Asusu: Serra EP

Asusu proves himself well beyond the bound of the Livity Sound Trio, a singular producer who seems to care as deeply about the tiny blips as he does the storming kicks.

Jake Chudnow: Shona EP

A solid start, both for Bloc and for Chudnow, but here’s hoping that future releases will see the warmth and energy that define ‘Shona’ matched by an equal interest in staking fresh territory.

AFX: User48736353001

Kone-R offers his view on User48736353001’s uploads to Soundcloud, in what could be considered the most unexpected turn of events in UK electronic music history.

Torn Hawk: Let’s Cry And Do Pushups At The Same Time

Using a technique he calls video mulch Wyatt blends found footage with cuts from popular films and scenes recorded by the artist himself. You could always sense an ironic approach in Wyatt’s visuals but his LP feels on the contrary – candid and emotional.

Eric Truffaz & Murcof: Being Human Being

Like Bilal’s paintings and drawings, the elegiac and mournful overtones of this record finds its influence and informants in the unsettling aspects of our own historical moment. And like Bilal’s art, it shapes these influences into something that speaks back to them, making for a very human response that is almost impossible not to connect with.

Air Texture Volume IV

Kompakt’s ambient focused offshoot hits the magic spot with its forth offering. BNJMN and Steve Hauschildt prove to be inspired curators for this two CD extravaganza.

Grouper: Ruins

Liz Harris has crafted a piece of art that asks for full engagement. It’s all about intimacy and confession.

Clark: Clark

Clark’s new album reflects the Zeitgeist of our time, making Clark a stand-out record of 2014, not his best to date, but definitely a slow-burner.

Neel: Phobos

Phobos is best consumed in one take – working far more effectively as a totality listen with each track flowing effortlessly into the next, creating more a whole movement than set of separate pieces.
