Somewherecold - There's a chill in the air... genres. Further, we hope to connect bands with listeners. It’s our primary goal. It’s hard to remember).

The majority of our coverage is about bands that are of the slocore, ambient, experimental, shoegaze, post rock, etc. Finding and interacting with bands we love and sharing those bands with others brings us joy and we are continuing that tradition here. We also still believe in the “album”. We know that bands and artists think carefully about the order of tracks on an album to create an ebb and fl

ow, emphasize peaks and valleys, tell stories, and the like. We want to respect and acknowledge that effort. Further, we hope our writing and care for the art we write about reflects the respect we have for the time and effort the bands and artists put into their craft. We attempt to “listen” to the best of our ability. We will never capture in words the force and impact of music even though we will try to the best of our abilities. Before the relaunch of the site on September 15, 2016, Somewherecold was an active online music magazine between 2001-2009. Brent began the site in 2001 while Jason joined some time later (perhaps around 2002/2003. For a number of personal reasons, the site went down. The old URL was lost and we thought we lost the data. Well, it turns out that Phil, our tech guru and the houser of our site on his server, had actually saved the majority of the articles we wrote over that period of time. We are calling this “The Archives” at the site. We invite our readers, both former and new, to go back through our reviews and interviews since they are a time capsule, and, perhaps, will lead many to go back and explore some great music. We owe a great debt to Brent who is the original founder of this site. His writing and great ear made this site what it is. Perhaps he will find the time to return as a guest reviewer or something more.

PRE-ORDER UP FOR QUINTELIUM'S THIRD ALBUM!

Dream and Reality
by Quintelium
(Somewherecold Records, 2024)
Release Date: 8/30/2024

Quintelium is the electronic/ambient project of Michael McWay, hailing from the Central Valley of California. So far his work ranges from the drone/ambient from his debut Memory Horizon (2022, on Kaiseiki Digital) to the more rhythmic Berlin School-inspired Kosmische of Moon Waves (2023, on Ephem-Aural).

His newest, Dream And Reality, out on Somewherecold Records, expands and deepens the drone excursions of his debut and explores the spiritual terrain of new age and the sound of Stars of the Lid. Dream and Reality uses the minimal aesthetics of drone and ambience to evoke a flowing, ever-changing reality, the one that we find ourselves in in every instant.

Quintelium: Dream and Reality will be released on CD and digital on August 30, 2024 on Somewherecold Records.
