Ambient
Introduced by an organic ambiance, a kind of reverberating arena of accordion-like waves and vocal-choir fragments – Rob Power’s EP The Lost Mine proves a boldly distinct and enchanting listen; one that’s both impressively original, and atmospherically inviting.
Ambient old-school vibes and poetically conscious raps – a delicacy and depth united across three unignorably distinct originals. Stori Brooks creates a whole new mood and direction, with the brand new EP songs for you.
The music rightfully feels like a relaxing theatrical ode to a story or physical presentation, a perfectly captured image of exactly what inspired the title, and that self-awareness and consistency helps the natural dynamic and playful evolution of Jester (two pianos) connect and engage with its audience, right the way through.
Celebrating the unrivalled gift of outright creative confidence and freedom, this collaborative new double vinyl album release Sleep Of Reason brings together the talents of Mark Springer (Rip, Rig and Panic), Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys), and the Sacconi Quartet.
Something to listen to at volume, largely for its blissful fusion of intricate detail and soulful expression. An ambient, ethereal journey, blending spiritual warmth and trip hop across an evocative realm of lyrical guidance and meandering sounds. Isaac Garza’s music is a dream and a pleasure to stumble into, and Revolt marks a sublime introduction for those new to his work.
Stunning instrumental guitar music, aptly designed to create an immersive space for listeners – an impressively rooted one, but focused on that ambient connection above anything purely self-indulgent.
Impressively mysterious production meets boldly conscious rap bars and a smooth, whispered RnB hook. kasperisreal carves out a completely original lane, with the likes of his provocative and dreamy to intriguing single wake up/4:33am.
Inspired by their self-penned initiative of ‘Harmonizing Hearts, Elevating Souls’, Lynn and Jimmy Wolling create from a shared passion for songwriting and musicianship that stirs up deeply rooted emotions. The duo travel annually to India, to expand upon their classical instrumental abilities – the tabla and the sitar – and these experiences have played a huge role in shaping the sound of their act Strings of the Heart.
Self-penned as electronic instrumental music, the idea with Inverted was to capture a harmonic area / modal mood in contrast with its inner movement, ‘achieved through using inversions of the chordal structure’. This stylistic approach could then artistically represent the emotional state of an individual with a multi-layered humanity about their daily experience – something relatable but ultimately very personal.
Featuring unique production akin to the atmospheric trip hop of simpler times, Lucky Star follows a single to multi-layered vocal delicacy, through a near-falsetto progressive melody, as we fall further into the embrace of this other-worldly concept and mood.
Music-making racoon Trash Panda collaborates with long-time friend Andrew, to deliver an aptly-titled album of original compositions that quickly sets listeners off on an immersive and dreamy journey.
