Jay Cliffen & Music Within - Granules (Echoes Blue)

Feedback hasn't sounded as good as this for quite some time. Homing in on the sedater end of the electromagnetic spectrum Cliffen & Music Within somehow give this machine generated noise a spa suitable quality & by fusing it with some gentle minimal piano have forged an ambient gem.

Toni Dimitrov & Carlo Giustini - Centauro (Chitra)

Vertical Divider

The Sci-fi synth sounds of the brighter future promised by the 20th century authors mixes with the ancient sounds of nature & choice, abstract field recordings, as a herd of bell wearing mountain goats take a shortcut home from their green pastures through Dimitrov & Giustini's studio, in this fine slice of back to the future ambientalismo.
Find them residing in the Slowtronic Playlist.

Raays - Equiinox (Leaving)

Nice to hear Raays back on the streaming airwaves with a further taste of his forthcoming LP. It's another slice of shapeless, meandering electronica that layer by layer smooths away it's shriller start to form a smoother, fast flowing ambient current that effortlessly sweeps you further down life's river.
Find him sitting pretty in the Slowtronic Playlist

John Swanke - Soundings in Fathoms (Self Release)

Vertical Divider

You may remember Swanke's straighter folk Nooksack LP getting a hearty TSMM recommendation at the start of 2022. Well his latest ode to the green, & inevitably grey, landscape of the Pacific NW (the second TSMM tip in recent times to be inspired by the area) merges mellower folk & more mind altering lysergic waves to fine, undulating sonic effect.
Find one of the mellower cuts in the Slow Balearic Playlist
