/Ambient, Breakbeat, Ambient techno, Glitch ambient, Glo-fi, Experimental electronica, Downtempo/

Comment: enthralling broken beats wrapped up by dense yet blissed-out atmosphere do make this album really worth always to be remembered for. More profoundly, the beat structures veers away techno, breakbeat, jungle, downtempo, however all these rhythm structures are coated with darkly glistening synths this way rather being a part of the glo-fi/chillwave music scene. Released on the Modicum Of Silence label which once domesticated such outstanding musician as Brothertiger, a melody maker widely known in the circuits of the chillwave/glo-fi scene at the moment.

/Glo-fi, Chillwave, Electronic pop, Dreamwave, Electro pop, Sampledelic, Alternative dance, Hygnagogic pop/

Comment: permanently struggling dream-soaked grooves, warped electro layers, acid-fried pop sensibility, whimsical sonic effects, however, thus having a very crucial impact upon you, dear listener. Samples tend to come in and go out, thereby resulting in the eternal rotation of moods and ambiences. This is what we used to call as "nowadays pop music". And of course, it is really sexy, yet allowing no opportunity to vulgarize itself and those peoples subjected to it.

/Indietronica, Folktronica, Dream folk, Toytronica, Experimental folk, Crossover, IDM, Organic electronica, Lo-fi/

Comment: Tidy Kid has been active since the mid of 00`s providing titillating electronic shapes and shadows. 7 tracks of angular folk songs which are heavily undermined with sparkly IDM-based oscillations and lovely childish setups of chord shackles. Occasionally the album is filled in with intimate, dream-infiltrated approach (Toy Plane In Ice). Indeed, Tidy Kid is still able to avoid for being formulaic and predictable.

9.2

/Psych-rock, Drone rock, Experimental rock, Avant-rock, Post-metal, Psychedelia, Stoner rock/

Comment: a decently droning psych/stoner-rock issue from Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The total embodiment of massively resonating guitars and psychedelic organs/spatially radiating electronica will be ascending into a whole as if being a part of a weird sort of symphony music. Such sound does have a bunch of kindred souls from the past and today (Talbot, Lee Noble, Silver Apples, Flora, Nadja, Spacemen 3).

/Alternative pop, Dream pop, Soft rock, Covers, Electronic pop/

Comment: great 3 tracks from Khabarovsk, Russia. You can find out from there some sort of sensible chart-appealed indie pop with some dance vibes and new wave-esque influences a la the late period Talk Talk running its post-rock path through the erstwhile shapes of synth pop. You can feel such kind of feeling while listening to their cover version of Dubstar`s Stars.
