Concrete Husband - Where The Ashes Glow (2026)

Concrete Husband’s Where The Ashes Glow marks an ascent for the NYC-based flutist, producer, and composer, an artist Document Magazine hailed as “redefining avant-garde composition.” A conservatory-trained flutist and composer with roots in contemporary classical practice and the sensory extremities of the NYC techno underground, Carlos Aguilar shapes his new album as a study in interiority under pressure. Earlier works Piel and Pelvic Resonance contained this split in tension, manifesting as microtonal bedroom ambient compositions and driving, rhythmic force. Where The Ashes Glow folds these impulses into a single, continuous material. Flute, noise, breath, field recordings and percussion blur and mirror the pace, disconnection, and beauty of his home.

Informed by his fluency across musical histories and his instinct for sonic narratives that are emotionally resonant and architecturally precise, Where The Ashes Glow is Concrete Husband’s most fully integrated work to date: a chamber-electronic ritual of erosion, renewal, and the tender, glowing clarity that follows combustion.
