Premiere: Bliss out with LARAAJI and KRAMER’s new album opener ‘Submersion’
OK, look: we’re well aware a 21-minute slow-building ambient piece is a hard sell if you’re not specifically into that kind of thing, but LARAAJI and KRAMER have made some undeniably beautiful music in their own separate projects so it stands to reason they’d hit the jackpot when working together.

The album was hard, fast, and unsubtle, made for rip-roaring countryside driving music, and …
Track: HOLM unfold the post-rock glimmer of ‘In Gardens’ from their Zurich bunker
