“Sweet Texas Blue, Oh I adore you!”
At the outer edges of sound: Dead Voices On Air's Mothcomma pushes four decades of industrial decay and ambient abstraction into shadowed song structures and spectral atmospheres — cinematic, intimate, and alien in equal measure. The Darts' The Fabrics of Yarns conjures symphonic darkness from deep, unsparing places. Incentive's Pessimist blends industrial, IDM, and krautrock into a haunting narrative of awakening and escape, driven by Sia De La Paz's ethereal vocals. 97 Sound Signal's Refraction Choir sinks deep into aquatic ambient waters.
