KAGAMI Smile - Ghost Dream (2021)

Cloud-bursting ambient techno bliss from Kagami smile. The current recording project of Ryan Hill who has seemingly ripped open a body of work which continues to spill out across a slew of contemporary electronic labels. From Dream Catalogue to VILL4IN and Ryans' own Forgot Imprint.

On 'Ghost Dream' choristic walls of peach fuzzed out ambience, more MBV than ENO, parse the hum drum of so much "hard ambient" with an ear to the cone, its pure rattling, amped ambient with a rush of clean powder to it. Tracks like 'Intangible Mirror' are a more reduced, bacterial flurry of microsound atop a low energy beam of sound. Whereas 'Whisper In The Void' is a chunkier boost of deep lo-fi techno smothered entirely by a blanket of encrusted drones. A 52 minute balm for medicinal ravers.
