A new track from the ambient project Tape Loop Orchestra titled “I Died When She Left Me.” It’s from the newly released album In A Lonely Place. The song is a pretty haunting combination of strings and what feels like field recordings. There’s a strong sense of sorrow

Sonic experimentalist Solicce, a.k.a. Tom Gallo, has a debut full-length dropping early next year. On the small collection of tracks he’s seen fit to release beforehand right here, “Moonsailing” is a touching and piano-lead standout. Not only is the piano playing here delicate and patient, but the
