Cementation Anxiety - Glacial Dissociation

"Glacial Dissociation" marks Cementation Anxiety's return to the Language Instinct label - one year after his previous EP "Transience Frequency". The title may be foreshadowing, but this new dark ambient EP feels like a dirge for the irreversible changes brought by melting glaciers. The sombre tone of these five sound sculptures signals the arrival of disillusionment with the world around you. Sonic doom and gloom, but what a captivating and beautiful way to go. The EP is out now on limited edition tapes.

You can buy the cassettes directly from CA (or here). Stream the EP below.

The Implicit Order - Callback 3

The Implicit Order has been busy working for the past few weeks, with new tracks popping up on his Soundcloud feed every other day. "Callback 3" is one of the most recent ones - a short, haunted piece that evokes the same feelings Tracy Widdens' music channeled on "Ethereal Mischief". Eerie vocals looped over distorted keys will lure you in until the wall of noise comes crashing down. Stream here.

Carya Amara - Carrion Carya Amara

Carya Amara is a long-running project of UK-based producer Kevin Busby, who also runs Earthrid label. His latest album "Carrion Carya Amara" is a collection of ten dark ambient compositions that evoke an eerie energy, as if they were composed for a documentary about a haunted circus site. While the droning synths and moody soundscapes really draw me in, thanks to an underlying thread of hauntology woven into each track, the record occasionally drifts into more abstract, rhythm-driven territories ("Going Home" or "Voices Out of Time"), which sometimes felt a bit out of place on repeated listens. However, the album has enough creepiness to make me come back to it over and over again.

Grab "Carrion Carya Amara" here, and stream all the tracks below.

Endings - Openings

Endings is a solo project by Philly-based musician and producer Douglas Vento. His debut release "Openings" is a four-track window into his experimental electronic universe, built on ambient and drone foundations. The opening track "Hypoxia" offers a glimmer of lushness, led by a playful arpeggio that transitions into a deconstructed synth soundscape called "Blood on Blood". The last two compositions incorporate noisier elements, adding extra texture while still remaining within this hazy, dreamy ecosystem.

Get the album on tape here. Stream below.
