First and foremost, I'd like to say thank you to this band for sending me their physical album all the way from Denmark. Though it doesn't really play into how I grade their music, it's nice to know that a band values our opinion enough to send a CD to Is This Revolutionary? headquarters. Drone labels themselves as a Danish progressive pop-rock band, but hailing from Hamburg, Germany. They list their sources of inspiration as "King Crimson, Nine Inch Nails, Porcupine Tree, Tool, Nirvana and the early Genesis", which is a eclectic mix, to say the least. The vocals are [...]
mmpsuf is a Lithuanian electronic music duo someone turned me on to via the TND Facebook page . I breathe a sigh of relief every morning I wake up and see we're still allowed to share music with one another on the Internet. Back on topic: The duo has a new EP out on SoundCloud , and this specific track, "God's Retina," has some sweet vocals singing a somewhat painful melody. The foundation of looped, vocal coos make for a pretty chilling atmosphere. The beat behind it all is pretty subtle, too. The sound of [...]
When it comes to talent, there are few artists who have the ability to succeed in so many different fields as Konx-om-Pax . We have videos for the likes of Hudson Mohawke , Mogwai and King Midas Sound . Artwork for Martyn , Lone and Rustie as well as remixes and visuals for Optimo and his own self released music on his Display Copy imprint. On top of all this he also has an album forthcoming for the mighty Planet Mu . [...]
Den første kladde til dette indlæg startede jeg i august 2011. Jeg vil så gerne kunne udtrykke med ord hvad Nils Frahm s musik gør ved mig. Jeg har bare aldrig har følt, at min beskrivelse og rosende ord var dækkende nok eller ydede tonerne den retfærdighed, de fortjener. Men nu efter mere end et halvt år, er det på tide at gøre dig opmærksom på hans eksistens her på Musik Mig Blidt. Så må musikken tale for sig selv, når mine ord ikke kan slå til. Men der er også en mere presserende grund til dette blogindlæg. [...]
Concessionaires - Gazelocked ( Under the Spire ) Atmospheric soundscapes from Concessionaires (Pete Fosco and Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis) on UK's Under the Spire label.
Siinai – "Victory" Although it has been available in their home country since last summer, the debut album from Finnish krautrock revivalists Siinai, Olympic Games , is set to see a stateside re-release on the 21st of this month through Splendour Records . Judging by their band name, the album's title, art, and track names ("Marathon", "Finish Line", "Mt. Olympos"), the band appears to be paying homage to the ancient Olympic spirit in it's purest form, and as [...]
High Aura'd - "Dusk Latitudes" Thanks to the brilliant curating and diligent tape-ripping being done over at The Radiant Now (quite simply one the best blogs I've come across in ages), I spent a solid chunk of my winter vacation combing through the discography of Stunned Records , a consistently game-changing tape label which unfortunately shuttered its doors early last Fall. Stunned produced some fairly impressive alums over the course of its three-year run, and [...]
Kevin Greenspon – "X.A. Assembly" Blog bud/ Bridgetown Records founder Kevin Greenspon has done something characteristically awesome and made his 65-minute, limited release-collecting Paradise A.D. compilation available to the public as a digital freebie . Back in June I posted the positively chilly "City Breeze" , and now you can feast upon "X.A. Assembly" (originally from the Rose Window cassette), which hits with a soothing salve of plaintive [...]

Wroom // Fungal Overlord If you ever, like me, get in the mood for some absolutely soul-crushing drone the search can sometimes be long and arduous. For me, drone is either something that sucks me in or it doesn't. Fortunately, the folks at Sweat Lodge Guru made the search a little easier by releasing Wroom 's Fungal Overlord. The label not only claims it as one of their best, but also likens it to an "intense, stunning walk through a spidery metallic drone [...]
Resident Advisor Interviews Tim Hecker : The hard-working boys and girls over at RA recently posted a fascinating interview with ambient mastermind Tim Hecker (one of my favorite contemporary artists, as you have likely already discovered if you read this blog), and for someone who makes such ghostly and startlingly immense music, he's a very down-to-earth kind of guy. A great read for those interested in his music and the state of electronic music today. "Being a musician is very strange right now, at least for me. [...]
always in postscript by willamette Some soothing, ambient drones coming through on this new Williamette release, Always In Postscript . It's out now digitally, but there's a limited edition 103 available as well . While the music on Always has that formless quality most ambient songs do, there's a really dark heaviness to parts of this album. The title track is propped up with waves of low-end drones. "A Year of Failure, a Year of Fortune" has a similar heaviness to it that I like as well. Definitely [...]

Is it cold out? Do the nights still feel long and dark? Are you troubled by a sense of foreboding? I missed this very fine album when it was released last year, and only really decided to hunt it down after the Quietus made it their #4 record of 2011. Bobby Krlic's extraordinarily atmospheric record weaves together droning, rumbling strings, rattling percussion and the occasional haunting piece of choral singing ('The Fall', for example). There's also lots of silence, the space in which the sounds happen. The name, and the general feel and look of the [...]
Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the release of new album In by German experimental ambient artist Markus Mehr , the first of a triptych that also includes the forthcoming releases On and Off , all released over the next 12 months. Markus Mehr follows up his stunning debut album Lava with three new releases. In is the first part of the triptych, comprising two monumental tracks, 'Komo' and 'Ostinato', each of [...]

Tarot Chords lay before you to conjure more than what we currently have. They tell of a future unlike our own. A future we're in dire need of.

Tarot Chords lay before you to conjure more than what we currently have. They tell of a future unlike our own. A future we're in dire need of. The tale of renaissance and the cold rediscovery of the creative spirit. Witch house, drag, ghost drone, dark wave, dark snyth, witch bass, zombie rave and sometimes even seapunk will find their way into the notes of this feature. These sounds are brought to "life" by composers who not only to test the boundaries of music today, but most importantly the paradigms that envelope it. This week, we have [...]
With Endless Fire is het nieuwste werk van de in Pakistan geboren, in Amerika opgegroeide Ilyas Ahmed , en zijn derde release bij Immune Recordings . Na zijn eerste cdr in 2005 heeft hij een eigen stijl weten te ontwikkelen, dat zich op een primitieve wijze uitstrekt langs folk, blues en drone. Na het enigszins verrassend rockende en bluesy Goner album in 2009, is With Endless Fire weer een stap terug naar de weidse, hypnotiserende melodieën, waarbij de akoestische gitaar de [...]
