New Secret Space: “Past”
The sound of rain and a school chime…Secret Space delivers right on the title from the start before introducing a delicate synth skip accompanied by bell shakes that makes up the bulk of his latest. Taking cues from the nostalgia-tinged sounds of i-fls or Shortcake Collage Tape, it’s a fragile little song where those samples…
Controlled Karaoke: Japanese Duo Do Best Simon & Garfunkel Impression

Brennan’s Scary Moments III, a slow-creep of…
New Luka Uemura: EP/3
Talk about bad timing – I wrote about electro-dude Luka Uemura on May 3, bookmarking his Bandcamp page and assuming he wouldn’t post any new stuff for a while. Two days later, he uploaded EP/3, an ambient-focused release. I’m just now noticing it, but it still deserves some attention. On the previously noted EP/2, Uemura…
