DOWNLOAD: Syntaks' FREE "Mistral Moon" EP / Loscil's "Strathcona Variations"
Syntaks’ Mistral Moon EP is a free taste of the Danish duo’s upcoming full-length Ylajali, comprising two tracks of densely layered ambient pop. Syntaks’ songs are textural epics in miniature, meticulously detailed shoegaze symphonies built from Anna Cecilia’s wordless vocalizations and Jakob Skott’s breathtaking production.

Loscil’s ambient compositions, on the other hand, exist between worlds. Both electronic and naturalistic, drone-based and melodic, rhythmic and adrift, the Vancouver producer’s three-track Strathcona Variations is both placid and filled with dread, a suite of gentle, barely-there compositions whose odd, surreal beauty can’t be underestimated.
