V.A. - Amulet Of Tears

The Lithuanian ambient mavericks Amulet of Tears are celebrating their 5-year anniversary with the release of this massive compilation showcasing the talent that has graced the grooves and tapes of their boutique label. Mutant Zones favourites Zhe Pechorin, Night Foundation, BODYXVIII, Script, and Volunteer Coroner all leave their mark, alongside a number of other acts new to me. Honestly, this is a fantastic project that demonstrates impeccable curation and a wholesome community. Happy birthday to the founders, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Script - Violinist Death

Today I realised I haven't shared the last two releases from the ever-amazing Language Instinct label. Script is the alter-ego of LA's head honcho, Greg Nunn, and "Violinist Death" marks his third project under this alias. The first of the two 15-minute-long textured short stories will make you feel all warm and fuzzy, though there's also a hint of mystery lurking beneath. The second composition feels more fragmented and disoriented - almost like a mini-album in its own right. Check those out!

There was a short lathe run of those, but they sold out. Instead, you can get the digital here. Stream both tracks below.
