Dravier: Deep Thought Glacial River

Born from a recurring dream he made before putting the first touch to the tracks – involving “an expedition that leads into a glacier where an ancient ice metropolis lies”, ‘Deep Thought Glacial River’ casts its net far and wide; meshing bleached-out exotica with subdued prog folk tropes and teeming beds of organic noises to create a riveting sound fresco.

Belong: October Language

Twelve years after its original release, Belong’s debut ‘October Language’ gets it first vinyl pressing courtesy of John Elliot’s Spectrum Spools label. The reissue launches the record into a new context, shedding new light on both its predecessors and what came after.

December

Rafael Anton Irisarri: Sirimiri

Shrouded in melancholic vapours and forlorn harmonics, Irisarri’s new album for Umor Rex presents four majestic extended cuts as so many viewpoints on an untouched phantasmal valley. Drawing its name from the Basque word for ‘drizzle’ – which makes absolute sense given the fine-grained, caressingly fresh nature of its sound design, ‘Sirimiri’ offers sensations in their purest essence, primitively symbolic yet actively contemplative.

In Perspective: African Ghost Valley

African Ghost Valley are a bold and ambitious duo formed by Childe Grangier and Gabriel Ghebrezghi.

Ahead of the release of their new record on Natural Sciences we caught up the duo for an in-depth chat and premiere new track “North”.

Tom Hang: To Be Held In A Non-Position

Jimmy Asquith is best known for heading up the suite of Lobster Theremin labels, it’s distribution arm, and its fledgling London based record store. Just recently, he has started to make himself known as a producer in his own right, rolling out an EP and archive out-takes releases under the moniker Tom Hang. Now, following these initial exploratory expeditions, is his debut album ‘To Be Held In A Non-Position’.

J.C. & Kastil: No Spiritual Surrender

One thing’s sure, these two experienced individuals understand both the business and production facets of underground music and it clearly shows in all aspects of this new LP: the tracks span a multitude of genres, each of them made with a specific purpose in mind. A work of true professionals one would say.

Emra Grid: Shay’s Vacation House

Shay’s Vacation House isn’t always a pleasant stay, yet there is something compelling about it, like tonguing an ulcer to feel the rush of pain and withdrawing only to feel the throb beckoning you back for another prod.
