Here are 10 significant ambient albums of previous month.
Le Code & KapTep – Urban Garden
Label: Mare Nostrum Label (France)
Format: digital
A superb collaboration. Atmospheric signature drones from Alexandre (Le Code) and subtle atmospheric noises from Derek (KapTep). And also memorable reworks by Philippe Deschamps, Kilometre Club and Brannan Lane.
Dvory & July in January – Warm Hands
Label: Chitra Records (USA)
Format: digital, CD
The album is dedicated to the bodily sensations of the space surrounding a person, filled with a sense of warmth as the main source of life. Dvory's music is a subtle combination of guitar, effects, and trumpet, which creates a mood of melancholy, like dark jazz, which сonnects perfectly with dark electronic noise drone by July in January.
Winter Silhouette – Unity Drift
Label: Ambient Cat (USA)
Format: digital
Immerse yourself in vast spaces of inner peace and contemplative simplicity. Perfect for meditation, relaxation or simply unwinding after a long day.
Macrogramma – Magnetic Series
Label: Lontano Series (Italy)
Genre, style: #ambient #drone #noise #minimalism
Format: digital, CD
Beyond the allure of nostalgia and the fun that this medium provides, magnetic tape offers something unique: an intransigence that digital lacks. While digital allows you infinite possibilities, tape forces you to make definitive choices, pushing you into a creative process that permits no compromises. And perhaps it’s this very unyielding nature that makes it so fascinating and valuable.
Zen Lemon – Notations 74
Label: Ambient Cat (USA)
Genre, style: #ambient #downtempo #psychill #psybient
Format: digital
Zen Lemon’s album Notations 74 offers an ambient cinematic experience designed to create a serene and immersive listening journey. While the album’s title hints at a thoughtful, perhaps introspective voyage, it doesn’t explicitly narrate a story. Instead, it blends cinematic elements with soothing ambient sounds to transport listeners to a tranquil, otherworldly space.
Hainbach – Breve
Label: Seil Records (Germany)
Genre, style: #ambient #drone #noise #minimalism
Format: digital, vinyl, cassette
Recording this album was a kind of therapy for the author. And the purpose of this music is the same - to give relief and calm.
Eguana – Invisible Civilisation Vol. 6
Label: Cosmicleaf Records (Greese)
Genre, style: #ambient #downtempo #psychill #psybient
Format: digital, cassette
The album Invisible Civilization reflects an exploration of the unusual and mysterious aspects of our world and the universe. This music transports the listener on a mystical journey through the depths of space, through temporal dimensions, and into the world of fantasy.
Ki Oni – A Great Blue Heron Patiently Waits In The River
Label: Florina Cassettes (Canada)
Format: digital, cassette
On the water’s surface shimmers the ordinary... A very poetic set of sounds, images and noises.
Tricorn & Queue – Continual Passage
Label: Housecraft Recordings (USA)
Format: digital
This one is kind of rough around the edges phonically, but worth pitching into the chancery. A quirky but very atmospheric and talented work.
ProtoU – The Voice of Serenity
Label: Cryo Chamber (USA)
Genre, style: #ambient #drone #darkambient #noise
Format: digital, CD
A dreamy sweeping voyage across light and dark. Featuring spooky-electronics maestro Fractalyst and cinematic soundscaper Skrika.
