Lovesliescrushing – ‘Blemished Sunspot’
‘Ghost Colored Halo’, the new release from ambient/noise vets Lovesliescrushing was recorded in one take with no overdubs. Impressive! The duo (Scott Cortez and Melissa Arpin-Duimstra) earlier announced via Facebook that this “sister ep” would be the precursor to a new album. ‘Ghost Colored Halo’ will be available from Projekt records on May 21. Lovesliescrushing – ‘Blemished [...]

A Place Of Owls – 'The Oceanic Tomes'
Look at the artwork! Now press play. Its a perfect mix of watery atmospherics, submerged tones and otherworldly soundscapes. The aptly titled album ‘The Oceanic Tomes‘ is available now from Minneapolis studio project, A Place of Owls. Influenced by the work of Brian Eno and Rosetta, this is for fans of drone, post rock and abstract [...]

Helios – ‘Nothing It Can’
As far as free albums go, Helios‘ ‘Moiety’ is a no brainer (download here - donate if you can)! ‘Nothing It Can’ is a stunning ambient piece, largely instrumental with vocals as an instrument rather than a voice. Its a visceral listen with cinematic scope. Helios began more than a decade ago when composer Keith Kenniff started recording his electronic [...]

Glass Vaults – 'Gold Star'
I was blown away by Glass Vaults debut EP when it made its way online last June. They sounded like seasoned pros from the very beginning. Glass Vaults may appeal to Sigur Ros fans but are far more ambient and in my opinion, reach emotional peaks without overstating themselves. Tomorrow indie label JUKBOXR will release [...]

Solkyri – ‘Strangers’
Here’s a post rock band that hasn’t opted for a four paragraph song title – respect! These guys hail from Sydney’s west and have released their debut EP ‘No House’ via Bandcamp. If you like it progressive and ambient, its well worth a listen. Plus their drummer is incredible (both live and on record). Click [...]
