Ohr - Adapter (Self-Released)

releases May 14, 2021

Ohr is the new project from George Cory Todd, a multimedia experimental artist and engineer based in the Bay Area. Todd has put out some great releases under his own name on the always amazing Atlantic Rhythms label, notably last year’s That Dark Electric. Ohr moves in a different direction here though. Where That Dark Electric was vivid and wide open, Adapter feels almost claustrophobic in its inner-looking gaze. Birthed during the pandemic, this is perhaps to be expected though. Ohr, as you may guess from the cover art, also deals in darker textures here. Yet, Adapter never bows to the heavier weight, always crackling with energy and flowing effortlessly. The album boxes through a shadowy haze with a heavy rhythmic backbone of beats. Tracks unfold into each other refusing to stay in one place for too long. With Ohr and Adapter, Todd proves he can go wherever he wants and we should all be following along.

Ki Oni’s latest album ‘You Made It Out Of The Forest Alive’ delivers four bubbling originals that stretch and straddle between dubbed out ambient and late night club-y atmospherics. Out now on Atlantic Rhythms.

George Cory Todd's new Atlantic Rhythms full length, Icon, has the freshness and exuberance of discovery. Throughout the album's six tracks, Todd's use of space and texture shows a composer in full bloom. “I Will (Not!)” begins with soft, rhythmic repetition, like something turning in the light. A higher tone, glitching, breaches through momentarily. Everything dies down in an instant to bowed strings before synthesizers, clips and textures take over again, undulating, sounding like a collaboration between John Luther Adams and Tim Hecker. On the final, titular track “Icon,” sounds vie for the listener’s attention from deep in the background, almost making it to the fore: a frantic drum beat, someone talking. Everything glitches, then stops. Out now on Atlantic Rhythms.

‘Upon Reflection,’ is a full-length cassette of whirling experimental house originals by Washington, DC’s disc jockey journeyman and producer, Trevor Keen. The six tracks on ‘Upon Reflection’ trek an impressive terrain of styles, but remain tethered to the producer's rhythmic sensibilities. Out now on Atlantic Rhythms.

'Cheap Storage,' an album of rainy day electronics and left-field beat inquiries from Los Angeles-based producer, DJ, and music scribe, Maymind. The seven tracks on 'Cheap Storage' were recorded live and in an improvisatory mode, making the most out of a limited set of tools — an MPC sampler / sequencer, a few small synthesizers, and a cheap vocal mic. The resulting textures are varied yet always hypnotic, and place groove and blunted atmospherics on equal footing. Out now on Atlantic Rhythms.

Iku Sakan’s latest album ‘Bloom Strings’ features three new intoxicating electronic works which is rich with subtlety, yet manages to mix both the maximal and minimal sounds. Out now on Atlantic Rhythms.
