Geotic: Abysma
Abysma is undoubtedly a pleasant listen, but it runs the risk of leaving very little impression at all.
Andrew Dorsett
Gas: Narkopop
If previous Gas albums were all fog and illusion, Narkopop is striking for its clarity.
Actress: AZD
Scottish producer Actress evokes abandoned spaces, decaying yet futuristic, with skill and precision.
Arca: Arca
Arca's third album is both emotionally enrapturing and conceptually thrilling.
Saltland: A Common Truth
Rebecca Foon has managed to take what could have been a narrow exercise in chamber music and crafted something with real emotional depth and scope.
Hauschka: What If
Volker Bertelmann's minimal arrangements are carefully, even lovingly constructed. As complex and challenging as this collection can be, it feels honest above all else.
Lydia Ainsworth: Darling of the Afterglow
Lydia Ainsworth's sophomore LP is a warmer and more open effort than Right from Real, one that achieves remarkable consistency throughout.
Teengirl Fantasy: 8AM
Teengirl Fantasy gesture plenty at dark, intense, minimal electronic music on 8AM, but too often the duo fails to commit.
Anjou: Epithymía
Epithymía is ambient music at its grandest scale, molding a sense of sublime wonder through its six tracks.
Joakim: Samurai
To listen to Samurai is to be regularly rebuffed in your efforts to firmly grasp something beyond its shifting surface.
Anohni: Paradise EP
While none of the tracks here are quite as immediate or undeniable as "Drone Bomb Me" or "4 Degrees", Paradise is a searing and compelling indictment of our global predicament.
Tennis: Yours Conditionally
Tennis's fourth LP adds nuance, definition, and depth to their already well-established sound.
