oh heck yes

 

Want it now :D?

 

Nah, thx tho.

These are out btw!

 

So is this.

 

By The Throat is 10 years old next week. 10 years!!!!! How has it been 10 years already??

 

This came out today. Seems like reworks of Riceboy Sleeps songs and some new ones. Really beautiful.

 

can someone make a list of 5-10 of the best albums to come out in the last couple years, ive literally only listened to the two tim hecker albums lol

 

Tough ask but ill try tomorrow.

 

I think the below all fall under the loose umbrella of “ambient” music. Some of my favorites off the top of my head:

Kara-Lis Coverdale - Grafts (You have to hear this if you’re a Tim Hecker fan.)
Bibio - Phantom Brickworks
Chuck Johnson - Balsams
Gas - Narkopop (and Rausch)
Bing & Ruth - No Home of the Mind
Sarah Davachi - Vergers
Clarice Jensen - For This From That Will Be Filled
Fennesz - Agora
Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - Tracing Back The Radiance

From what I’ve heard, The Caretaker’s latest project is one of the best releases of the decade, but I have only listened to the first few “stages” so far.

In considering what will make my AOTD list I’ve been working on lately, I have been wondering what a top 10 ambient list would like. I feel like I discover someone new every time I open this thread, so I’m sure there are some notable releases I’ve missed over the past 10 years, especially since I didn’t really get into ambient music until a few years ago.

 

That's a good list. I still plan on making mine tomorrow. In the meantime, it's a great ambient release day. My first listen is this, now before bed.

 

New Wanderwelle out today. It's beautiful.

 

thiswas great - good job on finishing the sketches IMO

 

good list but no Ian William Craig or Sean McCann??? :P

I would also add Migrations In Rust, Le Berger and Sparkling Wide Pressure

not to mention all modern classical that falls in the ambient spectrum like that 8 hr Max Richter album & AWVFTS

 

Here's my list of the best from the last few years, not ranked. It's long- I couldn't help myself. I tried not to overlap with @Gjpeace and @Horrorca's choices. Probably missing a bunch, but oh well. I'm always looking for recommendations btw.

GAS - Rausch (though his discography is flawless)
Joseph Shabason - Aytche
Yagya - Stars and Dust
Roedelius and Tim Story - Lunz 3
Huerco S. - For Those Of Who Have Never (And Also Those Who Have)
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - EARS (The Kid is also incredible- can't call it ambient tho)
Mary Lattimore - Hundreds of Days
Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - On the Echoing Green
Geotic - Traversa
Kyle Bobby Dunn - From Here to Eternity
Bvdub - Drowning in Daylight
Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement - Ambient Black Magic
2814 - 新しい日の誕生
Klara Lewis and Simon Fisher Turner - Care
Jon Hassell - Listening to Pictures (this one is so damn good)
Rafael Anton Irisarri - The Shameless Years
Kelly Moran - Ultraviolet
Orquesta de las Nubes - The Order of Change
Meitei - Kwaidan
Suplington - Repeating Flowers
The Caretaker - Everywhere at the end of time
M. Geddes Gengras - Light Pipe
DJ Healer - Nothing 2 Loose

 

Ian William Craig is a big one, yeah. I made that list right before falling asleep, so I knew I would miss somebody. A Turn of Breath is an all-time favorite of mine; I can't believe I forgot about him. I've never been able to get into Sean McCann, but I'll try again sometime this week.

 

Sad my list got no attention

Anyway, I saw this wasn't posted and this came out last Friday. It's excellent, RIYL Hammock, A Winged Victory for the Sullen, Olafur Arnalds, and the like.

 

I definitely paid attention to it! I just don’t post often enough. I know a little over half of the albums you listed, but I’ve added the rest to listen to throughout the next week. (I usually start my mornings with an ambient album or two.) Listened to Yagya this morning. It was great. Gave me Gas vibes at times, which is really all I need to say.

 

This came out recently. Enjoying it a lot at the moment.

RIYL: Eluvium, Goldmund, piano-ambient

 

riyl: lotic, dedekind cut, kareem lofty

riyl: clarinet-based ambient, jazz-ambient

riyl: marsen jules, celer, pausal

 

On first listen, the closing track on that Marcus Fischer album, “On April 29th,” is one of my favorite ambient tracks released this year.

 

April 29th is my birthday :D

 

This also came out yesterday:

 

Don't miss this incredibly intricate piece of work. Literally top 5 of the year for me. Incredible shit.

 

This is excellent. Thanks for sharing!
