New From Kuwahara: BONETHRONE

Bonethrone is the fourth installment from Tennessee's experimental dark - ambient ambassadors KUWAHARA. Shifting focus towards conception vs. cataclysm they tread new ground on performance and profound accessibility, rather than evoking a space of darkness; now darkness shapes the space of this post industrial and bleak at best landscapes of mechanical and molten tectonic textures that permeate each track; one unfolding into the other, clawing their way out of an abysmal plane of introspective solitude.

Kuwahara - Kandyheart Afghan Now Available

Kandyheart Afghan, the third release from Kuwahara, reveals the duo's fondness for bleak atmospheres and tortured electronics. Kuwahara continues head-first into the abyss with no signs of turning back. Purposely avoiding the white walls of sound from early pioneers of noise and dark ambient that influenced them, they instead focus on texture and melancholic passages to move their audience with a wretched grace rather than brute force. Make no mistake; this album is a pummeling slab of tectonic movements and soundscapes, much like their previous installments. This however, dwells in a realm of nightmare and abandoned hope.

Dan Miñoza & M. Peck - Like Hemlock, Now Available

The debut album from Dan Miñoza and M. Peck is a masterwork of isolated kinetics, turgid textures and vast dynamics drawing the listener in with stark minimalism and dark ambient atmospheres coupled with sparse sound design. These collected works were inspired by the novelist Charles Bukowski and photographer Sally Mann, from whom both Miñoza and Peck draw much influence.
The album was recorded from August 2011 through December 2011, then later mixed and mastered by Peck at Audio Propulsion Labs in January of 2012. The result is an intimate voyage into the abyss with two of today's most diverse independent ambient musicians.

Muted In A Perfect Black Now Available

The third installment from MAGGOTAPPLEWONDERLAND continues in all it's malignant glory that first garnered them attention six years ago with their debut "Six Hits of Sunshine... and the Bruises To Show." Be assured that they have not abandoned their trademark dissonance or melancholic passages in trade for whatever is currently in fashion. Instead, 'Muted in a Perfect Black" could quite be their most accessible offering to date. MAW continue to embrace juxtaposed frequencies with morose melody and frantic sound design, creating an unsettling, often trance-like state. Lye down, kill the lights and unravel. This is a toast to the malign.

If you have ever seen Michael Peck play live, you know the powerful force of sound this musician can create in a space.

Listeners will find a grand mixture of light floating ambient drifts that sink into pools of darkness only to spill over into a multi-dimensional plateau of deep space sounds and then do it all over again. “Bodies To The Sky” stores it’s brilliance in its subtleties and fans of all genres of ambient music will find something quite worthy of their time.

New Release from M. Peck-Beneath Forever

"Peck covers a large swath of ground in this release. Some pieces are bold and direct, standing up proudly and demanding the listener's immediate attention. Others drift lazily along through strange new sound worlds, enticing the listener to melt into the music and setting the imagination free. Others vibrate and coalesce with delightfully interacting pulses of electronica and percussion, never quite falling into the world of Berlin school, always charting a fresh course. Still others simmer darkly, crackling with a barely restrained energy lurking just below the surface. Truly something for everyone here."
