Cool soundscapes served hot: Beck West layers improvised ambient sounds rising and falling like comfort food fresh from the oven, while Elly Kace channels ambient bluegrass for the reclamation of the divine feminine in American culture. Shan Lyu/Mike Zellers juxtapose technologically extended flute against field recordings and samples in a spontaneous auditory world, as Harmolodic Dreamer offers no-second-takes guitar improvisations alive with birdsong and wind. Taylor Nuttall remixes Gare Du Nord into a surreal glitchy soundscape, while Ghosts At Windows delivers melancholic electronic solitude recorded in a mountain house.
