New week, new list of 'new' music to listen to.

Discovered Hunted Bedrooms by Jilk from 2024. A lovely collection of electronica with some found sound/collage touches.

One track appears to have a squash match for a rhythm track!

Friday recommendation is from British electronic royalty.

The Black Dog have remastered and rereleased their Fragments album (from 2020ish?), full of beautiful and haunting ambience and electronica.

Highly recommended.

Loving the new music this week.

Todays recommendation is Baghali by Jaan (who I think is from the Netherlands) - a nice mixture of some asian sounds with excellent electronica.

Todays recommendation is completely new to me, but have been around for a while.

Drøne - The Long Song is collection of static, found sound, tones and synths which make up a slightly unsettling and curious soundscape.

Recommended.

Todays new (to me) recommendation is an extraordinary journey from Maps - Welcome To The Tudor Gate.

This is heady stuff, billed as a long-lost horror soundtrack and features some pulsating and anthemic electronics.

I loved this!

New week, and a fresh list of new (to me) music to listen to.

Starting the week with an absolute BANGER from Means of Production and the album Joy. Electro-acid-kosmiche-spoken word - it's all in this belter!

Highly recommended

I don't know how to describe todays new music find.

Iconoclasts by Anna von Hausswolff is an epic, sweeping, gothic slice of electronica with stunning vocals - an collabs with Iggy Pop and Abul Mogard and others.

It's incredible.

Todays new (to me) music find is a cracker.

Goodness by feeo is a delicate blend of electronics and vocals with some eerie spoken word in the mix.

Fantastic stuff, and well worth a listen.

Back after some vacation to a massive list of New Music to listen to.

First recommendation is Rhythm Immortal by Carrier. A glitchy collection of synths and washes with some spoken word. Very Bladerunner.

Some fantastic new music released today - highlight for me is the second album from Headache & Vegyn - Thank you for almost everything.

Criminally overlooked, this is beautiful electronica with uncanny spoken word 'poetry'. Highly Recommended.

Straight off my New Music list is this superb slab of synthpop/postpunk from Nightbus - Passenger.

Dark, brooding and mysterious with a filmic edge that sounds drenched in the drizzle and sodium lights.

I bloody love it! #electronica

The last I heard of Mike Lindsay, he was doing interesting music with Anna B Savage.

This is a new EP, performed with Phillippe Cohen Solal of Gotan Project, and it is 100% worth your time. Beautifully, stuffed full of orchestral and chamber sounds.

A new name (to me) from my new music list.

Clarice Jensen is a cellist & composer and this album is full of gently throbbing electronics, and some other instruments.

Listen to the BEAUTIFUL 'Esthesis' where you get your streams.

Welcome to a new week of new music. Starting my listening off with this slightly odd album.

Archenfeld by U is a very British sounding slice of hauntology? avant-garde? experimental? I dunno, but I'm enjoying it.
