Austin Rockman/The Surrealist — Seek No End (self-released) The Surrealist & Austin Rockman - Becoming Unaware Titles like “Decayer” and “Evaporate Everything” suggest that crepuscular claustrophobia will dominate the atmosphere of this collaboration between.....

“Funeral Music turns out to be an afternoon cocktail picnic of a record. Just enough to get you tipsy, not quite enough to have you reaching for the pills,” writes Andrew Forell. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7853444... @andrewforell.bsky.social

Rainy Miller’s Joseph, What Have You Done? Reviewed at Dusted

“An atmosphere of nowhere towns in dank post-industrial landscapes scarred by decay, cut through by motorways to elsewhere informs Lancashire born Rainy Miller’s new album,” writes Andrew Forell. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7839855... @andrewforell.bsky.social

“Amanda Mur draws on her homeland’s rich folkloric traditions, her classical training, interest in electronics and operatic vocal control to create music that feels both timeless and entirely modern,” writes Andrew Forell. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7834534... @andrewforell.bsky.social

Ben Shirken — H.D. Reliquary (29 Speedway) Photo by Hailey Heaton Ben Shirken - Image/Player New York sound artist Ben Shirken creates fractured scenes for a fragmented world. Repurposing material from his archive — the hard drive reliquary —....

“H.D. Reliquary is the aural equivalent of a Joseph Cornell box. Glimmering passages abut broken remnants and besmeared artefacts in a cabinet of psycho-geographical invocations and dream symbolism,” writes Andrew Forell. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7821850... @andrewforell.bsky.social

Lots of interesting stuff here. I covered recent LPs from Damian Anache, Hieroglyphic Being & Dustin Wong

Barker — Stochastic Drift (Smalltown Supersound) Photo by Easton West Barker - Reframing For a while, “stochastic terrorism” became a catchphrase used to explain the influence of an illiterate cumquat on his more sinister (or, pedantically,...

“ Within his template minimal techno, Barker adds billowing ambient passages and intricate drum programming,” writes Andrew Forell. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7809052... @andrewforell.bsky.social

“Kassian’s combination of Balearic beats, microhouse and plangent strings is a fine counterpoint to these intermittently dreary days,” writes Andrew Forell. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7802824... @andrewforell.bsky.social

Saffron Bloom — Saffron Bloom (Delicate) Saffron Bloom - Dirge of the Lonely After releasing a series of albums & EPs under his first name Iranian American producer Sepehr Alimagham adopts the alias Saffron Bloom for his new self-titled...

“If the original influence of trip-hop has been diluted by the echolalia of periodic revivals, soundtrack shortcuts and café friendly chillout compilations, in the right hands it can still be a potent brew,” writes Andrew Forell. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7782779... @andrewforell.bsky.social

“Kilbourne’s approach asks how far you can reduce club music to its atavistic essence without losing its function and appeal,” writes Andrew Forell. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7772964...

“Whether a metaphor for the persistence of creativity in the face of brutality or simply an oasis of calm in the eye of the storm, the music itself is lovely,” writes Andrew Forell. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7753033... @andrewforell.bsky.social
