two nice releases from Cold Tear Records from arists Echo Delta & Slownoise
I got these two on a recent promo discount from this label and I’m glad I did, great stuff:

Slownoise – Silent Wilderness
Very genre-centric… but I like this genre so it’s good
new ambient/drone release ZOGAM : MANSPLAIN EP
Stories Of An Awkward Size: A Slipstream And Hard SF Anthology – Jonathan Swords-Holdsworth
I mainly mention music here, but I’ve just been reading Jonathan Swords-Holdsworth‘s debut short story collection “Stories Of An Awkward Size” and thought it deserves a plug here:
Check it out on Amazon, where you can order it as an actual physical book, with ebook version coming real soon now!
Loscil : Sea Island
Some nice electronic ambient from Canadian Artist Loscil.
I got the FLAC release from Boomkat.

Neither scene nor heard: a journey through ambient music
Great article from the excellent A Strangely Isolated Place site:

Well it’s nearly 10 years old but better late than never!
A Catalogue of Woe – T.K. Bollinger and That Sinking Feeling
Been very much enjoying this gloomy Melbourne doom/blues/alterna outing from T.K. Bollinger and That Sinking Feeling – I ordered a prerelease copy via the bands Facebook page, and went for the deluxe version with the lovely hardback book.
Reminiscent of Nick Cave (without the deep register vocals) and Wreckery, the jagged, sparse instrumentation really hits the spot, with some genuinely catchy (albeit gloomy) songs that really stick in the brain like a gloomladen ear worm.
Great stuff.

BLACK MOY, Zoe Keating, Bersarin Quartett, The Children’s Encyclopædia
A quite varied range here, ranging through techno, modern classical, electronic (IDM?) and guitar ambient noise:
BLACK MOY: Parameters – some more nice meat and potatoes minimal:
Bersarin Quartett : pleasant orchestral sounding IDM.. or IDM sounding Orchestral? not sure:
found via mention on SNA forums.
Zoe Keating: Into The Trees – Modern Classical..but has almost an electronic austere feel to it.
The Children’s Encyclopædia – The Strings That Make The Music : floaty ambient electric guitar stuff.
