Quiet Murmurs, by Hideo Nakasako 7 track album

At some point last year I dived down a massive Japanese ambient rabbit hole. I’ve only partly re-emerged because I keep finding so many great albums. This one by Hideo Nakasako is sublime from start to finish, but if you play one track, make it Dust

Twilight on The Water Surface, by Hirotaka Shirotsubaki 9 track album

I definitely have an ambient hat on today. This new one by Hirotaka Shirotsubaki on the always excellent Stereoscenic label is an absolute beauty. He describes it as a hopeful album (it was recorded during Covid) and that really comes across.

objetos de campo, parte I, by bahΓ­a mansa 5 track album

I think I’ve raved about the music of IvΓ‘n Aguayo, aka BahΓ­a Mansa, before, but his new one, Objetos de Campo, Parte 1 is absolutely sublime. Find it here:

Great album. I saw them a couple of years later at the New Ardri Ballroom in Hulme, Manchester with fIREHOSE and AC Temple supporting. A mind-blowing set -see below! And yes, ’dropping’ in this context sets the teeth on edge a little :)

Flow and Fracture (MEDS101), by Jo Johnson 8 track album

Now playing: Flow and Fracture by @jo-johnson.bsky.social. Gorgeous stuff. Anything Muzan Editions release is worth hearing, but this is particularly good.
