Dispatches from the Underground // March 2026 – Pt. 2

New Music

Ironic Hill – Verse / Six solipsistic songs created during a period when I was trying to break free from a series of depressive episodes that had virtually crippled me for the best part of eighteen months. Part two of two.

Swash – Powers of Ten (Hidden Bay Records)

Polypores – Wrigglers EP (Crackedankles)

NOYJ – Debatable Lands

Jamie Philpin-Jones – dronejournal: february / I’ve finally got the monthly mixtape ball rolling with dronejournal: february. Full of new music, field recordings and sonic miscellania. Pay what you want. – Jamie / Veins Full of Static

Peiriant – Plant / I’ve always had lots of time for gently experimental Welsh folk duo Peiriant and this is just gorgeous – Nic Brown

Period Music – S/T / this experimental Berlin collective’s menstruation-themed album is some of the best sound art I’ve heard this year – JPB

Ben Wendel – Barcode (Edition) / great new LP BarCoDe from Kneebody sax guy Ben Wendel on Edition. intricate webs of vibraphone & mallets, percolating & skronky but w/some smoky sad mellow moments & ambient introspection. like a perfect midpoint btwn Steve Reich, Harold Budd and Sam Gendel – C Money Burns

Score – Sunburst Body (Cruel Nature) / Score’s tenth album delivers sun-soaked, delay-drenched guitar meditations. Shimmering minimalism weaves into warm, euphonious waves, creating a hypnotic journey through a radiant, sunburst stratosphere

Slift – Fantasia (h/t Harry Sword)

VA – Just Cause Vol. 2 (Just Cause) – featuring Tashi Dorji, Mal Devisa, Giant Claw, Ben Seretan, Andrew Weathers and more (h/t Ned Raggett)

Listening Recommendations

Horse Lords – The Common Task / happy 6th birthday, awesome record – Ben Salmon

The Horse Loom – S/T (Low Point) (h/t Vogon Laundromat)

Escaping Agartha – Shifting Baseline Syndrome / The opposite of grind. Slow, dissonant, almost hypnotic. 70 minutes to allow it to snake through your mind, subtlety shifting along the way – Heathenistic Fool

Ilya S.
