Description: it's finally out for pay-what-you-want download! Description, taken from the Bandcamp page: From September to December 2011, EUS (Costa Rica), Postdrome (UK) & Saåad (France) came together to explore their shared visions of drone and ambient music. The result is Sustained Layers, a 44 min introspective work formed by carefully assembled layers of drones, field recordings and blurred melodies. This collaboration was made possible by the constant experimentation and improvisation that took place throughout recordings, and distance becomes a key part of the record as the time zones separating the artists shaped the progression of the album entirely.

Like A Villain​ & The Early - Split

Like A Villain​ & The Early - Split

Genre: Avant-Garde

Format: mp3 | CBR320kbps

Country: USA

Size: 88 Mb

Tracklist:

01. Like A Villain - Mystics Vs. Skesis Conjunction of the Three Suns Revival

02. Like A Villain- I Love You Pikachu  

03. Like A Villain - For Reasons Still Unknown 

04. The Early - Nome 

05. The Early - John Brown  

Description: You might have already heard of Like a Villain, if you like musical explorations through last.fm. This is a project of Holland Andrews from Portland, Oregon, creating "ethereal melodies of melancholy and strangeness". Her music is an experimental mix of instrumental melodies and singing, sometimes hypnotic, sometimes very emotional, and at the same time quite innovative. Call it avant-garde or post-whatever, or just enjoy the tracks. Having previously released two albums, Like a Villain now decided to collaborate with another project from Portland, The Early, for a split album, released by Friends For Life Records. The Early is a full-band of two guitarists and a drummer producing experimental semi-improvisational (or even fully improvisational) instrumental madness. I would call it post-rock, and hopefully this doesn't create the clichéd image of this genre in your head. Anyways, both parts of the split are united by the main idea of experiments in music, and surprisingly this is a very good, enjoyable record, that makes you want to re-listen it over again.

Description: couldn't help posting this album, because it is so very special! Emphemetry is Richard ‘Biff’ Birkin, born in Derby in 1982. This album is a carefully arranged blend of genres, impossible to be described in one word. You can hear ambient passages, piano instrumentals, calm acoustic singer-songwriter material. The new album from Emphemetry features ambient swells of guitars, intimate folk songs, a string quartet, strange sounds, tape delay, reverse loops, pianos, and a haunted acappella quintet. 
"Variations of Ambience" could be another title to this great record. Another intriguing fact is that this album was mixed (plus additional production) by Nils Frahm at Durton Studio, Berlin. Are you still thinking?
