Muscut Vinyl & CDs

Review: Ganna Bryzhata aka Bryozone hails from the historic Black Sea port city of Odesa and plays bass in Chillera, a dub trio with a psyched-out take on space rock. Now her ever shape shifting electroacoustic experiments arrive in the form of a solo debut album that has been long awaited by fans. It is an ambient album of highly serene quality that tracks an effortless nautical flow as well as hitting at industrial dud-scapes. There is an alluring wistfulness in the melodies and ethereal loops and icy, atonal drones that really keeps you locked in throughout.

Review: This a compilation that means more than just good music - 100% of label profits from the sales will be donated to Livyj Bereh, a group of volunteers based in Kyiv who are working in regions affected by the war. It is a superb collection of mellow sounds and ambient atmospheres with some surprising leftfield cuts and curious curveballs along the way. First up, curating the A-side, is Ukrainian Muscut who has turned to artists from his homeland only - Kavkazka Sound, Radiant Futur, Mlin Patz, Iury Lech and Ihor Okuniev all contribute while Estonian Mida then takes care of the flip with Portuguese trio Niagara in between Estonians Maarja Nuut, Rotrum, Luurel Varas and Terry Long Hermy.
