“Music” Archives

Mise en Abyme is a fascinating, disturbing, enthralling, unsettling listen, and one of the most accomplished Raison d’être releases to date.

Ceremony doesn’t bring anything new to the shoegaze formula; rather, they take the genre’s hallmarks and just turn them up way past 11.

The mix also features Nirvana, Michael Jackson, Talking Heads, Daft Punk, Smashing Pumpkins, Enya, John Lennon, and the “Full House” theme

The music’s laidback vibe makes it ideal summer evening soundtrack material, regardless of whether you’re on a tropical beach or not.

This may be neo-folk, but don’t expect an album full of nothing but blissed out psych-folk or martial industrial numbers.

Steve Roach’s ambient classic gets the three-disc deluxe treatment, including two discs of new music inspired by the original.

The new album deals with “loss and grief and humanity in the face of technology” and will be accompanied by a short film directed by Joey Ciccoline.

A beautiful mix of minimal piano and electronics, captured live.

I was instantly transfixed the moment I heard the opening strains of “Rutti.”

Soaring ’80s pop, charming modern classical, brooding indie-rock, atmospheric sludge metal, dreamy R&B, and more.

Tropical dub from Sweden, blistering post-rock, contemplative ambient jazz, emotional drones, an electronic journey through space, and more.

Featuring gloriously mopey ’80s pop, robotic heartbreak, shimmering dreampop, late night ambience, and the return of a music legend.

The brevity of Amir Abbey’s haunting ambient pieces belies their emotional effect.
