“Electronic” Reviews

The disc has a highly improvised feel to it, based entirely around the live electronic manipulation of Helvacıoğlu’s acoustic guitar.

Four songs of blissed out electronica that recalls Boards of Canada as well as My Bloody Valentine.

What’s most gratifying about Out of the Woods is the appreciation it exudes for the simple graces of life.

A solid debut whose restraint leaves the listener wanting more — in a very good way.

Every single note, melody, and beat on So This Is Goodbye has been streamlined and polished as much as possible.

Like much of Francesconi’s music, it can leave the listener in a nostalgia-soaked haze.

Head Warlock Double Stare delves into a broken, fractured take on analog synth music.

The trio imbues their music with a certain youthful naiveté that can endear them to all but the most cynical of souls.

Moments in Slow Motion sounds like something of a nostalgic holdover for me.

Featuring Aarktica, Robin Guthrie, July Skies, I Am Robot and Proud, Lowlife, and more.

Epic45 weaves in a sense of nostalgia and wistfulness that touches on the notions of abandoned, forgotten places.

It captures into the meandering melancholy and sense of longing that characterizes Haruki Murakami’s writing.

To be perfectly honest, I just think Munk has found himself in a bit of rut.

An exhilarating of sampling, laptop electronica, glitch pop, and hip-hop.

Again, there’s a sense of vastness, and yet there’s none of the obligatory epic flourishes that one often hears in trance music.

There’s an expansiveness to Bows’ music that it makes seem better suited to the silver screen than on a simple stereo.

Warriors & Warlocks is far more fun than it has any right to be.

Background music best reserved for walking down dimly lit hallways with an escaped mental patient about to leap out from behind any door.

Despite having been released in 2001 and delving pretty heavily into the trip-hop side of things, this album feels surprisingly undated.

What is so intriguing about Off The Sky’s music is the way it teases your subconscious.
