Gunn – Truscinski Duo – Flam (h/t Nick J)

Autumna – The Stasi Café (Frosti) / It’s a beautiful album of somber ambient moods underpinned with evolving field recordings from all kinds of wonderful locations… – Sulk Rooms

Listening Recommendations

Sulk Rooms – Ceremony / Decaying Spheres present another incredibly-crafted EP, this one from Yorkshire-based artist Sulk Rooms. Inspired by the concept of secretive cults and societies, Ceremony initiates the listener into a dark underworld through the blending of rough textures and euphoric movements tinged with a sad but sinister edge.

cinchel – A Sad Study in Temporal Dissonance

Battles – Dross Glop (h/t Flyin’ The Flannel)

Lungfish – 10 East / new minimalist invocations of totality by vintage prayer mongers – words

Loon Town – Slow Space / RIYL: Songs that make you feel good – ‪Wurmpth Furdber‬

Nahawa Doumbia – Kanawa (Awesome Tapes From Africa) / My current Malian earworm – ‪David Soulscorch

SAINT PEPSI – EMPIRE BUILDING / one of the finest classic vaporwave releases / “silhouettes” to “teenlove” is just other level – uɐɥʇƎ
