Two experimental electronic music pioneers who also happen to be analog musicians at heart create an endlessly fascinating assemblage of artificial sounds rooted in human artistic instincts.

Here is “Like Swimwear (part one),” the advance single from Jeff Parker ETA IVtet’s upcoming album ‘Happy Today.’

‘Fallows’ is different because the perspective is different. It’s up to us to find the beauty that transcends the chaos; Caroline Davis found it in the American Rockies and shares it with us through these recordings.

‘ELEPHANT’ shows Adam O’Farrill’s daring to innovate new jazz with disparate non-jazz components comes from the acumen to conceive it and execute it with confidence.

Here is a new ambient track from Skerik, “Air Garden.” it’s an advance single from the saxophonist’s all-ambient album ‘SKERIK 0610725,’ out April 24, 2026.

The Necks’ ‘Bleed’ is briefer but there remains plenty of time to insert many small intriguing new twists into their incomparable brand of modern, minimalist music.

It probably goes without saying that if you like The Necks previous records, you’re going to like ‘Travel,’ too, guaranteed. It’s a familiar sound but the songs will still take you on an engaging journey where you’re not sure beforehand where they wind up.

With ‘Fractal Sextet,’ guitarist/composer Stephan Thelen doesn’t necessarily introduce new ideas, but he takes good ideas he already developed and puts them into a new framework. That makes the music that resulted from this sound just as fresh.

With a prepared piano, Satoko Fujii once again makes “music that no one has ever heard before.”

Dave Seidel’s ‘Involution’ adds color and texture to minimalism in such an inventive way.
