Described as a "Live Synthetic Audiovisual Experience."

Black metal has been chummy with ambient music since birth, but Ulver's commitment to the genre is something else. Their debut album, (1995), released when singer Kristoffer Garm Rygg was 18, inspired a whole universe of nature-drunk folk metal; meanwhile, Nattens Madrigal (1997) is a prime example of the most scabrous and distortion-encrusted recesses of black metal. Between the two was the ambient Kveldssanger (1996), which proved they could work well at a lower altitude, but that still didn't prepare anyone for 2000's Perdition City:

Space Ghost & Teddy Bryant teamed up this year for the Majestic Fantasies album that shines a light on late '80s and early '90s sounds that possess that swing. Through the prism of R&B, UK street soul, house, and g-funk, both artists polish up what seems to be back in the cultural zeitgeist these days-but for the discerning listener, it never went out of style.

So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

It's right there in the title of the first track, "Vegetation Grows Thick," whose textures feel like mutant organic tissue. With dusty hip-hop drums straightened out and sped up, it feels a bit like an old Mo' Wax record left in a damp attic until it grew mold in its grooves-humid, buzzed, and a little blissed-out in its spongy transformation. It's a head rush grounded in the earth, electronics running through soil and sending messages to god knows where.
