Osheyack on Svbkblt is really fun, sounds like Chinese folk music mixed with hardcore: https://svbkvlt.bandcamp.com/album/memory-hierarchy
Dane Law - Algorithmic Music for Synthesized Stringshttps://astralplanerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/algorithmic-music-for-synthesised-stringsNo beats here, but I absolutely love this release from my APR friends. Hyper-focused and the title is self-explanatory, but a beautiful listen with a lot of variation within the limitations.

The gqom thing reminded me - I posted this on Rolling Afro back in February:
Desire Marea (half of queer duo FAKA) dropped an album last month with experimental art pop. There’s a video for “You Think I’m Horny”, but check out highlights like “Zibuyile Izimakade” and “Tavern Kween” as well.Pitchfork reviewed it, favourably. There must be other suitable threads for this - not sure which ones though. It’s probably not clubby enough for Jordan’s (post-)Reconstructed Club Music thread. Anyone have any ideas?
Not gqom, but South African, and on second thought it might actually fit here, some of the tracks anyway - experimental: yes, art: yes, pop: scratch that. Check also "Thokozani".
from that Pitchfork review: "on Desire, their exploration of the divine takes them in a many-splendored multitude of stylistic directions, often within the span of a single track: liturgical drone, galloping club beats, existential noise."

The Gooooose track on that is excellent, sounds really fresh but also some classic filter sweeps in there
― lukas, Monday, 31 August 2020 19:40 (three years ago) link
Yeah I hear you, my first reaction is that it felt bandwagon-y given their past releases. On the other hand a lot of these artists could use a boost and good support, so hopefully it works out for everyone.

― change display name (Jordan), Monday, 19 October 2020 19:12 (three years ago) link
I need a second listen. A few noisy ambient things, some more melodic stuff, only a couple tracks stood out on first listen
I’m assuming the bangers will be whatever remixes happen. The single before the album had a kode9 one iirc that was pretty good but not a huge variation?
― mh, Monday, 19 October 2020 20:20 (three years ago) link

― change display name (Jordan), Monday, 7 December 2020 15:50 (three years ago) link
It was a grower for me, but I think that's because it begins in a somewhat lackluster way, and then only really gets going by the fourth track, which is my favorite on the record
