New Music

Your Trip Is Short – Our Trip Is Short Vol. 9: In & Out of the Garden / The 9th annual weirdo Phish & Dead tribute album curated by HausMo Doug with artwork by Fad Albert / 2.5 hours of weirdo electronics, plunderphonics, VGM jazz fusion, and more traditional song oriented takes from the HausMo friend universe

Ulver – Neverland / Electronic Post-Rock / Ambient Pop / Synthwave from Oslo, Norway – Friedemann Lietz

droog – Oceanside / Can’t say that I’ve listened to droog before, but I’m seeing the tags “Jazz fusion”, “Djent” and “Post-Metal” on this, so I’m definitively interested! – florgoth

DOVS – Psychic Geography (Balmat) / I really enjoyed this gem of a synth album released on Balmat in January, but I only saw it on a couple of (extremely good) year-end lists – Listening Habit

Seventh Shadow of the Sun – Outer Gaze (Estavelle Records) / murky, dubby, jazzy dream states spread over a half hour of laid back bliss on this one – David James

Listening Recommendations

Ether Diver – Haunted Space Object No. 1: Alien Music Box / 30+ minutes of deep ambient, slowly evolving in microscopic ways, with a deeply weird vibe

Robert Dallas Gray – The Vallum

Nat Birchall – Liberated Sounds / I’m a big fan of Nat Birchall, love the way he slips from reggae & dub to various styles of jazz – David Soulscorch

Nicholas Burgess – Wintogreen

Ilya S.
