Horizons is a collaboration between two artists with whom I have no prior familiarity, Austin Williamson and Blanket Swimming, both from Kansas City, Missouri, with numerous releases on Bandcamp and many small experimental labels.  This album consists of two longer pieces, 15-20 minutes each, alternated with a couple of shorter tracks, though the actual listening experience feels quite continuous.

Here’s an expansive history lesson in Polish animation, released by the ever-reliable Radiance; I’m reviewing promotional discs only, but the full package comes with a booklet of writings, and I guarantee there’ll be the immaculate presentation that Radiance always delivers. As the title suggests, the two discs collect up short animated Polish films, and the set covers a large time span and a large range of content. For those of you who take an interest in animation, this is all gold dust.

Eternal Life No End is a truly inspired sonic collusion between traditional Arabic instrumentation/ melody, and moody electronica. With traditional instrumentation and vocal chants moving alongside buzzing, juddering, and brooding electronics.

Afterlife Requiem is the second album from this post-classical dark drone project from Winnipeg, Manitoba.  It’s a nine-track affair, which moves between lush yet mournful drifts. Murky-edged mournful simmers, and gloomily sweeping expanses darted by the odd bleak sample.

Insect Movements balances murky roll, with constantly punishing battering. The single-track wall noise release slides in at just under the half-hour mark and remains both full/ fixed throughout.

Yellow Noise Wall severs up a shot of rapidly rumbling ‘n’ tumbling walled- with a thick meaty bass centre, and an addictively churning flow.
