New week, new list of 'new' music to listen to.
Discovered Hunted Bedrooms by Jilk from 2024. A lovely collection of electronica with some found sound/collage touches.
One track appears to have a squash match for a rhythm track!

Friday recommendation is from British electronic royalty.
The Black Dog have remastered and rereleased their Fragments album (from 2020ish?), full of beautiful and haunting ambience and electronica.
Highly recommended.

Todays recommendation is Baghali by Jaan (who I think is from the Netherlands) - a nice mixture of some asian sounds with excellent electronica.

Todays recommendation is completely new to me, but have been around for a while.
Drøne - The Long Song is collection of static, found sound, tones and synths which make up a slightly unsettling and curious soundscape.

Todays new (to me) recommendation is an extraordinary journey from Maps - Welcome To The Tudor Gate.
This is heady stuff, billed as a long-lost horror soundtrack and features some pulsating and anthemic electronics.
I loved this!

I don't know how to describe todays new music find.
Iconoclasts by Anna von Hausswolff is an epic, sweeping, gothic slice of electronica with stunning vocals - an collabs with Iggy Pop and Abul Mogard and others.
It's incredible.
