Bartosz Dziadosz - Peace (2023)


Bartosz Dziadosz is better known as pleq, but this time he released his new album under his birth name. And the results are particularly interesting both thanks to the form of the music and the atmosphere that Peace is filled with.

Perhaps the artist chose to use his own name to underline the theme of the album which is the tragic war that Russia started in Ukraine and the longing for the title's peace. Interestingly enough, the album was released by the formerly Russian label DRONARIVM, making it clear that at least some of this country's citizen feel the same about the war. The music here is an extremely ethereal take on meditative and moody ambient-like neoclassical soundscapes. It's also fairly diverse genre-wise, but the overall results are clearly mesmerizing in the beauty of the neoclassic elements and experimentally interesting.

Peace costs 5 EUR.

Aphir - The Halo Is Shapeless (2023)


Becki Whitton aka Aphir is an Australian artist whom I remember from the brilliant 2020 album called Republic of Paradise. This year's The Halo Is Shapeless is already her 6th release and it is filled with super airy, vocal-centered dreamy compositions.

This is no exaggeration: there's barely any sound on the album that isn't Whitton's angelic voice. As the label states, there are two modes the artist works in: "intricate and often dark experimental pop, and lush choral works" and so the new album definitely represents the second one. While working on the album, Whitton contemplated cataclysm and devastating events that can happen in one's life, but the compositions on the album don't have anything from the hopeless nihilism, instead, "they’re kind of like a soothing voice leading you through a change of state": beautiful and giving hope.

The compositions can sometimes undergo some glitchy, nervous treatment, but it's very rare. This album was designed to calm your nerves and offer a soundtrack for the process of self-reflection.

The Halo Is Shapeless costs 7.5 EUR (12 AUD).
