Last apearing here in August, Holobeams & Broken Dreams (Iain Foxwell) is back with a new four track EP if IDM for free download. Ground Frost gives the EP a gentle, if slightly forgettable, start. Portal has a strangled strings feel to its IDM. Tokyo Distortions is a bit like early 80s make up artists Japan in its Eastern plinky plonkiness. Embers of Night is the darkest track with its slow humming bass and ominous sample. Easily the strongest track here. Blurb: Coming off the back of [...]
Glasgow based producer Iain Foxwell is Holobeams & Broken Machines and is definitely worth your attention. A stunning deput, easy to listen to and completely trippy. Synth galaxy sounds, a warm feeling and beautiful melodies. If you like Boards of Canada, Washed Out and M83, you will certainly like this. Listen and download for free!

This isn't music for dancing. This is pensive stuff. Four , which naturally is third on the EP, is a bit more upbeat, like a more positive dream but equally not a happy go lucky tune. I [...]

Сегодня я рад познакомить вас с новым именем. Проект «Holobeams & Broken Machines» - дело рук Iain Foxwell из Глазго, участника дуэта Ives и одного из организаторов серии вечеринок Tronic , фокусирующейся на развитии местной электронной сцены. На проект Holobeams больше всего повлияли шотландские товарищи и легенды электронной музыки Boards of Canada. Также, большое влияние идёт от чиллвейв сцены, от Washed Out и Neon Indian. Я обожаю этот летний [...]
