Album review: KMRU – ‘Logue’: expansive ambient electronica with intelligence and a found-sound bliss

  • May 9, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
KMRU's Logue is a window into the mind of a young African musician who really, truly gets this musical form, has crafted some astonishing little gems herein; if this is, to all intents and purposes almost a juvenilia, then we have so much to look forward to. At once old-skool and nu-skool ambient, with bookends of purer, generative analogue electronica admitting you to a more organic, blissful core. This is a bloody lovely record; blissful, thoughtful, deeper than it first appears; buy

Album review: UNKNOWN ME – ‘BISHINTAI’: a delightful, candy-coloured ambient trip

  • April 26, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
BISHINTAI is a delightful album, candy-colour bright, beamed from some offworld where fantastic cuboid furniture and hanging egg chairs are the norm; it will add a little brain-clearing wasabi to the most humdrum and dun day. If you've ever swooned for the Sushi 3003 and 4004 compilations; for Air at their most "Sexy Boy" cosmic and and most especially definitely, the bright retro-futurism of The Gentle People - then boy, is this album ever for you
