Arthur Dreamlike chaotic electronica from a talented producer, Horny Cricket is the best stuff under the musical radars right now

0 fucks Surprisingly catchy outsider keyboards, something I’d put in my favourite tonic obscurities folder.

Bjorn Buxz Clashing multiple cultures and genres, istimta is actually way ahead of the general scene. Be sure to check the previous release!

about

The album title is a Romanization of the Arabic word إِسْتِمْتَاع, which means jouissance or enjoyment.

For an optimal experience of sonic enjoyment, listen to this synthomatic album with high-fidelity headphones.

Tortoise, Vangelis, Jarre, Ye, Tyler, Mounib, and Jarret inspired some of the sounds on this album. However, there are always unconscious sources of inspiration of which we are unaware!

released January 16, 2023

LOVESCOPE
by SIR-VERE

supported by 29 fans who also own “istimtā'”

I totally love the sophistication behind Sir-Vere’s songwriting - one might even think it’s simplistic and primitive, but after many years of digging into progressive and technical music I’d say it takes way more skill to compose and record something as big as LOVESCOPE. Kochan
