Aerial M - Aerial M
Classic math rock / slowcore album. What’s most impressive is that they’re able to create moods just by experimenting with arrangements and interspersing different chords. Awesome stuff.
Release date: 1997-10-14
[9.2/10]
Nobukazu Takemura - Child and Magic
Magnificent Japanese experimental music. It is new-age, it is post-classical, it is muffled drum & bass, it is noisy techno, it is… very hard to say what this is. A hidden gem that deserves much more recognition.
Release date: 1997-12-15
[9.0/10]
Nueen - Circular Sequence
Minimalistic electronica. I like this a lot, whoever that likes Ulla would love this too.
Release date: 2021-09-01
[8.6/10]
Piotr Kurek - World Speaks
Chamber music / minimal modern classical. Unsettling and thoroughly awesome.
Release date: 2022-01-31
[8.5/10]
Múm - Yesterday Was Dramatic - Today Is OK
Indietronica. I’ve always imagined them to be a post-rock band that sounds extremely similar to Sigur Ros, but this is actually a lot more interesting than that. This one even got some drum & bass beats.
Release date: 2005-10-04

Cities Aviv - Man Plays The Horn
I like this just as much as I like his last year’s album, The Crashing Sound of How It Goes.
Release date: 2022-02-04
[8.4/10]
Celeste - Assassine(s)
This is probably my favorite release of theirs. I’ve always felt their stuff is a bit one dimensional, but this one incorporates more screamo elements, which I dig.
Release date: 2022-01-28

Bloodmoney Perez, Messiah Musik - Second Hand Accounts
Dope conscious rap.
Release date: 2022-01-28
[8.3/10]
Francesco Cavaliere - Xylomania
Abstract modern composition / ambient. Tingling sounds, listened through it a bunch of times before finally deciding that I am digging this quite a bit.
Release date: 2018-05-10
[8.2/10]
Cikada - Lamplighter
Sludgy doom metal. Knew about them when scrolling through IG and saw Thou’s post about Imperial Triumphant’s show in New Orleans. This slays.
Release date: 2019-10-31
[8.2/10]
yeule - Glitch Princess
Post-apocalyptic pop. Way better than Poppy, way better than GFOTY, way better than those two combined.
Release date: 2022-02-04
[8.1/10]
Debit - The Long Count
Man this is some weird stuff. Mayan music instruments? What?
Release date: 2022-02-18
[8.1/10]
Mark Lanegan - Blues Funeral
Bluesy indie rock. RIP Mark Lanegan.
Release date: 2012-02-06
[8.1/10]
Eiko Ishibashi - Drive My Car OST
Jazz / new-age. This soundtrack is better than the actual movie by a long shot.
Release date: 2021-08-18
[8.0/10]
James Rushford - Lake from the Louvers
Ambient / field recording. Haunting soudnscape.
Release date: 2021-05-14
[7.8/10]
Orphx, Kareem - As Your Skies Are Fading Away
Industrial techno. Kareem’s Zones of Significance was one of my favorite albums from 2021. This one is more techno and less ambient / experimental than that one.
Release date: 2022-02-11
[7.8/10]
Comets On Fire - Field Recordings from the Sun
Lo-fi stoner metal. I’ve always remembered them as a psych rock band that leans on the less heavier side of the spectrum, but this one is as hard hitting as it gets.
Release date: 2002-06-15
[7.7/10]
Berk Icli - Glimpses of an Eternal Bloom
Ethereal, melodic modern classical / chamber music. Lots of fun.
Release date: 2021-10-15
[7.7/10]
Simon Farintosh - Aphex Twin for Guitar
Fun little EP for Aphex Twin covers. I thought Avril 14th was a cover of Kanye’s Blame Game though, did he really sample Aphex Twin on that one?
Release date: 2021-01-29
[7.5/10]
宇多田光 - BADモード
Alright J-pop. Dig the A.G. Cook feature, dislike the Skrillex feature.
Release date: 2022-01-19
[7.5/10]
Emma Ruth Rundle - Some Heavy Ocean
I didn’t know she’s in Red Sparrowes, and I never really paid attention to Marriage, but maybe I should… I like the song Run Forever a lot, but overall these songs gets a bit tiring after a while.
Release date: 2014-05-20
[7.4/10]
Earthless - Night Parade of One Hundred Demons
I like the track Death To The Red Sun, but others have too much Japanese scale runs in them, and it sounds kind of silly…
Release date: 2022-01-28
[7.4/10]
DJ Python - Club Sentimientos Vol. 2
This is much tamer than his 2020 masterpiece, Mas Amable.
Release date: 2022-01-21
[7.3/10]
Undo K From Hot - G.A.S. Get A Star
Erractic industrial experimental rock. A bit too much for me.
Release date: 2021-05-07
[7.2/10]
問題總部 It’s Your Fault - BLUE LEAK / 水體
Not as cool nor as memorable as their last album. With all the flash gone it’s just a pretty standard nu jazz record.
Release date: 2022-02-23
[6.8/10]
Shinichi Atobe - Love of Plastic
This feels a lot weaker than the more minimalist albums from before. Never really a big fan of balearic house…
Release date: 2022-01-21
[6.7/10]
tricot - 上出来
Never a big fan of them… it’s got chops but it really isn’t that good.
Release date: 2021-12-15
[6.4/10]
Converge, Chelsea Wolfe - Bloodmoon: I
- I am never really that fond of Chelsea Wolfe.
- Sounds like Converge is going into dad rock territory…
Release date: 2021-11-19
