ambient / post rock

Northern Constellation is an album released on August 2, by Polish post rock group Fading Tapes. Sixty four minutes long, the record has only three very extensive tracks: North Pole, which lasts ten minutes and a half, Leo Minor, the longest, which is more than half an hour, it lasts thirty two minutes and fifteen seconds exactly, and the last, Northern Constellation, the title track, that lasts twenty one minutes and thirty five seconds. The record has a proverbial density, and although requires a certain amount of patience from the listener, the album definitely is worthwhile listening. Very peaceful, quiet and introspective – working the ordeals of a subtle, allegorical and serene atmosphere –, the harmonies dive through an exponential and sensible existential quasi-minimalism. Nevertheless, it is absolutely required for the audience to have greater passion for the genre, as the risk of monotony do exist, especially on the course of the longest track.  

The album works brilliantly as ambient or background music. On it, the musical textures are emphasized, and the stability of the harmonies become a major mainstay. Nevertheless, the rhythm of the melodies – and its inherent structure – never change. The ethereal and vague surreal commonalities of the music fades away slowly, although there is a lucid beauty subtlety diluted at the pervasive pellicle of its expansive universe of solemn and somnolent serenity. 

The lethargic nature of Northern Constellation has a rudeness that overcomes the axial system of its own sensibility. Despite the rigid stability that testifies little to no variations, the music has a subjective ordeal that highlights the ostensible paralysis of its analytic conglomeration of soundscapes. The work definitely has its incontestable merits, and the group has a very distinct and singular style. But its unchangeable nature makes it somewhat difficult to fully appreciate the album with energetic enthusiasm, although the band definitely achieves the objectives of its musical proposal, and you can’t say they are really excellent on the execution of their placid and fugacious form of artistry.

With an ephemeral, surreal and serene atmosphere that characterizes the music, and becomes its central qualities, Northern Constellation is an interesting and rather peculiar album. While you cannot expect anything marvelous nor extraordinary, the work definitely is a decent exemplar on the genres of post rock and ambient music, as you definitely have an intricate set of qualities, that can lead you through a solitary, peaceful and humane sonorous journey.

Hymn of a Voyage Wander is an album released on August 4, by American musician Damien Duque, under the alias of City of Dawn. Almost fifty-three minutes long, the record has eight tracks: Abditory, The Quiet Explosion, My Spirit Dances with your ghost, As Petals turns to Ashes, Capturing the pattern of your silence, Saudade, I See you for the last time... and Slowly Dancing Away.... With very calm, serene and transcendental harmonies, the music of City of Dawn is simple, driven by a peaceful, sentimental and resigned melancholy, that achieves at the diagram of its sonorous resilience a slow and robust, but embracing fatuity, upon which its sensibilities discreetly collide with its own expansive atmosphere of everlasting oblivion. 

A very interesting ambient musical work, whose thin pellicle of sound hides a profound continuous transcendence, the methodic, intrinsic and quasi-minimalist nature of the work is noteworthy. Nevertheless, given the fact that the album has little melodic variations, its placid and lethargic uniformity gives to its gracious density almost a frozen anatomy, a sonorous paralysis where an ephemeral dimension of dreams cast shadows over the real world, in an interchangeable sensibility of surreal atmospheres, where everything is placed underneath a fog of introspective grace.     

While the sonorous atmosphere is intelligently elaborated and profoundly  consistent, the work  suffers from a certain degree of predictability. Despite its serene and poetic tone, the album resents itself from lack of audacity and innovation, and eventually falls into a generic mainstay, which is somewhat inherent to the genre. 

Evidently, there is a lucid and cautious degree of creativity here. The musical style is solid and cohesive, and – following the structural pattern of the genres in question – the artist stay loyal to its sonorous proposal, that nevertheless is genuine, although, as the album progresses, it’s hard not to feel sleepy, as the work do possess somnolent, calm and quiet elements, that relaxes the soul, and cease all the restlessness of the spirit. Maybe, this is the greatest triumph of Hymn of a Voyage Wander, although the album do exhibit a level of technical and methodic proficiency that highlights its undisputable virtues and qualities.

post rock / drone / post metal

Ever since the first days of Merchants Of Air, I have been fascinated by one man projects and their often surprising output. Not only noise and ambient artists but also musicians in the fields of post rock, black metal, classical music and doom. There are heaps of talented people out there and most of them rarely get the attention they deserve.
So when I saw this album by Polish project Noche Oscura in my mailbox, I immediately became interested. The project, formed by Wojciech Szachowski also seems to roam in the post-rock/metal regions. Besides, the artwork by Michał Szymański is pretty stunning too, so I just had to check this one out.

