An 8-minute monster from the forthcoming Cave In album, White Silence. Some of the heaviest riffs I’ve heard in a few months. Clean vocals usually don’t do it for me in a style like this, but it’s just working for me this time around. Really looking forward

Amon Tobin’s career as an electronic music producer has been long and fruitful, resulting in such albums as Permutation and Supermodified. He’s not the largest figure in IDM, but certainly one worth noting. What looks to be the guy’s 7th album, ISAM, is getting dropped on May

New track from hypnosis-via-electronics specialist White Mountains. He’s got a new EP–Lightforms–dropping on Waaga Recs on June 7th, and “Spectra” is the first track to drop from it. Enjoy!

Jaar’s really bleak and creative approach to understated electronics made his latest LP, Space Is Only Noise, more of a grower than a shower. The impact didn’t hit me at first, but it was undeniably there. Oh, did I mention he’s on the Loved List? He’s

A track taken from the forthcoming LP from Brian Eno and poet Rick Holland. The release comes as the result of some on and off collaborating, and the wish to finish what the two hard started when they initially worked together in ’03. The album’s title is Drums Between

Thanks to the good people at Lambgoat, Rotten Sound’s sixth album is up for streaming. Cursed is a pretty unforgiving grindcore record, loaded with a whirlwind of drums and distorted bass. The one shining ray of light in this pit of despair is the high-gloss production on this LP.

Chicago’s Indian just dropped their fourth LP on Relapse Recs. Guiltless takes hints from doom and sludge, yes, but the vocals on this thing call out to the frostbitten sounds of black metal. The riffs on this thing are pretty massive as well.
