氷床 Earth - 暗い自然 [Dark Nature]

[2016]

One of the best ambient albums from the last ten years. I guess 暗い自然 [Dark Nature] come at ambient from a vaporwave angle but there are sequences here that could have come straight out of the 90s Isolationism era of dark ambient. The recontextualised source material is chopped and slopped, slowed down, put through a hypnagogic echo chamber and into a fog machine creating superior dark ambience and sonic decay. Amongst the cold and murky terrain an eerie and sombre mood descends.
