Maiya Blaney – And

Maiya Blaney describes her second album A Room With A Door That Closes as “a love letter to her blue,” an emotional state that she defines as “a kinetic, intense, and dark energy that needs to be expressed as soon as it is felt.” The eleven songs on the album span radioactive kiss offs, sorrowful meditations on yearning, and gossamer reveries about self image, with the stand-out And moving through pitch-shifted drone, majestic strings and soft guitar over the course of its 6+ minutes.

Lucy Gooch – Night Window Part One

No Comments on Lucy Gooch – Night Window Part One

On her debut album Desert Window, Lucy Gooch stays true to her electronic foundations, while incorporating more acoustic instrumentation and digging deeper into her folk roots through songwriting. At the heart of Lucy’s music is her rapturous, at times operatic vocal, with which she bring to the fore more than with previous releases. The result is described as “an atmospheric balance between Kate Bush and Cocteau Twins harmonies” which is risky ground with which to invite comparison; the fact that I’m not mad about it shows just how good this album is.

Margaux Gazur – Agata

I was slightly obsessed with Smallville about 15 years ago, so it’s comforting to know that not much has changed in terms of the music they’re putting out in the intervening years. Margaux Gazur’s new LP Blurred Memories is dusty, low-key, slightly eeire, hypnotic house and I can’t get enough of its opening track.

No Comments on Not Marshall – UNKNOWN PRODIGY

Pretty sure I write a variation on this every time I post a Not Marshall track, but it is staggering they don’t get more attention. At time of write they have one (!) follower on Soundcloud and get 56 monthly listeners on Spotify. And I don’t think they even have a Bandcamp account. A ludicrous state of affairs. Their latest LP ELLIX is another masterclass in icy ambient and drone, even swerving into more trancey textures a la 36 and Lee Gamble. Should be massive, never will be 😦

Smerz – But i do

Slickly detached bedroom pop and electronic excursions from Norwegian outfit Smerz, taken from their new album Big city life. But i do has an almost Massive Attack-esque swagger about it, but with a touch of humour in both the vocals and synth work replacing 3D and Daddy G’s dour delivery.

Another stone-cold banger from the princes of modern trance. How these megababes haven’t been booked for Glastonbury is beyond me.

No Comments on The Vernon Spring – Known

This is taken from Under a Familiar Sun, the new album from The Vernon Spring and the solo project of British composer and producer Sam Beste. Over twelve elegant songs, Beste’s beautiful, expansive compositions centre around a graceful and deliberate approach to piano, accented by vocal collaborations, spoken word, and a gently compelling mix of electronic and acoustic instrumentation.

Rainy Miller – Then Casts Shadows, From Afar (A6 – Pendleton).

No Comments on Rainy Miller – Then Casts Shadows, From Afar (A6 – Pendleton).

Rainy Miller’s Joseph, What Have You Done? is a stark, atmospheric dive into fractured memories and Northern Gothic landscapes. Rooted in Lancashire’s grit, Miller blurs grime, ambient, and spoken word with raw, confessional storytelling while voice notes and field recordings trace threads of trauma, estrangement, and resilience. It’s by turns sad, bleak, furious and nihilistic, but never less than completely engaging.

No Comments on Kara-Lis Coverdale – Offload Flip

I’m really enjoying Kara-Lis Coverdale’s new album From Where You Came, although starting your bio with the line “Kara-Lis Coverdale creates music that transcends reality” is a bit much tbh. It’s a minor gripe when the music is this engaging though, especially Offload Flip which has just the right amount of low end wallop to perfectly offset all the dreamy, spectral synths.
