Words about electronic & experimental music
SINCE 2010
Andy Stott: It Should Be Us (Modern Love)
Andy Stott’s first new material in over 3 years came and went late last year without me noticing, which is both a sad commentary on how detached from new music I’ve been in the last year and how...
Thomas Köner: Motus (Mille Plateaux)
Another new Köner release showed up as quietly as is the music itself, a faint undertone to an unsettling year. Motus incorporates more of an undercurrent...
Atom™ <3 (Raster)
Uwe Schmidt’s latest as Atom™ (perhaps best previously known as Atom Heart or Señor Coconut, though he’s the brain behind over 70 other projects!) is described by him as “Hard Code Pop.” What does...
AHRKH: Beams From a Spiritual Panorama (Golden Ratio Frequencies)
This solo effort from Gnod member A P Macarte, originally released on cassette on Golden Ratio Frequencies but thankfully also available digitally on their Bandcamp page, explores the notion of...
Clarice Jensen: For This From That Will Be Filled (Miasmah)
This four-tracker from cellist Clarice Jensen is a lush but stark meditation. The opening cut has all of the glacial glide of Stars of the Lid, but it feels starker, more haunting. Perhaps this is...
Eli Keszler: Stadium (Shelter Press)
It’s that time of the year again, when I finally have more time on my hands to both listen to music as well as some time to read about and listen to some of the myriad fine releases that so many...
Free download: Pete Ellison’s remix of Microfilm’s “Boomboxx (I Love to Listen To)”

Djrum: Portrait With Firewood (R&S Records)
While I’d heard some tracks here and there from UK producer Felix Manuel, I was completely unprepared for just how good this album is. Portrait With Firewood...
Yann Novak: The Future Is a Forward Escape Into the Past (Touch)
Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist Yann Novak recorded this work of characteristically droning minimalism as his second release for esteemed UK label...
Skee Mask: Compro (Ilian Tapes)
What a pleasant surprise this album has been for me. While I’d heard some of Skee Mask’s EPs over the last few years and enjoyed them, I’d no idea he would translate his various cross-genre...
Everyday Loneliness: “N.W.” (Omissions: Reconsidered Elements 2007-11, Monorail Trespassing 2012)
What gorgeous, woozy drones from this act I’m only just now discovering! (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Answer Code Request: Gens (Ostgut Ton)
Patrick Gräser has released a new album as Answer Code Request on esteemed Berlin label Ostgut Ton, arriving four years after his full-length debut for the imprint, Code. It’s been in heavy rotation...
Pascal Savy: Dislocations (Experimedia)
French drone auteur Pascal Savy, now based in London, has crafted a minor masterpiece in Dislocations. Along with a recent release from Matthias Urban, Dislocations marks a return to pressing...
To Rococo Rot: “Pro Model” (Instrument, City Slang 2014)
I’ve been digging this one, having missed it a few years back. Especially liking the little acid touches to this extended groove. (Source:...
Shuttle358: Field (12k)
Dan Abrams’ Shuttle358 project was one of the first things I heard on 12k, way back in 2000 when his second album Frame was released by the fledgling label. It was a brave new world at the time, a...
