DARKSIDE - Nothing - Matador Records
If Psychic felt like a transmission from another dimension, its follow-up, Spiral (2021), was more grounded, its hypnotic grooves gliding over well-worn terrain rather than carving out new topographies. Now, with Nothing, DARKSIDE recalibrates once more, delivering an album that is at once raw and introspective, guided by a newfound looseness in both structure and message.
EMOTIONAL ALCHEMY - AMBIVALENCE - EMOTIONAL ALCHEMY
“Ambivalence" invites listeners to immerse themselves in a world where soundscapes take centre stage. As the first original on Emotional Alchemy's eponymous label, the release sets the tone for a musical journey characterized by depth, emotion, and a departure into ambient realms.
