Nothing's like home. A place we can return to, whatever happened, whoever we are. A place that doesn't judge but listens. There should be a home for everyone. A refuge, somewhere. A quiet place to be tended like a garden.

Ümlaut - Liminal Space

Label: Driftworks (UK)

Genre, style: #ambient #drone #noise #lofi

Format: digital, CD

Bandcamp

Ümlaut often refers to his music as memory recordings, because in silence the music reveals itself through memory. Starting with no preconceived idea or structure, he works more as a seeker and explorer looking for what he can find. Being in nature, viewing abstract art and reading poetry often open a door.

Burning Books - Taller Than God

Label: Ingrown Records (USA)

Genre, style: #ambient #drone #noise #darkambient #lofi #postrock

Format: digital, cassette

Bandcamp

Recorded during the anxious and terrible pandemic years, Taller Than God is first and foremost, an ode to humanity. Harsh and beautiful, angry and sad, brimming with hope.

Mosaicist - The Fog Is Lifting

Label: Whitelabrecs (UK)

Genre, style: #ambient #drone #noise #neoclassical

A very soulful and melancholic autumn album that creates a cozy mood for a solitary pastime when it’s raining outside.

Jogging House - Kiosk

Label: Seil Records (Germany)

A stunning new work from the German artist, featuring his signature rhythmic analogue loops and intricate modular synths.

Jason Calhoun - Monarch

Genre, style: #ambient #drone #noise #lofi

Format: digital, cassette, CD

Bandcamp

Jason Calhoun is an artist living and working in Philadelphia. In addition to being a member of post-folk outfit Hour, Jason has issued a steady drip of patient, textured ambient releases over the years: first as Paper Armies, then Naps, and now under his own given name.

The Volume Settings Folder - Corporate Shamanism

Label: Whitelabrecs (UK)

Genre, style: #ambient #drone #lofi #neoclassical

Format: digital, CD

Bandcamp | Spotify

This provocatively titled album Corporate Shamanism is free from a strict concept, yet the album carries with it a strong sense of place and time; an impressionistic reflection of autumn and winter by the sea, filtered through nostalgia and calmness. Polaroid photographs from these colder seasons inform the mood, with the music evoking shifting coastal light, perishing temperatures and quiet transformation.
