“Download 'Huggs' by ThirdTemple, soothing music for meditation and relaxation.”
From the bog, with keys: syn.terra's Mellow Evil fuses jazz stylings with grinding guitars, pounding double-bass drums, and distorted horns in instrumental progressive swamp metal, while Kharybdis strolls through piano-driven industrial jazz grooves with upright bass and dangling vines. Aeon / Umbrasia dredges mechanical jazz straight from the bog, with melodic trumpets over industrial grime and rust-neglect drums. Decompositions layers lead horns and organs over synthetic swamps, constantly rotting. Meanwhile, Jav Grojas' Strolling to Nowhere traces a half-real, half-initiatory journey through neoclassical-jazz piano pieces, and APPARËT's TRISTESSE APOTROPAÏQUE closes with slow, pastoral post-rock chamber warmth.
