From Attila Gyárfás’ Bandcamp site: “TABBIS is an hommage to Mihály Babits, one of the most influential Hungarian poets of the first half of the 20th century. We chose nine of his poems that resonated with us the most and we used them as sources of inspiration while recording the Continue Reading
E.N.D. – Null
Null is the debut release from E.N.D., who I will assume is from Brazil, particularly Porto Alegre, as the project is associated with my dear friends at M I S T, one of a myriad of boutique record labels specializing in experimental, dark ambient, drone and post-industrial music.

Chalupáři – Jak Se Do Lesa Volá, Tak Se z Lesa Ozývá
A huge thanks to my dear brother, Hubert Heathertoes, for introducing me to this gem from Chalupáři, the Czech outfit that delivers something truly special. It’s noisy, yes—but in the most immersive, profoundly atmospheric way. This is an excellent test record for your speakers, yet if you give it time, Continue Reading

I stumbled across Ian Hawgood’s work some months ago, and I ended up quite enjoying it, mainly because of the soft, gentle, natural droning sounds he comes up with. It’s best to read about his methodology below. From his Bandcamp site: “During the first lockdown here in the UK, I Continue Reading
Internal Fusion – Conte de la pensée dernière
Our dear friends at Mahorka Records bestow us a fine album of frighteningly good electroacoustic music, brutal in its tenor. From the label’s Bandcamp site: “Eric Latteux aka Internal Fusion is a dark ambient artist, born in 1964, based in Britany (France). He has been active since the early ’90s Continue Reading
Saba Alizadeh – Rituals Of The Last Dawn
Being an insomniac has some advantages. As is normal for me, I stayed wide awake until 4 a.m. listening to music. While doing so, I came across an album by kamancheh maestro Saba Alizadeh which was so eerily beautiful that I had to suggest it for your perusal. The avant-garde Continue Reading
Lia Bosch – Ever Expanding
Lia Bosch, as I understand it, is a sound composer from Italy who has made an album that feels like the soundtrack to my mind these days. It’s quite a dark listening experience, mixing drones, a sort of 1950s B-movie soundtrack vibe, and post-industrial menace. Quite powerful listening, if a Continue Reading
