Another great release by ambient electro artist Radioseven, whose new EP, An Escape is an 8 track joyride through lush, atmospheric gems that remind me why I love this genre so much. It combines minimalism with electronic dance cues to create a refreshing sound, and I look forward to everything this guy plans to throw at us in the future. Swing by his bandcamp page to stream the album in its entirety and pick it up at whatever price you feel like.

Radioseven | Speak Soon

Although Amor Ad Nauseum has been around in one form or another since 2006, what once was Bud Wilson’s bedroom project got its bearings in 2008, when the Portland-via-Eugene, Oregon songwriter added two more musicians to his band. With accompaniment, Wilson’s brainchild manifested into multi-faceted instrumentation drenched in reverb, uniting folk guitar plucking and warbling vocals with synthetic bursts of sound. Aan’s latest 7″ (that was released yesterday!), Somewhere’s Sunshine, gives its listeners both sides of the trio’s sound, starting with the digressive, pop-turned-ambient A-side, “Haunted, Million Ways,” and ending with the funky, soulful title track as its B-side. You can purchase a physical or digital copy of the EP here.

It’s been awhile since we’ve mellowed out at Newdust and posted a nice ambient tune. Although technically this song is half ambient, half electro-acoustic, which is probably why I like it so much. Rough Fields is the project name of UK composer James Birchall, which is the perfect culmination of all of his previous work: folk, classical, rock, minimalism, electronica, electro-acoustic and experimental composition. All rolled into one sweet, sweet package.

And what’s great about the single “Manila” is that it’s made up entirely of rescued instruments and found sounds (such as a rebuilt mandolin or the recorded sound of a mic in a large cardboard box as the kick drum for example). Nice.

Radioseven blends minimalist ambiance with rhythmic guitar riffs that I can’t get enough of. Grab his first EP from Bandcamp and take it with you on a long & winding road, roll down the windows and crank it up. Looking forward to hearing more from him!
