  • Ordos Mk.0 - Sunset Shore - https://ordosmarkzero.bandcamp.com/track/sunset-shore: An evening walk along a stretch of water, lost in thoughts.
  • Ordos Mk.0 - In My Watery World - https://ordosmarkzero.bandcamp.com/album/in-my-watery-world: a thematic EP from a composing jam that evokes a video game set underwater. Gentle and dare one say, immersive?
  • Black Tempel Pyrämid - The Hierophant - https://submarinebroadcastingco.bandcamp.com/album/the-hierophant: Squally, looping experimental lo-fi kraut/psych jams from a prolific Colorado, US band. I saw that Cruel Nature had released one of their LPs and found I didn't have it, but I have this one from SubCastCo. Not what I expected from the description but pretty good all the same.
  • david a. jaycock - Music for Space Age Shopping - https://davidajaycock.bandcamp.com/album/music-for-space-age-shopping: New from Subexotic, part of their Shopping Centre Trilogy, all released last Friday. Like Carlisle City Council's The Lanes Re-Development, it plays with electronic soundtracks and library music, in this case evoking the concrete shopping centres of the 60s and 70s that have often since been redeveloped or demolished. Some tracks have a dynamic hopefulness that would accompany a promotional film and others evoke the windswept bleakness of Sunday afternoons in them, or complete abandonment.