It was coined as a post rock, post metal album but the first tones seemed to pour directly out the noise scene. Opener 'End' is strange, something between noise, guitar drones and post rock. I'm not sure if it is an intro but it is a quite unique tune. There is a drummer, Mateusz Mazur, but his work seems to be rather limited. The post-scene is far away but somehow that doesn't matter. Besides, the true beauty of Noche Oscura still has to bloom.

And that happens on 'Suspension', a song that contains violins by Katarzyna Gronowska and seems to be inspired by many of today's drone-ambient acts (Syndrome, Thisquietarmy, N) but also by Mike Oldfield. What? Well, much like Oldfield, Noche Oscura doesn't limit itself to elaborate droning ambient tunes. Here, the artists tried to tell stories, mainly with the narrative sound of the guitars. It's different, it's nice and it's certainly interesting.

My personal favorite here is 'Before', an ambient drone tune that also borrows elements from the music of Amenra or Neurosis but also the dark folk of Barn Owl and the post rock of God Is An Astronaut. Mind you, all still without the drums, making me wonder how massive this track would sound with a full live band. That must be bloody impressive, if you ask me. Same goes for closer 'Gate', an impending track, nudging to the doom scene.

Although coined as something for fans of Sunn O))), Amenra, Ulver and Neuroris, I'd probably place this album in my ambient/dark folk collection. That is not a bad thing, on the very contrary. I enjoyed every second of this album, even the confusing chaos of the opener. I'm just afraid that this artist limits himself a bit too much. If he forms a full blown band with this material, they'll be on big ass stages in no time, but for now, let's all enjoy these sounds in the quiet comforts of our own homes...

While Europe is being crushed by an unseen heatwave people are basically migrating to places with massive bodies of water. Like thousands of other people, I spent yesterday at the Belgian coast, enjoying the cool seabreeze and the fresh sand. The beach was crowded with people. Children  were building sand castles, couples were rubbing one another with sunscreen yet most people just laid down and sunbathed the day away. Inland, temperatures are scorching and here too, people jump in pools, ponds, streams and rivers. Right now, I can clearly imagine myself on a rubber boat, far away from all those people, listening to this new album by North Atlantic Drift.

Canadian duo North Atlantic Drift somehow manages to cool down my eardrums with their friendly waves of minimal ambient. Inspired by acts like Stars Of The Lid and Boards Of Canada, Mike Abercrombie & Brad Deschamps deliver soothing soundscapes, not too dark and far from obtrusive. The music resembles the calm tides of the water, hence perhaps the rubber boat reference in the previous paragraph. 'Empty' and 'Carousel' drive on gentle electronic loops, somewhat rhythmic but without any form of percussion. For minimalists, this album certainly comes close to ambient perfection.

Most of the tracks on this album remind me of my early adventures in ambient music, the time when I got acquainted with the music of Laraaji, Brian Eno, Philip Glass, Eluvium and Biosphere. It's no wonder then that this album fits perfectly well between these. And it's probably no wonder that I will recommend this beautiful release to all of you, not only the ambient fans but also the people who need to lay down, relax and feel comfortable once in a while. With highlights like 'Formation' and 'Mountain Spectre', 'Departures Vol. 2' is an excellent safe haven in a stressful world.

post punk / new wave / goth rock

Heading from Bristol, Naut decided to ignore all current trends and to look back to the dark eighties. Now, this five-piece comes with a baffling debut EP, containing five pitch black goth rock tunes. Influences from bands like Sisters Of Mercy and Killing Joke run rampant and come with the overwhelming energy of post punk acts like The Jesus and Mary Chain. Song like opener 'Disintegration' and 'I'm Here' are destined to fill dark dancefloors everywhere. My personal favorite here is closer 'XVI'. It makes me curious and hungry for more, but for now I'm sure that this EP will be an excellent addition to every post punk / goth rock collection. 

doom / sludge

Sheffield doom mongers Kurokuma return with a two track EP, based on the Dope Rider strip from High Times in the 70s. The artwork comes from Paul Kirchner, the creator of the strip. The music is another slab of severe psychotic sludge doom, five and eight minutes long. Part 1 also showcases something industrial, reflected by repetitive, almost methodical drums. Part 2 simply continues to slow but brutal pummeling. Fans of bands like Conan, Dopethrone and Yob can easily trust Kurokuma to deliver the monolithic riffs and fierce vocals they crave so much. So if you want your sludge metal as destructive as a wrecking ball, this EP should do.

