Leyland Kirby - The Death Of Rave (A partial flashback)
Unsettling ambient tracks sampled from rave tracks. Read an article from Fact that says this album was a dig at the rave scene , and was conceptualized when he went to a famous Berlin club… wild. That last track is very brutal.
Release date: 2016-01-15
[8.5/10]
Richie Culver - I was born by the sea
Experimental ambient. At first I wasn’t paying attention to the spoken word parts, and then I did, and then I realized how dope this thing is. Boomkat’s recommendation article on this album is also a pretty good read.
Release date: 2022-11-11
[8.4/10]
Asian Glow, Weatherday - Weatherglow
No idea Weatherday had an EP this year… Really good indie rock. The production quality went up a lot on this one.
Release date: 2022-03-17
[8.4/10]
Ginger Root - Misemono
Jazzy bedroom pop funk / city-pop. The chord progressions on this EP is mind blowing.
Release date: 2022-09-09
[8.2/10]
Pole - Tempus
Slippery ambient dub techno with piano. I enjoy this.
Release date: 2022-11-23

Galya Bisengalieva - Aralkum Aralas
Slick experimental electronic music. It’s got Moor Mother, Jlin, Actress, Coby Sey on it… pretty wild stuff.
Release date: 2021-10-15

Loke Rahbek, Frederik Valetin - Together
This is way more club-friendly, way more carefree than Elephant. They made this album as a reimagined soundtrack to Chris Marker’s documentary.
Release date: 2022-10-14

Christinaa Vantzou - No. 5
Modern composition. Felt very personal.
Release date: 2022-11-11

Cakes da Killa - Svengali
House-rap is definitely something I didn’t know I’d dig before I heard it. Also the queer theme is still quite prevalent on this one, which is always pretty cool to see.
Release date: 2022-10-28
[7.8/10]
Ashenspire - Hostile Architecture
Avant-garde metal. I like the more straight up metal tracks more than the more classical-influenced ones.
Release date: 2022-07-15
[7.7/10]
Franck Vigroux - Magnetoscope
Dystopian drum & bass / techno. Infectious sound.
Release date: 2022-11-25
[7.5/10]
Dungen - En Är För Mycket och Tusen Aldrig Nog
Psych-pop. It still sounds pretty good, but just feels way too restrained and not all that interesting to me. I dig the track Var Har Du Varit? though.
Release date: 2022-10-07
[7.2/10]
Curd Duca - Waves 3
This one feels more random than the previous ones. Like a pretty good sample pack, but hard to figure out the overall theme.
Release date: 2022-04-18
[6.9/10]
Roman Flügel - Balmy Evening
IDM / minimal house. I enjoy the ambient tracks bu not so much the more upbeat techno tracks.
Release date: 2022-10-14
[6.8/10]
TLF Trio - Sweet Harmony
Chamber music / jazz-noir / modern classical.
Release date: 2022-07-14
[6.8/10]
The Umlauts - Another Fact
Club influenced post-punk / synth pop. This wouldn’t feel out of place if this is in the Cyberpunk anime series.
Release date: 2022-10-14
[6.7/10]
Floating Points - Someone Close
This one feels more club-friendly than the other ones from his discography…
Release date: 2022-11-09
[6.5/10]
SZA - SOS
Pop rap. The only song that I really like on this album is definitely Kill Bill. The rest are more miss than hit for me.
Release date: 2022-12-09
[6.5/10]
Plaid - Feorm Falorx
I was expecting a lot more than this… IDM that feels like some video game’s bland OST. It is not horrible, but just kind of half-hearted.
Release date: 2022-11-11
[6.0/10]
Precipitation - Glass Horizon
Ambient house. Quite unmemorable…
Release date: 2022-07-29
