Boards of Canada - "Reach For The Dead"

New TracksadminComment

Boards of Canada releases its first track from the forthcoming Tomorow's Harvest, and it's a cinematic doozie, featuring some steady beats and cinematic synthscapes that are sure to set a slightly ominous mood.

This new album of BoC's will be dropping on Warp records early next month! The anticipation!

Kevin Hufnagel- Polar Night

New TracksadminComment

Since the release of his 2011 album Transparencies, guitarist Kevin Hufnagel (Dysrhythmia, Gorguts, Vaura, Byla) seems to be putting more momentum behind his solo, ambient efforts.

Polar Night is his latest collection of guitar-conjured drones and soundscapes, and you can stream it all you want via the widget above. The release contains three tracks, or phases: Two 8-minute pieces, and a 25-minute monster. Enjoy!

Thee Source of Fawnation- I Missed You Black Diamond

New TracksadminComment

Back in November of 2011, I blogged about a track from the forthcoming Thee Source of Fawnation release, I Missed You Black Diamond. It was an eerie, and groove-laden piece of experimental drone music.

Well, now you can hear the entire Source of Fawnation debut in its glory via Bandcamp. If you like your music to have a dark, ritualistic flavor to it, this is a must.

Kevin Hufnagel- Transparencies

New Tracksadmin1 Comment

Guitarist Kevin Hufnagel is best known for his contributions to the world of modern metal through acts like Gorguts, Dysrhythmia, While Heaven Wept, and more. But underneath all of these extreme sounds has been thriving passion for ambient music and soundscapes. This latest release isn't Kevin's first foray into this genre, and it sounds like it. I say that because the textures on this album are pretty gripping and affecting, which is a feeling I rarely get from this style of music--well, outside of producers like Tim Hecker, sure.

Give this 11-track experience a listen. Some unquestionably great sounds are on here.

Stream Colin Stetson's New EP

The new Colin Stetson EP, Those Who Didn't Run, is now available for streaming on Constellation Records' SoundCloud page. There are two ten-minute tracks on this monster, which is an exercise in attention span that not even Stetson's last album asked listeners to endure.

Not to make this EP sound like a chore. This dude's approach to solo saxophone pieces are a mind-boggling treat, and this EP is a raw, uninterrupted listen to that.
