Razen ‎– Ayîk Adhîsta Adhîsta Ayîk LP

Their most mystical album from those I've heard, it's like a mix between Stephan Micus, avant-garde jazz and drone. Superb. 2019 LP on (K-RAA-K)³.

Razen - Remote Hologram LP

 

I love it how Razen mixes seemingly incompatible genres, with Middle/Central Eastern sounds always having a very prominent role, but here with an accentuated emphasis on drone, psychedelic electronics, atonal, classical and even a slightly Irish folk track ("Rust Constellation 11). 2014 2XLP on (K-RAA-K)³.

Bridget Hayden ‎– A Siren Blares In An Indifferent Ocean LP

An earlier LP to last year's excellent Pure Touch Only From Now On, They Said So, it showcases Bridget Hayden's immense ability in creating different moods within a drone/noise style. Her evil guitar noise tracks are quite similar to Lee Stokoe's Pact Of Ash project, and they sound like what it would sound like if Burzum Filosofem-era played blues (I'm sure Varg Vikernes would cringe if he read this!), while the quieter moments, in which she plays piano and violin as if in an underwater shipwreck, sound to me like African American spirituals played by ghosts. This is another amazing achievement of the North-England no-audience undeground and you must hear it. 2011 LP on (K-RAA-K)³.
