[AMBIENT/EXPERIMENTAL] Anjou – “Anjou” Album Review

November 11, 2014 Ryan Burns

Satellites erode, collide, and emit, adding ever more debris to the morass already orbiting the earth. Read about it: it’s a thick film surrounding us, and may have already reached critical mass to accumulate indefinitely. Bits of metallic, electric nuggets speed around the planet, a harsh inorganic environment set against the backdrop of sub-zero silence. […]

February 27, 2014 Ryan Burns

When visions dance across your eyelids at night, each simple idea resonates into a cavernous haze of ambience. The ideas themselves may not be new, and in fact they’re probably triggered by subconscious desires and fears, it doesn’t matter as much as the “feeling” and the “presence” of the dream. Douglas Dare’s “Nile” approaches simplicity […]
