Album description by @woulgmusic:

The Body is a Prison is a deep dive into an emotional inner world, seemingly just as ready to explode into violence as it is to crumble in despair, but still somehow floating on a sense of wonder. Insane sound design glitches interject beautifully composed piano and synth layers, weaving together into some sort of enormous mechanism. Rhythms coalesce and fall apart, melodies float between seemingly infinite states, everything reshaping itself as we go deeper and deeper into the imagined world. Everything from the cohesive sonic palette, to the flow of each song and phrase, to the journey of the whole album has been considered in incredible detail. If this is Amaranth Todd’s early work in hyperglitch, I think we should all be excited for (and afraid of) what’s to come.

Amaranth’s sound design, oscillations between obscured and clear pulse, dynamic forms, and mosaic layers are exactly what I imagine when I think of hyperglitch, and is exactly the type of music Philippe Macnab-Seguin and I have been working on outlining in our forthcoming paper about Hyperglitch and Aural Sonology. All the while, Amaranth’s many years of musical experience bring new and exciting ideas to the style. The Body is a Prison launches my imagination into a world where we could have whole event line ups and labels of hyperglitch, and many communities and resources for new artists that are interested in learning the techniques, all helping to establish the edges of the genre while simultaneously expanding it.

@ikotu is back with a spectacularly wacked-out four-track EP, Common Eider. The Scotland-based producer himself delivers the only thing a true Ikohead could hope for, twists and turns at every chance and a stunningly beautiful collection of sounds that always keeps you on your toes. Lose yourself in a world of little mechanical canines and prevalent waterfowl for a little while and see where it takes you.

Opus - Crumble [duploc.com premiere]

A track I had more intricate plans for that was unfortunately lost. Thought it was still worth it being out there to some degree.
