list will be incomplete every […]
Celer molds the sound of water into an immersive sonic environment on “Superannuated Blinks of a Otherwise Forgotten Pond,” the first spell from his upcoming album, Cursory Asperses. Submerged textures give way to a liminal resonance, drawing us closer to the sound’s inner source. Celer’s music is shapeshifting. Glowing chord progressions feel like they’re breathing as […]
Dual, sharp melodies move at diverging angles as guitarists Liam Keenan and David Grubbs cut out messages in the clay Earth. Ephemeral growls stitch together sonic constellations with subtle screams and textural drones, an ever-shifting palette that pulls us closer to the core of this music with each passage. A world of steel-eyed contrasts emerges […]
Fluid dreams take on tactile timbres on Hand to Earth’s gorgeous “Mokuy.” The quintet of Daniel Wilfred, David Wilfred, Aviva Endean, Sunny Kim, and Peter Knight sculpt vibrations from the ether into gently soaring soundscapes, riding woodwind waves beyond the horizon, buoying spiraling, utterly captivating vocal melodies. “Mokuy” pulls dancing patterns from the air and […]
Panghalina is the trio of Maria Moles, Bonnie Stewart, and Helen Svoboda, and on “Glass Lake,” immateriality finds solidity. Svoboda and Stewart’s swirling vocal waves swim around one another, leading us down an aqueous, amorphous pathway lined in glowing specters. A wash of synth textures rises through the undercurrents, their shapes moving in slow motion […]
An echo grows in the distance, between sharp piano shards, shifting synth timbres, and dampened vocal patterns. Natalie Beridze’s music always creates visceral connections, and while the cadence of “Who Dwells In Possibility” is obscured by a fogged lens, it still maps the endless sonic expanses that are never quite contained. Lilting phrasings move from […]

Lost in a quiet downpour, JWPaton’s “Aunty” moves through countless spaces like a stealth razor, leaving small sonic traces while collecting remnants of echoes along the way. Landscapes sound in the margins of “Aunty,” culled forms shaped by technological tools, as though these expressions are lost reverberations from a different time. Melodic loops flicker, moving […]
