Thom Brennan - Soundgardens
The best news of the year so far: Thom Brennan is on Bandcamp! And he's released three new albums. One of those, Soundgardens, is my favorite thus far. Blissful, meditative washes of sound. Love it.

Great news about Thom on bandcamp. I have briefly managed to check the albums out and agree, think it's Soundgardens for me also. Hope to immerse myself in this music at the weekend and acquire all 3 from BC asap.

Good to know that Thom Brennan is still around and making music. It seemed like he dropped off the face of the earth for a while.

Kenji Kihara
I've been enjoying a couple of short ambient tracks that Kenji Kihara has released on Bandcamp. Nature samples and soft ambient touches.

i am listening to headquarters by the monkees, the first album on which they played their instruments. according to the credits there was some extra bass and guitars, winds and strings but most of the disc is by the monks themselves. they are not awful, either.

Steve Roach and Radiant Mind - HelioSphere

Robert Rich - Tactile Ground

And the new Autumn of Communion - Folk Etymology

https://neotantra.bandcamp.com/album/folk-etymology

So much beauty on a Sunday morning/afternoon listening session

[chris23]

That new AoC is simply amazing. Lee and Mick are super prolific, so I'm not always paying close attention to everything being released. But this one stopped me cold: So light, so subtle, so chill. Incredible.

David Cordero - Hacia La Luz
Lovely cinematic, dusty ambient on ARCHIVES.

Purl & Sinius - Acceptance
A short track, available on Bandcamp, that is ethereal, drifting, and smooth. I've been listening to this on repeat. Beautiful.

A side project of Altus's Mike Carss, called Loneward, that I was completely unaware of until I heard it on the latest Hypnagogue Podcast.  Lovely, cinematic feel to this music.

Just checked "Home" out on Spotify . Beautiful stuff. Thanks for mentioning.

"Protection" is also wonderful.

Two recent releases from DataObscura:

Robert Davies - Cloak of Summer
Typical Davies soundscapes. But there is a real standout on this one: Of Hawthorn and Broom. I've had this on repeat most of the day.
https://dataobscura.bandcamp.com/album/cloak-of-summer

Nunc Stans - Eurydice Suite
A slightly darker collection of ambient sound spaces with the APK-defining flourishes that reward careful listening.
