electronica track


SCOTT MORGAN, the textural, amniotic electronic artist responsible for such deep, pulsing and fathoms-deep works as the sublime Submers and Sketches From New Brighton, is releasing the tenth album of his Kranky career in May. It’s entitled Clara, it’s a meditation on light and shade and decay, and you can watch the three-colour macroscopic video …

IT WAS only a month back that we covered the third single drop from rather obscenely talented upcoming Glasgow tunesmith Jeshua, “IDK”; and it was another fine entry in his fledgling catalogue. I mean, he’s been releasing tunes for such a short length of time. And they’re all effortlessly cracking. When “IDK” first came out, …

YES, THERE are glacial guitars; deep, granular textures, broad-spectrum instrumental effects that see you soaring over the landscape in your mind’s eye; it would be all too easy to stop here and reference back to fellow countrymen Sigur Rós. But then the sweet male vocal makes itself known and the dramatic scenery of the song …

THOSE good people over at Berlin’s Sonar Kollektiv imprint, the label founded by Jazzanova in ’97, have announced themselves coloured excited by the debut album of Dutch drummer and producer Joris Feiertag, who’s released a clutch of singles – strickly surname only – since 2015. He’s developed something of a rep for warm electronica, which …

IT’S AN interesting name that cool Glasgow electronicist Lewis Bingham has decided to mask up in order to bring his musical creations to the world. Glassmasterer? Er? Well, we’re told it’s actually taken from an arcane process employed at the very last stages of CD duplication, – a process known as ‘glassmastering’. There, that’s a …

WITH musical scores for the BBC/AMC series McMafia and the Storyville strand documentary Locked In, it should perhaps come as no surprise that Franz Kirmann’s latest single, “Saudade”, in collaboration with Roberto Grosso, should be so damn cinematic. Dark and sweeping electronica with a classic Sixties shimmering, twangy guitar riff draped over the top for …

HE’s NOTHING if not prolific these days, Andy Bell; the muse must properly be with him. Not content to announce a string of 12″, 10″ and 7″ epilogues to last year’s excellent The View From Halfway Down for Sonic Cathedral, he’s popped his GLOK guise on for a new single release that’s come totally out …

THE EXCELLENT Mancunian trio GoGo Penguin, whose catalogue is full of thrills of jazz with a firm focus on creativity and the dancefloor, working in the same territories as Cinematic Orchestra and Red Snapper, are all set to release a really exciting remixes album, GGP/RMX, for Blue Note in May; and boy, what an excellent …

WITH twin bases straddling that most musically inventive of cities, Berlin, and the Kenyan capital of Nairobi, electronica artist KMRU knows a thing or two about wide vistas, a far-sighted reach, a breathtaking approach to soundscaping; as you can hear in his first single drop for his new home, Injazero Records, “OT”. Wrap your cortex …

“SIGNALS FOR SIGNS” is a hard cut to horns heralding and welcoming the euphoria of the new. “The music invokes the sound of a union, not unlike a marriage ceremony. It unabashedly reaches toward the beautiful while grounding and holding us in a low-end hug.” So says Sam Genovese of his new and deeply wrapping ambient single …