Several months after the release of 'Serrated', Dutch heavy rockers An Evening With Knives unleash three songs that did not make the album because of the limited space on the vinyl. Yet, these songs were to important for the band to be ignored. Opener and title track 'Fade Out' deals with the death of Marco’s father due to Alzheimer disease. It's a long, heavy and cathartic lamentation, showcasing the darkest side of this band. The other two songs follow that example, be it a bit shorter. They all walk a similar path as the songs on 'Serrated', and thus would also fit perfectly into every sludge, doom and grunge collection. These guys are growing steadily, that's for sure.

electronic / ambient / experimental

An alienating two track EP that will leave you confused and entangled, that is what Soho Rezanejad delivers. Subtle electronics, minimalist drones, gloomy soundscapes and her vocals come together in two lengthy modern day folk songs. I can't help but think about a mix between Zola Jesus and Diamanda Galas, be it a bit less creepy than the latter. Yet, there is emotion, there is fear, mourning, wonder and hope in these two tracks. There is a mystifying atmosphere, one that borrows elements from dark ambient. Yet, above all perhaps, this is a unique piece of work, reminding me of an act like Dark Ensemble. Recommended only for eternally wandering souls.

post rock / post metal / stoner / sludge

In today's post rock scene, new bands pop up like mushrooms. Würzburg residents The Man Within are one of those newcomers. Mostly, that first effort comes with a low production and a careful introduction in what the band really is capable of. Yet, here that results in a full-blown post metal album with seven outstanding tracks. Most of them, including 'Mount Santo', my favorite 'Institution' (that rolling bass is hot!!!) and the massive 'Limitless' can easily entertain audiences far and wide. Although firmly rooted in the post-scene, elements from sludge metal, psychedelic rock and stoner rock are never far away. A great introduction, now let's hope they can confirm this in the near future.

dark ambient

The new brainchild of Nachtzeit, the man behind ambient dark metal project Lustre, comes up with an interesting dark ambient album. Although playful at time, this album takes us back to the mysterious  and dark age of the Norse gods. Early in 'Drömmarna' acts like Mortiis (on Cold Meat Industry) and Wongraven come to mind. Synths, soundscapes and dreamy melodies guide the listening on a musical tour of medieval Europe, so it seems, highlighting in 'Löftet' and 'Tårarn'. Strangely, the title track 'Hädanfärden' has an X-Files OST feeling about it, which isn't bad, on the contrary. Fans of old school medieval dark ambient can easily appreciate this album.

alternative rock / hard rock / grunge

Belgian hard rock duo Breakfast At Midnight proves that two is enough to create heaps of noise. On this debut EP they blast seven tracks through our speakers, beginning with the heavy rocking 'Kidi Coke'. From then on, the rock doesn't seem to stop. Inspired by anything between Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age and Stone Temple Pilots, these two feed an everlasting fire. Most tracks drive on sheer energy but in 'What I'm To Say' and in '1813', the band delves deeply into the Pearl Jam version of grunge rock. Here, the vocals are excellent and clean while the other tunes contain heaps of aggressive screams. Not that I mind, this is pure rock 'n roll: raw, rough and heavy.

black metal / death metal

Grab onto something now because Ukrainian trio Goatsperm is about to unload a hellish, chaotic and vulgar EP, loaded with orthodox black/death metal. 'Voice In The Womb' contains three tracks, each one being a pummeling piece of extreme metal, as dark as Satan's butthole but with an ambient breather here and there. Somehow, this trio manages to combine atmospheric passages with sheer metallic terror, something that might indeed make a lot of banging heads turn their way in the near future.  Besides, 'Into The Deep Waters Of Catacombs' is one of the fiercest black metal tunes I've heard this year. If you're a self-respecting extremist, you need this.

