This morning I glanced at a list of albums Brooklyn Vegan posted about for 2024 records so far this year, and there's a new FOUR TET record from March I feel like I would've missed had I not seen it there-- I hadn't heard about it.
Four Tet is of course Kieran Hebden from London and is some wild, weird and beautiful electronic stuff. There's some great synth and ambient sounds (and beats!) on this one.
'Three' will most likely be among my favorite albums of 2024.
Periodic reminder I'm still looking for electronica bands with acoustic drums, either featured in their studio productions or live performances. Streaming platforms' matching algorithms can't be that specific, so any suggestion is welcome and as a starter point, here's Muriatic by Polynation.
in an effort to expand my music library and also share cool stuff, fedi, I beseech thee... lend me your ears (and boosts)
if you listen to, make, or have a friend who makes electronic music that fits any of these descriptions:
sounds like the early 2000s, especially if it's some kind of dnb, jungle, or ambient
nostalgic futurism that isn't dnb or ambient (and especially not synthwave!)
sounds like racing game music from back when it was too good
vaporwave but original (as in, not sample based) and not synthwave
weird and wacky experimental electronica that can work in the background
bass heavy but low intensity music that tickles the brain
just really pretty and interesting ambient or drone stuff in general
please drop names and links here. by all means, plug yourself and your friends if you want to
bandcamp, mirlo, faircamp, and similar links are preferable, but any link will do if those aren't available. extra bonus points if creative commons or similar
I think these styles of music are amazing and rather underrated, especially since a lot of the people who like these styles are just playing random youtube mixes in the background, so they have no idea what they're actually listening to or who to support
I also find this kind of music annoyingly hard to discover, which isn't helped by those mixes either, because most of them are either drawing from the same small handful of artists, or just playing video game soundtracks
I want to change that, even if only a little bit. for that reason, please boost
aside from just hoping to spread this post around, I'd love to write about what I hear on my website eventually too, play it during livestreams with the titles on screen, and of course share it with all my non-fedi friends
We have a dark electronica double whammy this week, with the arrival of Pye Corner Audio's 'The Endless Echo' from Ghost Box, and The Night Monitor's 'Horror of the Hexham Heads' from Library of the Occult.
Nightmares on wax...👀
Drawings inspired by Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain. Track No 6, Felt Mountain. For Felt Mountain's Felt Mountain, I have drawn a felt mountain, which symbolises a felt mountain.

Excited to share my new album with everyone. "Concentric Circles" is now available on #Bandcamp and from your favorite music streaming service.
If you like #electronicmusic, especially #synthwave, #IDM, and #drumandbass, please check it out! 😀

Released in 1998 as part of the group's acclaimed album "Mezzanine", "Teardrop" features ethereal vocals by Elizabeth Fraser (formerly of Cocteau Twins). Its haunting melody, downtempo beat, and harpsichord elements made it an instant classic. The song became iconic through its use in the TV series "House M.D."
It's another #BandcampFriday and tbh times are tough, so support is hugely appreciated. This is the latest full-length from my project Fugue State, which @yoniden described as "A beautiful collection of dark cosmic synthesizer music."
And if you're feeling the squeeze too, please feel free to check out my #Faircamp link in the next post, where everything is pay-what-you-can.
@lehto's new single is an ethereal lullaby consisting of beautiful Rhodes and piano lines, some electric guitars and the calming voice of Emily @socool to lull young and old to sleep.
Good morning,

'Flowers Grow From Rain' is a little calming lullaby, made out of Rhodes, Piano and Guitar bits & I've teamed up again with the wonderful @socool for this, who has lend the track her voice. We hope you enjoy our little track!
