Finally been catching up on some new releases:

Yair Elazar Glotman and Mats Erlandsson – Negative Chambers. Excellent atmospheric album by these two multi-instrumentalists.

Yair Elazar Glotman – Compound. Two new releases in a month! Here Glotman plays contrabass in a trio with a pianist and percussionist. Two long tracks sounding a bit like the Necks – given the instrumentation. But Glotman is a sound artist so more processing of sounds etc.

Gardener – A place where nothing was. Debut release on a new tape label run by Alex Macarte of Gnod. Two tracks of drone and ambient modular synth noodlings. Lovely.

Johannes Malfatti – Surge. Long 50+ minute drone piece, a meditation on time. The surge relates to a glacier surge event, represented in the music by a sudden change in drone tone.

Jasss – Weightless. Debut album by a Spanish woman whose name I can’t remember - Jimenez? Exists somewhere between techno and industrial with a bit of jazz and drone thrown in. Really enjoying it.

Elodie – Vieux Silence. Beautiful album on Stephen O’Malley’s Idealogic Organ label. Not heard them before but they are a duo, joined here with a trio (piano, clarinet and pedal steel). Gorgeous improvisations!

And a couple of releases from earlier in the year:

GAS – Narkopop
Gnod and Radar Men from the Moon – Temple of BBV.