krautrock / shoegaze / punk

What would have happened if Ramones used My Bloody Valentine's guitar effects? What would a punk rock cover album of Neu! songs sound like? Well, Finnish six piece Teksti-TV 666 might have a decent answer for you. 'Aidattu Tulevaisuus' delivers six high-octane krautrock tunes with the raw energy of punk and the immersive nature of shoegaze. I admit, it is something different from the usual slabs of rock 'n roll that appear here but 'Turbo-Mondeo' and 'Aidattu tulevaisuus' can easily get your behind shaking. My favorite here is the somewhat slower 'Rauhankone', which might be described as a down-to-earth space rock track. Recommended? Hell yeah!

ambient / electronic / experimental

Hailing from Porto, Vitor Joaquim is a sound sculptor and visual artist, active around the strange borders between soothing ambient and otherworldly noise. This new album, 'Impermanence' contains seven tracks, revolving around repetitive soundscapes, almost subconscious loops and immersive musical textures. Here and there vocals samples have been added to increase the narrative nature of the music. That, along with the minimal soundscapes, makes the title track my favorite here but I'm sure that every fan of decent ambient music can appreciate these sounds. Obviously, this comes highly recommended.

ambient / drone / experimental / noise

bandcamp

An even more noisy and experimental variation on ambient sounds comes from Han, a project by Vitor Joaquim and Emidio Buchinho. This album revolves around live improvisation and real time processing, which results in something severely unusual and highly experimental. Yet, behind the gritty freestyle on the guitar, beautiful ambient loops lurk. These seven tracks are weird, immersive in one way, yet restrained and peculiar. Somehow this album feels like the early days of drone experimentation, when artists were exploring the other possibilities of their instruments. In all, this is an interesting release to dive into, but only for experienced avant gardists...

drone / ambient / score

I start this review looking to the past, at a time when ballets and operas were extremely famous and had a fantastic acceptance by the general audience. Today, these two words seem to create a kind of instantaneous "move away", mainly from the youth and most needy people.

​To be honest, I didn't look for ballets and operas until I had contact with "The Rite of Spring", "Parade" and "La Serva Padrona" (the last one was in a super cool and funny version that was played in all the state where I live). It's too bad that many years of non necessary elitism have gentrified this places where the union of theater, dance and music serve performances that don't fit the pop standards. In a kind of gradual substitution, they have moved to a central role in global scale pop concerts to catch people's attention.

However, the not-only-profit art is gradually approaching a larger and more comprehensive audience! And the coolest thing about this: it's happening in a very natural way (at least in most of them). This is the case of "Seeker," an album that was made from a score commissioned by Iván Pérez to Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek) and Aaron Martin for his dance piece called 'Hide And Seek' (we can see an excerpt in the video below). Aaron recorded instrumental sounds and Machinefabriek worked on these recordings by processing, editing and adding new sounds to them. A very cozy musical aesthetic! No maximalist music, no Bartók pizzicato and no extreme techniques to frighten the new listener. Here we have music serving the choreography and vice versa, a communion of artists who know how to make art and not only feed their egos.

In the end, we have a fantastic composition for a dance show! From the big original score (included as a bonus track in the digital version), the rework in separate tracks created this great album! Another initiative by a group of artists that has generated another excellent work, distilled over time until the version that appears in 'Seeker'. Listen to the music, watch the video and, if you can, go to shows like this one in your city. After all, there is no art and there is no music without you, the audience!

Back in January I published a review for '7' by American ambient act Interface Type Seven (read). Back then it was winter. The streets and parks were covered with a thin layer of snow. I wrote "This is a perfect album for these cold winter evenings" and I mentioned a burning fireplace.

Today a heatwave is crushing Europe. A huge part of the continent now IS a burning fireplace. The sun is blistering. It hasn't rained in days, weeks even. So I was wondering if another dose of IT7 ambient would cool me off. In short: it didn't, but that doesn't say anything about the quality of this new album. 

As per usual, Interface Type Seven explores the regions of "slowism", somewhere between ambient, classical music, downtempo electronics and post rock. This time, the focus seems to lay on dramatic piano, nicely illustrated by opener 'Imminent'. Carefully, IT7 steps into the footsteps of Olafur Arnalds. The Boards Of Canada references from his previous album slowly disappear as title track 'Nonlinear' takes the piano towards something more playful. 

