OUT NOW! Rich God: Unmade (Somewherecold Records, 2024)

OUT NOW! Rich God: Unmade (Somewherecold Records, 2024) Rich God is a project composed by droneroom (Blake Edward Conley) and The Corrupting Sea (Jason T. Lamoreaux). Recorded over the course of a year or more, the album was slow to come but, in the end, the mayhem that resulted is a brilliant combination of droneroom’s and The Corrupting Sea’s sounds. Part guitar eruptions, part industrial, and part explosively experimental, Rich God’s debut album, Unmade, is a seven track, well thought out tour de force. Distorted rapture and falling basslines open the album with a concussive blast and the ride just keeps on building. In places, the percussion becomes minimal, floating along rolls of fuzz. Piano, phantasms, and the edged convulsions point toward a dystopian world that has been Unmade by Rich God. Destruction, deconstruction, rebuilding, and deconstructing again happens throughout the album, as melodies appear in spite of the grit and grime of floating static and destructively powerful drums. Rich God: Unmade is out now on very limited CD (30 copies) and digital downloads.

OUT NOW! droneroom: as long as the sun (Somewherecold, 2024)

We her at Somewherecold Records proudly announce the release of another amazing album by droneroom entitled as long as the sun! Hank Savoy gives the feeling of the album best in the following missive: It was another pale Saturday. I’m not even sure what the fuck that means. It just sounded good in practice. Guess that’s true of a lotta things like hard working or marriage or staying alive to…

Dream and Reality by Quintelium (Somewherecold Records, 2024) Release Date: 8/30/2024 Quintelium is the electronic/ambient project of Michael McWay, hailing from the Central Valley of California. So far his work ranges from the drone/ambient from his debut Memory Horizon (2022, on Kaiseiki Digital) to the more rhythmic Berlin School-inspired Kosmische of Moon Waves (2023, on Ephem-Aural). His newest, Dream And Reality, out on Somewherecold Records, expands and deepens the drone excursions of his debut and explores the spiritual terrain of new age and the sound of Stars of the Lid. Dream and Reality uses the minimal aesthetics of drone and ambience to evoke a flowing, ever-changing reality, the one that we find ourselves in in every instant.

OUT NOW! A Journey of Giraffes: Retro Porter (Somewherecold Records, 2024)

OUT NOW! A Journey of Giraffes: Retro Porter (Somewherecold Records, 2024) Retro Porter is the lucky 7th album by A Journey of Giraffes for Somewherecold Records. Recorded in Barcelona and Baltimore, among other places, the album derives its inspiration from the architectural feats of Antoni Gaudi. Using Gaudi’s technique of trencadis- where cracked tile is rearranged and placed in a surreal yet somehow organized pattern- AJOG takes the fragments of sound and applies them in recursive formations. Motifs appear, dissolve, and reappear amidst other motifs undergoing the same process— familiarity escalates in tandem with unfamiliarity at a growing pace. Retro Porter also draws its breath from the idea of the flaneur (see The Arcades Project by Walter Benjamin). As described elsewhere, the flaneur “sees the world through a kaleidoscope, finds solitude in a crowd, and delights in anonymity.” In short, everything connects neatly in Retro Porter though the pieces might appear disparate and diffuse. The sounds of this album disorient and orient simultaneously. The sum of all your daydreams writ large.
