David Edren, H. Takahashi - Flow

Shimmery ambient. This is exactly the kind of music I enjoy.

Release date: 2023-01-13

[8.3/10]

Pavel Milyakov - project mirrors

Majestic experimental techno. Buttechno never disappoints.

Release date: 2023-02-03

[8.3/10]

Young Fathers - Heavy Heavy

I’ve been following them since their first EP a while back, but I still haven’t figured out what kind of music they make… Hip-hop / R&B / neo-psychedelic / gospel maybe? Someone on RYM said it’s like This Heat does Animal Collective, which is actually quite on point.

Release date: 2023-02-03

[8.2/10]

Rian Treanor & Ocen James - Saccades

African traditional music meets experimental electronic music. This is probably my favorite among rian treanors discography, pretty awesome stuff.

Release date: 2023-01-20

[8.2/10]

Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You

Alternative country music. I love Adrianne Lenker but somehow Big Thief has always evaded me, or maybe it is the other way around.

Release date: 2022-02-11

[8.1/10]

Atom™ - Nacht

Sprawling, gnarly techno. Awesome stuff.

Release date: 2022-07-08

Harmonious Thelonious - Cheapo Sounds

Hypnotic rhythmic synth loop album. Dig this kind of stuff.

Release date: 2023-01-20

[8.0/10]

Mdou Moctar - Afrique Victime

Psychedelic Saharan rock. The album fully captures the energy present in their KEXP live show video.

Kelly Lee Owens - LP.8.2

Minimalistic electronic / pop.

Release date: 2023-02-10