Yet, not to worry, fans of lingering drones and meandering soundscapes have plenty to look forward to. 'Aberrations' delivers those goodies in an immersive manner. 'Silence' attempts something similar, but on a church organ, so it seems. 'Fault' then drags us into the dark and mysterious shamanistic drones of ritual dark ambient. Talking about a varied album. The latter is probably my favorite track here, and comes highly recommended for droners of all ages.

So it seems that the album gradually descends into darkness. 'Labyrinthine' might sound like a friendly and somewhat rhythmic ambient tune at first but there is something impending, something useasy about it. In the end, the music nudges towards dungeon synth before 'Static' pushes the listener into ever droning quicksand. Perhaps it is cool enough down there. Nonetheless, 'Nonlinear' definitely is a varied and vivacious follow up to '7', one which comes highly recommended.

ambient / post rock / black metal / doom

You might be thinking, "what a strange title for an atmospheric metal album". 'Apples' is indeed not an everyday title but it does cover the load quite well, especially if you know what lies behind it. It was an apple that made Isaac Newton discover his laws of gravity. That Isaac Newton, along with his fellow scientists Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley are being tributed here. Yes, this album is a tribute to science, but not your everyday Western science, the one that merely analizes. This album is dedicated to the spiritual aspect of science, where scholars investigate the natural world to come closer to a god, not to further distance themselves from one.

You can read all about that in the accompanying text on bandcamp. For now, let's dive into the music because that is as unusual as it is interesting. Nagaarum is an Hungarian one-man project, for this album aided by Betty V. on female vocals and Roland Szabó who does the narrations. The music is an eclectic mix of ambient, metal, post rock and noise. The latter makes up the majority of the opening track, 'Middle Ages', reminding me of acts like Gjöll or Genocide Organ. Nagaarum quite often descends into the power noise pit but for the most part he seems to be rooted in the metal scene.

'Isaac' comes up with the guitars, drums and everything else that nudges the sound towards the doom metal scene. The cold, harsh atmosphere of black metal is present as well, but mostly without the screeching vocals. Those first appear in 'Prism', a strange blackened noise rock tune that seems to be influenced by Vinterriket and The Melvins alike. 'Robert' might be one of the most black metal related tracks here, fast, relentless and driving on piercing riffs. This chaotic tune brings back memories of those old 'World Domination' compilation series by Osmose Records, but again in a headstrong and unusual manner.

Then there are the gloomy ambient passages, eerie field recordings and meandering soundscapes like 'Hermit'. These don't just function as intros or intermezzos. They complete the overall concept. 'Nullius in Verba' seamlessly follows with a deep drone and a funeral doom atmosphere before melodic doom metal once again takes over in 'Edmond'. Needless to say perhaps, but this album comes with heaps of variation. It also comes with enough atypical elements to drag this album into the avant-garde corners of the metal scene. Negură Bunget came to mind a few times, which I guess is not a bad reference.

In all, this surely is an interesting album. Fans of ambient black metal can easily trust this one to satisfy but I'm not sure who else to recommend this to. I'm not sure if die-hard black metal fans, or even doomers, will be happy with the synth passages like the militaristic 'Revelations'. But perhaps those people should give this album a chance too. It's not a perfect extreme metal record but it definitely is a unique and compelling addition to your collection. So check it out, you'd be pleasantly surprised more than a few times.

Monday morning, one of the hottest days of the year. I have been cursing the sun and planning to go live in a cool cave somewhere. Hot summer days are nice, but not when they last for weeks without rain, wind or any temperature drop. For now, my living room is fine but in a few hours it will turn into a greenhouse, practically unbearable to sit in. So I guess I'll do my review work now and spend my evening in a summer bar nearby. There, I actually wouldn't be surprised to hear pieces of this album flowing through the speakers. This is perhaps one of the most modern sounding albums I have reviewed in the past few years, even Lords Of Acid sound old compared to this.

Band of Orson's Machines is a side project for Urs Wild, who we know for his impending dark ambient sounds. This album contains no less than sixteen songs, all between three and a bit over six minutes long. Here, the focus is on electronics, beats and thick bass melodies. Furthermore there are vocals samples and dreamyu ambient passages, together creating a soundtrack for a dystopian, futuristic movie.

