In Rotation: The Declining Winter, HTRK, Tobias Svensson, Thousand Foot Whale Claw, WMD (Review)
Pastoral post-rock, ominous-yet-lovely electronic, contemplative electro-classical, krautrock-inspired cinematic music, and glassy dreampop.
In Rotation is a regular Opus feature where I post short reviews of noteworthy music, both new and old, that I’ve been listening to lately.
Belmont Slope by The Declining Winter (Review)
Pastoral post-rock that re-imagines Bark Psychosis’ gauzy sounds for the British countryside.
Drama by HTRK (Review)
Though oppressive, there’s something alluring and even sensual about HTRK’s minimal jams.
Music for Sketches by Tobias Svensson (Review)
Elegant piano compositions blend with fluttering electronics and the occasional string flourish.
Black Hole Party by Thousand Foot Whale Claw (Review)
The group’s blend of krautrock and ’70s German prog-rock is about as hard to resist as a black hole’s event horizon.
Ephemeral by WMD (Review)
The perfect soundtrack for summer days where you just want to lie down and watch the clouds float by.
