Kiasmos‘ new album, “II,” continues their exploration of the intersection between classical music and electronic soundscapes. The album is a journey through rich, textured compositions that blend the minimalistic elegance of Ólafur Arnalds’ piano and strings with Janus Rasmussen’s intricate, driving beats. Each track on “II” is meticulously crafted, creating an immersive experience that transports listeners to a realm where the organic meets the synthetic. The melodies are hauntingly beautiful, often building up to powerful crescendos, while the underlying rhythms keep the energy pulsating.
No.5 | Moby – new album Always Centered at Night
Ambient, house, electronica, drum and bass
Moby’s new album Always Centered At Night features a different collaborator on each track. This collection showcases Moby’s signature blend of lush, atmospheric textures and subtle, haunting melodies, creating a meditative experience that is both soothing and thought-provoking. It’s hip, funky and soulful and I’m really enjoying listening to it.