Musically, Band of Orson's Machines delves into the same pool as acts like Burial, Sumach, Bonobo and so on. The music drives on these lengthy and deep basses while the rest of the music adds a bit of variation to the whole thing. That being said, the album isn't very varied but I don't think that is to be expected from this genre. The main elements and set-up for most of the songs is similar but that doesn't seem to harm the overall quality.

I does make it tough to pick out a favorite track. 'Playground' perhaps, with the sounds of children playing and yelling. Or opener 'Monument' which immediately sets the gloomy and immersive tone. Or maybe 'Moths' which covers the searing hot sun with ice cold darkness. In fact, I'm quite sure that all these tracks soon end up in my day-to-day playlist, along with other downtempo acts like Autechre, Boards Of Canada and Kode9. I suggest you do the same for this is an interesting marriage between modern day electronics and vintage ambient sounds.

There is something amazing going on in Belgium and I'm not even talking about the performances of our national football team. I'm talking about music, ambient music to be specific. Of course, this country has always delivered high quality music, in many styles and genres. In the ambient scene, our bedroom producers have been extremely active since the invention of the bedroom, which has resulted in a breathtaking amount of breathtaking releases.

Yet, in recent years, they have been stepping out of their bedrooms and into the open. They started meeting each other in real life, at concerts and festivals. They had lovely conversations about music and eventually the cooperative nature of Belgians gained the high ground, resulting in even more breathtaking music. Now that our chieftain Dirk Serries is exploring the jazz scene, people like Stratosphere, Ashtoreth and this Distant Fires Burning are stepping into his footsteps. Today, the Antwerp Ambient scene, so to speak, is loaded with co-operations and new bands. Hell, even I have a place in there. My own project, Misantronics, has clearly gained some respect and adoration. 

I have not named these artists by coincidence. This album by bass-ambient producer Distant Fires Burning (Gert De Meester) is backed by that mutual respect. Ashtoreth channeled 'Any', Misantronics freestyled the danceable 'I Would Move' and Stratosphere put his teeth in two other tracks. The four remixes provide a neat overview of what this cooperative nature is capable of and thus promises great things for the near future. More about that later, for now let's just dig into the droning beauty that 'For The Love Of...' has become.

The album opens with 'K&J', a slowly meandering drone-ambient tune in the vein of most of your favorite minimalists. Lasting over nine minutes, this track is a splendid opener, slowly luring the listener in. It's almost an i-dose tune, one that could cause some nice hallucinations. But then, Gert showcases his love for other sounds. It is not a coincidence that I chose 'I Would Move' for a remix. This is one of the funkiest ambient tunes ever composed and I had to use that slapping bass in a dance tune. 'Any' then nudges towards ritual ambient, complete with singing bowl.

'Mountain' is a cheerful piece of string-plucking music, Tortoise without rhythm section perhaps.  'And More' flirts with the entire dark jazz scene but in the end evolves something more funky again. Right before the remixes begin, 'Each Day' gently purls towards the end of the regular record. For me, this is a classic ambient tune, one for fans of everything between Eno and Helios and perhaps far beyond those two too. So, up until now, you already have an excellent, varied and immersive ambient album, already massively recommended.

'K&J (Stratosphere Cave Mix)' takes the mysterious sound of the album's opener and adds some layers of gloom. This is what I was talking about in the opening paragraph. This cooperation is brilliant, currently one of my all-time favorite tracks within this genre. Soon after, you'll hear Ashtoreth's typical shamanistic voice as he kicks off his enigmatic version of 'Any'. This is another fantastic cooperation by two artists who can complement one another. 'I Would Move (Misantronics Remix)' is definitely the most danceable tune here, beats and all.  In the end, the Stratosphere plus remix of 'Mountain' is friendly enough to wave goodnight and welcome you back again soon.

Well, this has been an interesting adventure, one that apparently resulted in a quite long review. As I always say, great music works inspiring and that surely is the case on 'For The Love Of...'. I could end by saying that there will indeed by nice things coming forward from this, but that's because, just like on this album, I will be a part of those nice things. For now, all that matters is finding people to recommend this album to, which is a piece of cake. Ambient fans, bass guitars lovers, droners around the world: you want this thing, believe me...
