Sun Glitters - Traces

I feel like Sun Glitters has been around for ages, yet he still manages to engage me with his craft, both in terms of music and visuals. His new three track EP "Traces" revolves around the title track of the same name, which will eventually appear on his upcoming album. Sound-wise, this album would fall under the category of cinematic downtempo, however it also gives me a lo-fi beats vibe in the vein of Baths. Very cool and instantly catchy if you're into chill instrumentals.

Candle Ea†er x RAREPERSONA - Last St☆r Mall

Peak capitalism sold in a limited edition capsule stored in a VHS clamshell for that extra bit of nostalgia. Or you can call it "experimental mallsoft", like the two creators of this album do. "Last St☆r Mall" is a collaborative record between Canadian producers Candle Ea†er and RAREPERSONA. Channeling ghosts of retro past, they have delivered a zany, feels-familiar album of ten post-vaporwave joints that could work as intros for various TV shows from a non-existent '80s era. The vaporwave gimmick got boring to me a good while ago, but this is quite fun! Check it out.

Exsufflation - Ashes (Strfll Remix)

STRFLL steps up for remix duties, adding their special touch and distortion to Exsufflation's single "Ashes". The track originally appeared on his new album "Channel 0", which came out a few weeks ago (review coming soon!). Meanwhile, grab this sick remix here.

Intestines - Precious Moments

New haunded hip-hop joint from Intestines, this time on vocals only. "Precious Moments" was produced by Anvil, who remains a mystery - I couldn't find any info about him. You can download the track here. This track may appear on the new album.

YlangYlang - Skewed Fuck

YlangYlang is a name I haven't seen in a while. Her new EP "Skewed Fuck" just dropped on Bandcamp and I'm pleased to report it's a rather rad outsider-ambient project. I'm not even sure if that's a good way to describe it. It does have an outdoors feel, and the tracks have a nonlinear structure - they often feel fragmented, looped and heavily processed, with the final compositon "Drowned mandrake" almost verging on noise.

Check it out here and stream below.

STRFLL - Summer Drone

STRFLL's new drone single hits the same sweet spot as Enya "Orinoco Flow", slowed down 300%. Bliss with an edge, I just wish it was 8 minutes longer! Make sure to support here.

Humanfobia - Living In A Haunted House

This eerie EP from Humanfobia, released in collaboration with Bromtol Largesse, is an abridged capsule of their mammoth 20-track compilation released under the same title last year. I'm really pleased with what they've done here - by making the release shorter, it feels much more cohesive and manages to elevate their haunted, ambient world-building even further. The sound design is really good: minimal yet immersive, capturing the distinct atmosphere of a horror game OST. Recommended for late night freaks.
