“Creative electronic headspace”
Less is more, and more is everything: ghost orange's Happiness delivers ambient minimal techno lo-fi pop straight from Nottingham, while Start-Track's Vol. VIII Instrumental Compilation gathers the finest wordless dispatches from the indie underground. Mike Zellers' bricolage slices and loops improvised flute into meditative collage, and gon pulvo's HOME 8GAIN (in the morning) stretches 30 seconds of sound into three distinct house explorations. The Penal Colony's Beyond ventures into post-industrial rock with musique concrète edges, while Zane Alexander's Shadows and Dust strips love, war, and loss down to voice, guitar, and raw atmosphere.
“'Beyond' is a work of post-industrial rock with elements of musique concrete, inspired by the cold realms of existence beyond human understanding, hope and desire.”
“A collection of acoustic/folk live field recordings of existing songs and a few new debuts from singer-songwriter Zane Alexander”
“Lo-fi acoustic songs about identity and belonging, sung across cultures, sung in French and Spanish”
“A lo-fi, live-first acoustic EP about loss and the quiet collapse of the world around us.”
“The eighth compilation for our indie music blog and label, start-track.com, features only instrumental tracks this time.”
