Galcher Lustwerk – Wristbands (Lustwerk Music, 2018) – suggested by Floorcore
Banished Pills – Failure (Shimmering Moods, 2018) – I am the one who pulls myself from the nothingness to which I aspire”.
— Jean-Paul Sartre, “Nausea” (suggested by Vru Patel)
Xander Harris – Where’s Your Villain (Burning Witches, 2018)
Le Fruit Vert – Ephémérides (Los Discos Enfantasme, 2013 / Them There, 2018) – Organ swells interact with angular tones and propulsive pulses throughout, as the duo cast intricate, vocal-led narratives that develop into a unique form of unearthly baroque-pop experimentalism.
Small Life Form – Something Organic to Serve the Machine (Silber Records, 2013) – has been pretty inspirational to my aggressive ambient work. I probably should’ve told him because you should let people know when you appreciate them. Anyway here’s a piece inspired by “I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream.”
Ilya S.
