PELICAN – b-sides and other rarities

TALSOUNDS – acquiesce

even if this is droning earth blog i rarely get drone/ambient promos nowadays; as you can see from the long supporter list this is much better than average dreamscapes.

ZOETROPE – amnesty

bit confused with some new releases so tripping back to the 80s, this was underrated, no one else liked it but i was spinning it like a madman, still sounds unique.

BLUE DREAM – volume won

dreamy, bluesy, heavy, surprising, relaxing… trip, one of these bands who play whatever they want and it sounds good, hard to categorize, at times thought im listening pink floyd, at times gary moores guitar, singer could sing in some britpop band (one of those two) too, so go ahead, make my day and figure it out.. kozmik

OF WOLVES – no loss for words

one of my favorites from the past years, from the “sludge” category, wish there were more bands like this who dare to say it straight and not write some cryptographic mumbojumbo bullshit. One track also on droning earth vol69.

CAMP

PLAGUE OF CARCOSA the color out of space

neat little drone-doomer/guitar-noiser, pay what you want or leech like a pro.

BARREN HEIR tired turns

haunting experimental post-metal with agony-filled vocals twisting and turning to unknown directions, at times like improvisation, not for easy listeners.

CAMP

PALE HORSEMAN mourn the black lotus

could  repeat what i said about their 1st album, not gonna, but heavy slow riffs rolling sweetly again, guys should be touring the world already.

PALE HORSEMAN s/t

great *ucking Chicago sludge.

CAMP

VERMA exu

JULIA A MILLER solo variations

“shred feedback electronics. guitar as multiple instruments. percussive drone. pure tone barrage. spider fingers. liquid rips through space. bent time.
solo variations is a live recording of guitar improvisations captured at one of the sunday solos series at the experimental sound studio in chicago.”

GOOD WILLSMITH how to use 33 "passion keys"

improvised drones a la Emeralds/Kluster/SunnO)), nice!

VERMA salted earth

CAMP

WITCHES the familiar/exiting

great 2 tracks from the chicago duo, these guys can make atmospheric scapes.

CLOUD

“Witches is a duo from Chicago performing dark psych drone. They use instruments to create dense and ominous atmospheres to portray dark and evolving tones.”

ps. sorry people sending me downloads, if you want some kinda review, send streaming tracks too, no time/bandwidth to download huge albums now.

PHOTOGRAPHERS nightgown (demo)

great track from their upcoming album. CAMP

THE ASTRONAUT KING kingdom of false existence

another great one man project, 18 tracks varying from drone to acoustic doom, “sovereign to the soulless” was on some droning earth volume, awesome sabbathic acoustic track. BANDCAMP
