AUDIO: Psyclopean – “Nostalgiamancer”

Psychedelic-dark ambient project Psyclopean released their 19th album. Get ready to embark on a smoky, introspective, Lovecraftian sonic odyssey that gets variably awestruck, emotive and meditative. The record is self-described as Pink Floyd getting lost in the world of science fiction, which certainly conjures imagery of shadowy fantasies and the other-worldly ethereal. Keep an eye out for more Psyclopean and

Space Whaler loses

AUDIO: Brandon Buhr – “Midnight Sunshine”

Ambient electronic artist Brandon Buhr has a new EP out, following up January’s “Journey Through the Mountains.” Being with the anxious drones of electro-classical nightmares in “Toba,” the EP moves into a desolate space void with “Dryas” and then concludes with the free-floating plane of nothingness prescribed by “Endless Ocean of Dreams.” It’s one of the most bleak soundscape collections

AUDIO: Xexyz – “I Used to Play Violin”

Ambient synth artist Xexyz has a new single out. It’s a gentle, liquid composition that feels like a quiet stroll through a rainforest. The tune plays with the rich colors of nature against shadows, waters, and peeks of sunlight. The cover art is beautifully geometric depiction of that, looking like the carpet in a classroom. It’s always a joy hearing
