From Belgium, The Glimmers are one of my all time favorites. I haven't even listened to this mix and already know this is amazing. There isn't really nothing else to say about this topic. Enjoy...! Follow Golden Scissors on Facebook
Teebs unleashes a bouns remix on Shlohmo's new Vacation EP, which is out now on the Friends of Friends label. His reinterpretation of 'wen uuu', is something what you'd expect from the dude. Those pretty harp melodic gradations and loosely assembled dreamy compositions, its another one for the charts. The 12" is packed with remixes from not only Teebs but as well as Nicolas Jaar, Airhead, and label mates Salva and Groundislava. Purchase the EP over here . Shlohmo - wen uuu (Teebs Remix) [...]
The Maccabees go into its third album with a smoother sound, more atmosphere, and an overall glossier recording. WATCH THE REVIEW
Jacaszek - Dare-gale A more adroit form of expression for the reality of human misery isn't likely to be found outside of Eastern European classical music. The region's sonic visualizations present a world both striking and chaotic, all within precisely paced compositions. Polish electroacoustic musician, Michal Jacaszek , is a prime exemplar of such artistic inclinations. Jacaszek's all-consuming passion for producing music started as early as 2001 with recordings of modern electronic sounds alongside "singing poetry." He transformed his method throughout the years, and in 2009 Pentral was released, [...]
"It's their slowest record by far, the least immediate, the most beautiful and, by a country mile, their best.." If the saturation of indie in the mid-noughties brought a slew of white UK boys with guitars pedaling half-memorable tunes and painted on jeans then it also brought us the assumption that some of them, perhaps even the majority of them, would not still be going from strength to strength in the years to come. Here we are, at the beginning of 2012, and who can honestly say that they're chomping at the bit for [...]
(Adusted downward, slightly, for readability.) We established a rule this year: one track per album. No use in IAMX walking away with the whole thing. Remember what we all thought of James Cameron after the 1998 Academy Awards? The envelopes, please... 21. "Night After Night," by Laura Marling, from A Creature I Don't Know . 20. "Port of Call," by Beirut, from The Rip Tide . 19. "Hunter," by Heirs, from the Hunter 103: [...]
The accordion, ukulele and brass contingencies left us standing at the altar this year. Beirut disappointed . tUnE-YarDs served up a couple of nice appetizers . Her Name is Calla partially disbanded . And we're not even going to talk about Radiohead . There were some solid releases along our more traveled paths (read: Bon Iver , Laura Marling , and Feist ). Korn came very close to releasing a masterpiece , 18 years into their career. Ben Frost and Daniel Bjarnason scored with a rescore . And The [...]
Kasper Glanza Michael Jacaszek released his latest LP, Glimmer , on Ghostly International. I have never heard of more apropos name for an imprint. Back when Looping State of Mind came out, I drew a connection between that release on Jacaszek's magical mix for Resident Advisor. "Dare-Gale" is ambient brilliance. There is something medieval here. As the year winds down, this Polish elektronische musician offers a proper closing to a good year in music. Jacaszek - "Dare-Gale" [...]
Fear not. Christmas is coming: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Jacaszek's latest release is an eerily beautiful blend of classical instrumentation, indescribable noises, and interesting edits. Oh, yeah, there's some ambient influences in there, too. WATCH THE REVIEW
Coming out via Ghostly on December 6th, here's a stream of the new Jacaszek album, Glimmer . This album is simply gorgeous instrumental music that's perfect for the winter season. I'm planning on reviewing it, and I'm happy NPR Music is letting me get the jump on listening to it. Follow the link below for sonic pleasure. Stream: Jacaszek- Glimmer
Let's get the name-drop out of the way first: The Dying Seconds have already been the subject of some high praise from The National's Aaron Dressner, despite their relative infancy as a band. Tthis may be their second album but it's their first as an expanded six-piece line-up; the self-titled debut being the work of core duo David Cantan and Jack Quilligan. Glimmerers showcases a sound that retains their interest in evocative, low-key electronics but combines those aspects with a more widescreen dynamic and dramatic approach. It's maybe a little too easy to make [...]
Margaret, are you grieving Over Goldengrove unleaving? Leaves, like the things of man, you With your fresh thoughts care for, can you? -"Spring and Fall," (1880), by Gerard Manley Hopkins Gerard Manley Hopkins was a 19th century Jesuit priest, an innovative poet, the son of a writer. His poetry was largely overlooked during his lifetime, and rarely published. He invented the style known as "sprung rhythm," which he claims to have simply stumbled upon in folk songs. Indeed, upon entering the priesthood, Hopkins burned all of those works he had not already [...]
Go Cozy - Glimmer Without the distraction of what my excitement may try to mask, it's great to find something from where I call home. Out of the suburbia Silver Spring, MD just outside of DC they've produced a handful of free tracks that are worthy of sound tracking your next session of staring at your finest oxfords.
Available December 8, via Ghostly International . It defies language how close this album sits with me right now: musically, sonically, and psychologically. Maybe you'll hear the same? Embedded below is the second track "Dare-gale." Just peruse the comments section for a meta-review: "all i can do is just listen in silence." "Immaculate." "That lovely explosion."

We wrote about Justin Faust 's "Girl Talk" EP released on Discotexas back in July . Now the title track has been remixed by up and coming Leipzig duo PWNDTIAC , and Herr Faust is kind enough to give it away for free!

Nothing on Michael Jacaszek 's latest album, Glimmer , is exactly what it seems, and that's the whole point. Polish electro-acoustic sound sculptor Jacazsek has not only absorbed influences that range from ambient electronics to baroque classical music, he's even combined the tones and techniques of those genres, in a kind of sonic funhouse mirror that changes every time you shift position. On Glimmer , which is set for a December 6 release on the Ghostly International label, Jackaszek takes instruments like harpsichord and clarinet and mutates them into a shadowy, alternate musical universe. Listening [...]

Michal Jacaszek rilascerà il prossimo 6 dicembre l'album 'Glimmer', debuttando per la Ghostly International. Il musicista polacco electroambient sancirà la sua nuova collaborazione con l'etichetta americana descrivendo questi 40 minuti di mix tra musica classica ed elettronica: " Ho provato ancora una volta a creare una bellezza fragile e luminosa dietro l'apparenza della realtà ". Continua:" Ho costruito una specie di tenda di rumore e disturbi, ed usato il suono puro del clarinetto e clavicembalo per creare meravigliose melodie che contrastassero quella durezza ". Potete trovare la tracklist in calce alla news. Per farsi un'idea, sul soundcloud di Ghostly [...]
