Here are 10 significant ambient albums released in August.
Dellasollounge – Voyager

Format: digital
A sonic exploration of the depths of inner and outer space. Seven atmospheric miniatures are perfect for a quiet evening.
Dionisaf – Shibui

Shibui is a simple, unobtrusive beauty that expresses original imperfection and intelligent restraint. The track titles are based on various polysemantic aspects of Japanese aesthetics and culture.
Piscean Daydreams – Piercing the Veil

Format: digital
Piercing the Veil invites you on a sonic journey through the labyrinth of spiritual transformation, guiding you toward the core of your identity and essence. This album follows the path of a seeker embarking on an inner quest, relying on intuition and wisdom to navigate their way.
Various Artists – Ambient V

Format: digital, CD
Belgian label Atlantea has once again brought together outstanding ambient artists from all over the world.
Henrik Meierkord – Falling
Label: Project Records (USA)
Genre, style: #ambient #neoclassical
Format: digital
Where most ambient music is made with electronics and synthesizers, Meierkord’s melancholic soundscapes arise from the organic sound of strings.
Markus Guentner – Kontrapunkt
Label: A Strangely Isolated Place (USA)
Format: digital, vinyl
Collaborations are nothing new to Markus, but it’s hard to see beyond his strong singular presence as a pioneer of long-form ambient and drone. Instead of music encapsulating a strong conceptual narrative, Kontrapunkt sees Markus create a dialogue between himself and a collection of inspiring production partners.
X.Y.R. – Fruity L∞ps Series Vol. 1 "Exotique Waves"
Label: Atlantea Records (Belgium)
Format: digital, cassette
Many field recordings are harmoniously mixed with loops of samples not typical for ambient.
Rhucle & Morimoto Naoki – Reminiscence
Label: Seil Records (Germany)
Format: digital, cassette
A collage of memories - reliving them through sound. A wonderful collaboration between two Japanese ambient artists.
∑V∑RYTHING – Super Liminal
Label: Global Pattern (France)
Genre, style: #ambient #drone #vaporwave
Format: digital, cassette
Long immersive surreal sound spaces. Some people may find this music too dark, but for others, it will be a great way to eliminate unnecessary thoughts.
Jonas Raudonius – Imaginary Freedom
Label: Amulet of Tears (Lithuania)
Genre, style: #ambient #drone #darkambient #noise
Format: digital, vinyl, cassette
The immensely cinematic sound of Imaginary Freedom, developed from creating soundtracks for various theatre performances and movies, syncs together the lines between Moog Modular System, live instruments, field recordings - coalescing together organic and electronic frequencies.
