[Music] Muslimgauze – Arab An Dog Curfew Tel Aviv
It seems like Muslimgauze will live forever (or for a very long period of time) thanks to the endless amounts of music Bryn Jones left in his studio, which continue to creep out every now and then.
[Music] Thy Veils – Sun Sun
Wonderful news for dark ambient fans! Romania’s own Thy Veils have released a new single, pointing them into a different, somewhat tribal and pulse-filled direction. I look forward to hearing more!
[Music] Willem Breuker – Psalm 164
Sounding something like a pipe organ in a 1910s-era movie theater, here is Willem Breuker banging about on a keyboard. He was known as a saxophonist, clarinetist and bandleader, but was fearless when it came to improvising music.

Poppy Nogood è un violinista americano, iniziato al proprio strumento poco dopo aver imparato a camminare, la cui esperienza artistica […]
[Music] The Durutti Column – LC (Full Album)
The Durutti Column produced what I feel is one of the most perfectly atmospheric albums ever made, crossing post-punk, jazz and ambient music.
