Description: Using guitar, various effects pedals, bass clarinet, modular synth and a laptop, the two movements on Darkroom's 'New River EP' 10" sees Michael Bearpark and Andrew Ostler dissolving orchestration into more abstract static with slow moving glacial motifs blended with ghostly shifting chord sequences. 'Tiny Life Reflecting Blue' is classic Darkroom, developing a soothing, yet repetitive atmospheric hum while 'Land Of Cake And Confusion' underlines Bearpark's and Ostler's versatility and persevering drive as composers, presenting a supreme and emotive soundscape. Droning transmissions. You know what to do.
Even if he says otherwise, Ian Hawgood is super prolific and incredibly talented in not only his own releases, but in collaborations and with the heart & soul put into the labels he's run over the years.
Saying all that, this is a more recent favorite release of Ian's: peaceful, deceivingly simple (yet not!) piano works that is personal, elegant and graceful in its warmth and presentation. Plus it's for a wonderful cause. Get it!! Joe Borreson
The cover art inspired me to go alone in the park, lay down under a big tree, and get immersed in this ethereal ambient, watching the cloudy cold sky through its late november naked branches. And yes, the soundscape seems bigger than if listened in the living room. BVCVLEI
With all proceeds going to benefit Ukraine, the latest from Angela Winter is a beautifully haunting work that centers the human voice. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2022
Texas oceanographer Daniel C. O. Thornton weaves field recordings into his shimmering ambient tracks to create absorbing sound collages. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 3, 2022
My first time listening to Wil Bolton. Night Paths is a great ambient album, just like the rest of the Hidden Vibes "series". Highly recommended. ajatuslapsi
