Warmth - Solace

Consisting of three tracks that reinterpret each other, my EP showcases the limitless potential of a single sound source - a simple Guitar Drone.

Forest Management - "Remote Rail Ex" (Air Texture, Vol IV)

In "The Floating Garden," I've ventured into a realm where generative synths and the spirit of ambient music converge to create a magical, calming oasis. This single is a reflection of my journey, infused with a tiny touch of neoclassical elegance amidst the vast expanse of classic ambient landscapes. I aimed to cultivate an environment that invites listeners to float away into a serene, ethereal garden of their own making. I hope it brings you the same solace and wonder it brought me during its creation.

The Floating Garden

In "Lifelines," I explore the warmth of analog sound through minimal, ambient compositions. I've crafted each track to glow with a gentle radiance, embracing the subtle textures of tape and the flow of modern Drone and Ambient music. This EP is my journey into soothing soundscapes, where each piece pulses with a soft, comforting energy.
I hope you enjoy this sonic experience.

Lifelines

Plateau

In the brackish territories where ambient Gothic dissolves into industrial techno's harsh architecture, Richie Culver's Quiet Husband finds its most compelling voice. The track I am premiering for you today, "At Your Worst," operates at this precise intersection—a dankly atmospheric piece that reflects haunted soundscapes while maintaining the raw visceral energy that has defined this multi-disciplinary artist's sonic explorations. Following his mesmerizing Atonal Festival appearance and the brutal Religious Equipment (2024) album—that unflinching portrait of addiction where track titles borrowed the clinical language of opiate blockers—Raging Habits 2 suggests a subtle shift. Here, Chicago house rhythms intermingle with looping ambient elements, creating tension between forward propulsion and suspended animation. I've had my eye and ear on Quiet Husband for a while now, seeking out the perfect piece that would appeal to all my readers, and I think that "At Your Worst" may hit that note. Disintegrating loops, raw noise and dark distortion operate in the foreground of this piece, scratching its nails on the outer walls of the chalkboard. The track's title itself speaks to Culver's unflinching examination of human fragility, that moment when substitution becomes salvation—when "noise becomes a proxy for silence, and intensity replaces numbness." This is music from the peripheral spaces of experience, from that liminal zone where endorphin rushes skim "over the synapse surface." Just days before his upcoming Berghain debut, Culver offers us not merely a composition but a séance, invoking ghosts of past raging habits while simultaneously exorcising them through the catharsis of sound. Not for the lighthearted, but if you're brave you will enjoy.
