The Ambient Hour, January 15 2025
In the second ambient ambient hour of the year we start with a very poor guided meditation and then swiftly move on for an hour of sweet, sweet relaxing sounds.
Track list
- TEX, Golden Palms
Taken from: TEX (Self released)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Johnny Tex hails from Cape Town, South Africa and has mostly been writing Garage Rock, Rockabilly and Surf Music for the past decade or so (his impressive list of bands includes The Future Primitives, The Dyna Jets, King Trash and The Thirty Eights). He recently transitioned over to producing mostly on the computer under the name TEX and finds he can actually be more creative this way because it feels like literally anything is possible - he says he "can just get lost tweaking sounds forever".
Taken from: RTS.EP (Self released)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Hurricane is taken from an Untitled 6 track EP made in only one week. The tracks are based around the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the hellish conditions the enslaved had to go through while on the ships to the Americas. prePosur describes the EP as a gift back to my those before hime who were forcibly transported to the country he--and many other black people--call home.
Taken from: Colloquy 2 (Self released)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
This and all Techno-Tony's tracks released are recorded live in one take on a Eurorack modular synth. He performs locally in Santa Cruz, California using the same setup. Of course the rack contents change gradually over time. Techno-Tony calls his genre techno-jazz, perhaps inappropriately he says. But then we're living in a post-genre world now aren't we?
Taken from: Spiral Industries (Kino Disk)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Lithic Disc is the final track from the four track Spiral Industries EP by Infant that was released at the end of October 2024. The EP is atmospheric and textural and well-worth your attention. You can get it for any price you choose from Bandcamp.
Taken from: impossibly impermanent (Self released)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
This Occasional Society teams up with James Hastings for the Impossibly Permanent EP. The artists completed the EP remotely via exchanging files and messaging but they sound very much in-sync here. The aim was to create something the listener could lose themselves in and hopefully find some space for themselves. Free/name your price from Bandcamp.
Taken from: Forget Me Nots (Self released)
CC BY-NC-SA
Eddie Palmer puts out some truly excellent music under his Cloudwarmer project. 'Journal of the Plague Year and Other Apparitions' is taken from his Forget Me Nots album released back in 2022. Expect dark beats, upright bass and shimmering synth lines. Fans of the Cinematic Orchestra will find much to enjoy here.
Taken from: fade from view (Self released)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Taken from fade from view by Chad Glenn, this is an album that will take you on a journey into outer space and to the depths of the ocean.
Taken from: Arx (Kino Disk)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Only three tracks long but packed with dense layers of electronics and organic sounds in the vein of Skee Mask.
Taken from: Sisyphean Audio Therapy 2 (Self released)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
From the opening chords of the first track you know that Sisyphean Audio Therapy 2 is going to be a treat. As the album gets going there are uplifting pads that are reminiscent of Boards of Canada without sounding derivative. I actually can hear the birds in this one. I'm on a beach and I'm feeling calm. A perfect soundtrack to a solitary contemplative walk at twilight.
Taken from: Drop audio (Self released)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Crispy rhythms and viscous ambient melodies contrast with each other like colors on an artist's canvas. Subtly intertwined in a flow of endless energy, a flow of goodness and sadness, sharpness and smoothness, clarity and fuzziness. The album is inspired by autumn walks along empty beaches, rocky landscapes, amber sunsets.

Aoire is South Cumbrian, UK musician Shaun Blezard. Making music after a few years away he returns to his ambient roots. This track is taken from the release Arthur Baker bw Biggar Bank which is a first venture into the world of hardware machines
Taken from: Music For Floating (Mortality Tables)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Taken from the new album Music for Floating which was released on 10 January 2025 via Mortality Tables. The title ‘Music for Floating’ comes from one of the two tests that I use when I’m listening back to my music and checking in with how I feel about it. The first test is when I’m dozing in bed, and the other is when I’m in the bath. Both of those things feel like floating. - Oliver Richards
