Welcome to the first installment of the new column, Buried Finds. Here, we look backward in time, digging deeper into the silt. I’ll recommend a few older releases in each post.

There are so many new releases that I couldn't even cover all of them in Unearthed #17. Among the selected are Her Menacing Pet, Sphäre Sechs, Mortum and Star Shaped Chimney.

I’ve put together a feature on some essential female producers in dark ambient and drone. From the glitchy melancholy of Gail Priest to the ritualistic work of Chthonia, these voices keep the genre relevant. Give them a listen. 🌑

I have been living with Gabriele’s latest release, The Journey to Reach the Fathers, since December. It has been a much-needed anchor for my troubled mind lately. This is more than an album; it is a ritualistic passage through sorrow, anxiety, and eventual transformation.

My full review of this dark ambient masterpiece is now up on the site.

Apparently your 15 years old business can be destroyed in a minute by some automated “AI detector” bu****it. Terrible news.

Just realized that when I started the website, I gave the weekly posts a title based on the week number – looks like I didn't even think that it would last so long! :) I did some housekeeping, renaming the posts and redirecting from the old URLs. Let me know if I broke some of the links. I'll be back soon with a new post and some surprises as well.

The first interview is live!

I feature Entrópia Architektúra discussing their album Kapu and their philosophy of "stepping out of the fortress of randomness." Look forward to more interviews soon.
