Some friends have been recording very strange duets under the name Glovenathans. I like this new one, seems to be mostly guitar duets or guitar w/ synth.

"Experimental electronic guitar manipulations intertwine with wandering acoustic ambience. One foot in 1970s Germany and the other in the woods, rivers and mountains of northeast Scotland."
only a couple of tracks on the bandcamp but the whole album is on spotify

Rough-hewn and exhilarating, EL Khat's second album "Albat Alawi Op.99" is a deep dive into leader Eyal el Wahab's Yemenite roots and their inspired re-imaginings. A careening orchestra of percussion, horns, strings, electricity and el Wahab's own DIY instruments. Mesmerizing retro-futurist sounds.

Two releases bunged together in recent Wire review section because they're both on Constellation and both quite 'disintegration of popsong' but also both are completely addictive and great:
Eric Chenaux: https://ericchenaux.bandcamp.com/album/say-laura
Kee Avil: https://keeavil.bandcamp.com/album/crease
― technopolis, Wednesday, 27 April 2022 20:55 (one year ago) link
Chenaux sounds great, thanks! Doesn't make sense to me why it was paired with the other, but oh well.
(If you like the Chenaux, you might like the Maria Elena Silva record from last year, 'Eros')

New Ashley Paul doubles down on the best bits (wobbly drunk clarinet) of 2020's Ray; is tremulous and gorgeous and miraculously avoids overt preciousness:

I don't know if I really get this thread's remit, but the new Rachika Nayar is impressive. I like it a lot more than her previous album. The way it bursts into ravey technicolor at times never fails to delight (though it might be alienating if all you want is Grouper-y banks of melancholic guitar fog), and in general this sounds like a big step up in ambition and achievement to me

I did get the urge to listen to Seefeel after that final remix track, so you're onto something there. But does that imply post-rock isn't already cool? :(

Some Bandcamp stuff
- New two-song single from ---__--___, 'Divine Berth' If you liked last year's 'The Heart Pumps Kool-Aid,' this is the same sort of thing— "new" classical vibes with auto-tuned vocals, very unsettling and great. https://sethgraham.bandcamp.com/album/divine-berth
- A record from Baum Sae, 'Communication'from the release page: "Baum Sae is a collaborative project between drummer Soojin Suh, and traditional vocalist Borim Kim combined with Gina Hwang on Geomungo, a traditional Korean plucked instrument. Together they formed a new project "Baum Sae" (translation: Night Birds) in 2020, combining traditional Korean musical elements with group improvisations and original compositions." https://soojinsuh.bandcamp.com/album/communication
- lilien rosarian, 'every flower in my garden'tape manipulation, radio interference, bells, very beautiful hazy music with some occasional moments of "whoa" mindfuck https://lilienrosarian.bandcamp.com/album/every-flower-in-my-garden
- Nick Storring, 'Music from Wéi'Solo piano, very beautiful and unexpectedly strange— goes from sounding like soundtrack music to sounding like Morton Feldman. Great. https://nickstorring.bandcamp.com/album/music-from-w-i
Maybe a few others, that's all I have time for right now.

Ah, yeah, I liked the lilien rosarian. Recalled Fennesz, which is v welcome for me. I revisited Storring's My Magic Dreams Have Lost Their Spell recently, which was pleasant. This one seems like it will be quite different.
