We’ve been keeping a close eye on Faelow since the premiere of his debut Floating Underground EP, and in the five years since then, he’s shown remarkable artistic growth and vision. Having stayed the course of downtempo, scintillating electronic music throughout that time, there’s a certain polish that’s evident in both sound design and composition across his maturing catalog. To that end, The Rust is incredibly excited to host the first full length Faelow LP, Lumivora, as our 91st release.

In the wake of his widely lauded ambient set at The Rendezvous in 2024, Faelow had the ingredients for this album already in the works. Pushing these arrangements over the compositional finish line, he’s turned out 8 tracks with meandering and tempered gaits. There’s no explosive resolutions or high-energy rollers, leaving behind kinetics in favor of aqueous instrumentation and reverberant, subsurface percussion. Dialed in for both the stage and the home, Lumivora is a stand-out release that sets a bar standard for 2025’s potential additions in the landscape of melodically-rich electronic productions.

Ancillary Tones & Isaac Tumor - Microcrystalline

@bellsworth & @isaac-tumor 

Combining cross-atlantic talents throughout their active years, the Israel-based Isaac Tumor and US-based Ancillary Tones both come from backgrounds in eclectic beats music and electronic productions. What separates them apart from the pack is the clarity and depth to their compositions, eschewing the old methods of “cut first, clean later” in favor of hygienic mixdowns and clear motifs. Consequently, it’s also what had us hooked on their latest collection of collaborative experiments and compositions, so we couldn’t be more excited to host the premiere of their Metacognition LP as our latest release.

Straight from the jump, the word that comes to mind is “lush”; the tempos vary from slow-churning to brisk in their stride, but the palette of tones throughout every track underpins the warmth and dynamics to their sound design and layering choices. Generous bits of foley dance throughout the album’s backdrop, taking playful shape against pocketed percussion and one-off licks. Where tracks like “Dust on the Scales”, “Plateau”, and the opening “Microcrystalline” take the steady downtempo path, twisting brooding and vibrant synthesis atop brackish beats, “Ambivalent State”, and the album’s closer “Arbelito” push a jolt of energy into the mood, bringing the overall vibe and bpm to a brisk dance floor swing. Between all of that rests the homegrown trip-hop fusion that marks the discographies of both individual contributors. Found wherever good tunes call home, Metacognition has the instant appeal of longevity, with so many nooks, crannies, and sonic crevices to explore, and we couldn’t be more satisfied to brand it as the Rust Music’s 93rd label release.

RE:PROCESSED

The subject is "processed"

This album was created though processing and reprocessing both sounds and emotions. As I dove deeper into the music, I also understood myself more accurately, and with more clarity.
