In celebration of Good Friday, we present Stephen Briggs and his dark, brooding ambient masterpiece that gives an unpleasant image of The Lord starting this Paschal period through His death. The music sets the tone quite well. From his Bandcamp site: “Good Friday was also inspired by the spirit that Continue Reading

Alessandra Celletti – Stop Femicides
Femicide, like most other –cides, is a pernicious evil, and women suffer atrociously in parts of the world, but despite the provocative title, this album is more of a celebration of some rather amazing songs influenced by ladies, interpreted by our dear friend Alessandra Celletti. Some of the covers were Continue Reading
William Ryan Fritch – Adhesion
Being under the annoying grip of having to use a VPN has been an irritant living in the city of my employment. Being in Japan led to a horrible surprise in that I have been missing some stunning releases. Thankfully, I have a chance to amend this, so I start Continue Reading
picnic – picnic
I am going to assume that picnic hails from Australia, as this is where their record label, Dais Art, is based. The album has a cinematic, drone-laden feel, but rather than being foreboding, it’s a very warm-sounding album. Imagine music to swim in warm waters to. Quite pleasant!
VLMV – Flora & Fauna
VLMV comes from Great Britain, where he (they?) was, like everyone during these days, heavily affected by the cursed lockdown. This album, ethereal to its core, is the soundtrack to his coming back out to the world.

These compositions belong to the same creative period as the works included in her Continue Reading
Scanner & Nurse with Wound – Contrary Motion
It looks so strange to see these two names paired up together for the first time, yet it feels weird that they had never collaborated before (to my knowledge). Neither project should need an introduction as both Robin Rimbaud (Scanner) and Steven Stapleton (Nurse With Wound) have nearly four decades Continue Reading
MadMen Duo – Through the Night
Our dear friends at Mahorka Records continue to surprise and delight us. Their latest release features two musicians, the MadMen Duo (I don’t know where they are from, but they did record these tracks in Bulgaria if I understand correctly) whose music comes off as a wonderfully dark combination of Continue Reading
Trajectories – Quiet on Kökar
Trajectories is a troupe from Quebec who produce electroacoustic music. From their Bandcamp site: “The album Quiet on Kökar was conceived of during a recent artist residency undertaken on the small island of Kökar in the Åland Archipelago in Finland, experimenting with a variety of recording set-ups and collaborative compositional Continue Reading
