This release comes from the Xian Liam label in China and is described as a mixtape. It features a pleasantly drone-laden and hazy sound.
Selective Hearing – Cobwebs
Mahorka Records has delivered a hazy, surrealistic piece of music that might not fit neatly into the ambient genre. However, the vibe allows listeners to immerse themselves in a soothing, repetitive groove that’s easy to get lost in. Kudos to Selective Hearing for producing this gem!
IXΘΥΣ – Bordello Borneo
Although this is labeled as witch-house, my friend IXΘΥΣ has released an album that I find incredibly enjoyable. It reminds me of late 1980s Electronic Body Music. While I’m not much of a dancer anymore, this music had me moving for a while. Well done!

Two great ambient/electronic artists, Cousin Silas and Pete Swinton, collaborate on an album that resembles a lo-fi yet elegant tribute to Tangerine Dream. Gentle and somewhat sci-fi in feel, this album is a delightful listen.

This is true headphone music, and since it was released by the esteemed Italian record label ROHS!, Continue Reading

Following up her breakthrough 2022 album ¡Ay!, A Danger to Ourselves unravels like a deeply personal conversation; Dalt’s voice is foregrounded and formidable, supported by a lush array of Continue Reading
