Something for your chill Sunday afternoon: new mixtape from Holy Other. Created for Crack Magazine, the mix is 45 min long and features heaps of ambient, experimental and downtempo-adjacent artists that I honestly have never heard of, but hey that's what makes this tape so great. Unfortunately there's no download option at the moment, so you can stream the mix from the link above or from Crack's website.
"Lieve", the sophomore album from Holy Other is finally here. Almost a decade after his last record, we get ten new tracks and a new set of sheets for the beautifully lit front cover. The elusive producer delivers his signature sound of mesmerizing downtempo electronica, this time more deconstructed, polished and darker than ever before, often drifting towards a sonic territory located somewhere between Haxan Cloak's Latitudes record and "Double Negative" from Low. Recorded during 2020, the album effortlessly blends dark ambient with fractured electronic signals and cold IDM undertones, creating multi-layered compositions that are occasionally graced with ethereal vocals from Sian O'Gorman. It's a stunning comeback from one of the most iconic faces of the Tri Angle label, that will undoubtedly end up on many end-of-year lists.
