Cinematic transmissions from the outer edges: Song for a Gorgeous Blonde's Näcken conjures a dramatic three-movement portrait of a Swedish folk creature, melding ambient, classical, and prog rock into something sincerely overblown. j.demar sheds past restraints with propulsive, reverb-soaked dream-pop and low-register vocals carrying ritualistic weight reminiscent of Leonard Cohen. Ptastvo's The Grit paints wartime experience in raw, unromanticized colors from a Ukrainian veteran's perspective, while Jay Vicols' Sculptor hammers out the toxic panic of losing yourself to obsession in a crumbling relationship.
