Rival Consoles has released “Soft Gradient Beckons” from his new album, Landscape from Memory. The single features a breathtaking stop-motion video by Anthony Dickenson, who spent several months painstakingly hand-painting every frame to create a fluid visual piece that offers a quietly pulsing rhythm.

Taken from his new album, The Beautiful World, Portland-based artist and producer David Allred premieres the video for his latest single ‘Look’ featuring VHS footage from his childhood, which he described as an incredibly cathartic project to create.

David Allred understands that negative emotions are defined by their positive flipsides and vice versa, and his music reflects that understanding. The pieces on ‘The Beautiful World’ are emotionally complex but admirably light of touch…its quiet power is nothing short of amazing.

Masayoshi Fujita’s latest work, Migratory, is defined by its sense of flux and of growth. Comforting ambience meets melodic exploration, with the vibraphone and marimba fleshed out by subtle electronics and the sparing use of guest vocalists.

Japanese composer, vibraphonist, and marimba player Masayoshi Fujita has announced his new album, Migratory, on Erased Tapes. Listen to the lead single Tower of Cloud, inspired by memories of cumulonimbus clouds and the circling migratory swallows.

On Qasr, the defiance and courage of Sheherazaad translates into some of the most wondrous and exhilarating music I’ve ever heard. There isn’t another album like it; it’s transformational, and everyone should own a copy.

Watch Hatis Noit’s latest video for Jomon, an incredible 3-D animation by Berlin-based Taiwanese-Japanese media artist NAOWAO, that takes inspiration from Japan’s ancient Jōmon culture.

Whimsical yet also beautifully poignant, Penguin Cafe’s ‘Rain Before Seven…’ is a wonderfully exciting, energizing, and thoroughly immersive listening experience. Musically, it is impossible not to be swept up in its charm.

Penguin Cafe have announced ‘Rain Before Seven…’, out July 7th via Erased Tapes. Watch the video for their new single ‘In Re Budd’. The visuals were inspired by the cafe in Simon Jeffes’ infamous fever dream hallucinations, which led to the creation of the original Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

Ahead of her forthcoming album Aura, Japanese vocal performer Hatis Noit has shared an accompanying A.I.-generated music video for her new single Angelus Novus, Directed by Yuma Kishi.

Penguin Cafe combines music and cultures, mixing them in ways that are almost unimaginable while being as gentle as a whisp of air. A Matter of Life 2021 only serves to confirm the wisdom of the choices Arthur Jeffes has made along the way.

Penguin Cafe have announced a 10th-anniversary reissue of their debut album ‘A Matter of Life… 2021’ – completely remastered and pressed on vinyl for the very first time + new artwork and a brand new 2021 recording of lead single ‘Harry Piers’.
