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.

Zhe Pechorin - Signs

Zhe Pechorin is a Belgrade-based music producer who released earlier this month her new album on Noir Age (home to Distant Tongues). "Signs" is a six track journey through otherworldly portals, gliding smoothly alongside sci-fi tones & droned out minimalism. Organically shifting and progressing through the noisy cosmic vortex, the album is a blisssful slow-paced trip that brings to mind the opening sequence in Blade Runner. Fantastic record that makes me want to dive into Zhe's back catalogue.
