Experimental guitarist, improviser and songwriter Eric Chenaux announced the release of his new trio album, Delights Of My Life, back in March.ย He also gifted us theย album opener ‘This Ain’t Life’, and ‘These Things’ which he also teased is my fave track from the album which dropped today.ย
Following 2022’s album Axis, producer and composer Church Andrews (aka Kirk Barley) and drummer Matt Davies have unveiled their six-track mini-album entitled Yucca. The release finds the pair weaving intricate patterns from Fibonacci sequences.
The genre-fluid quartet made up of Freฬdeฬric D. Oberland (Oiseaux-Tempeฬte), Greฬgory Dargent (H), Tony Elieh (Karkhana), and Wassim Halal (Polypheฬme) have shared Sihr their debut album as a quartet. The album is a fertile no-man’s-land where trance and contemplation, jazz and electronica, acoustics and electricity merge in a stimulating mystical magma.
Emmy-nominated US filmmaker and composer Elori Saxl blends natural and processed sounds along with structured and unstructured forms on her new album. ‘Drifts and Surfaces’ provides a glimpse into an artist continually evolving, capturing life’s essence with mesmerising, visceral, and almost palpable minimalist sound.
