Summer Film returns with "Gardens To Visit This Weekend", a collection of ambient fragments, tape loops and glitchy effects that compose this playful LP. "Plastic personalities" almost feels like a post-vaporwave radio transmission. The whole project is probably the most joyful release from Language Instinct to date.

End-of-year surprise from Language Instinct label! "Falling With The Snow" is the new record from Summer Film, following the excellent "Please Don't Look Away" which I blogged about a few weeks ago. Like its predecessor, the new album keeps up the trend of having some of the coolest and most random song titles I’ve seen lately (I guess only Lou Johnstone can challenge that). As for the music, it's a wholesome continuation of "Please Don't Look Away", where noise-infected ambient effortlessly blends with textured drones and distorted new-age soundscapes. "Rainbow" really caught my attention with its glimmering arpeggios broadcasted alongside washed out tones. This album makes me want to dim all the lights, lie down in the middle of the room and listen to those sounds with my eyes closed. Superb.

Somewhere at the intersection of lo-fi fuzz, mixed field recordings, warped drone tones, and new-age ambient lies Summer Film's offering "Please Don't Look Away". A side project of Greg Nunn, the label owner of Language Instinct, Summer Film's music feels like a series of haunted radio transmissions, each one distinct yet soaked in multiple layers of familiar distortion. This one is a must for a headphone listening session to catch all the intricacies. Great stuff!

One of my favourite new labels, Language Instinct, released their first compilation yesterday - collecting 21 songs that represent the imprint and sum up their 2024 schedule. From fragmented tape loops and cinematic drone soundscapes to textural ambient noise and captivating field recordings, "Out Nature." offers something for every fan of contemporary experimental music. I am still in the process of exploring their impressive discography, but some highlights from this year include Field Designer's "Anthropology", BODYXVIII's "Slow Flashing Light", Summer Film's "Please Don't Look Away" and Modernist's "Pathetic Decisions". However, there's still so much more I haven't checked! I cannot encourage you enough to follow them for future releases.
