Melanchoholics - A Single Act Of Carelessness (MNDR / Deafborn)
Label info: "Building on the experimentations from their debut CD (with a mix of field-recordings, guitars, electronically manipulated sounds and spoken word fragments), Melanchoholics walk new paths by exploring several acoustic instruments (such as cello and accordion) and add various sources for drones to their gloomy mélange." Recommended for those who enjoy Magwheels, Aidan Baker and Troum.

The Missing Ensemble - Hidden Doors (Mondes Elliptiques / Angle Records)
Label info: "[...] John Sellekaers (Xingu Hill, Dead Hollywood Stars), Daniel De Los Santos (Tamarin) and Mathias Delplanque (Lena, Bidlo) open us the door to a universe whose maze conceals a multitude of other doors. Some are half-open, others are closed and many are, at first sight, invisible. As we explore further, we must let those secret doors some time to take shape, to reveal themselves... and it will then be possible to fix our attention on various aspects of the sound labyrinth that is presented to us, to come and go while letting ourselves be carried by the waves and the modulations, which then become our exploratory vehicle and form one body with us in the journey. Indeed, many doors are hidden, but they are awaiting to be discovered, probed... Behind them, fullness or emptiness..."

New album from this Moscow-based project known for previous releases on Waystyx and Drone Records. Using a wide array of analog soviet synthesizers (ANS, Polyvox, Yunost-21, Formanta to name a few) and acoustic instruments such as the violin, the accordion and the piano, Evgeny Voronovsky composes melodic electro-acoustic music which creates an emotional link with the listener instead of dwelling in self-indulgence. Definitely headphones material.

Miguel A. Ruiz - Grosor (Monochrome Vision)
Label info: "This is the new, remastered version of classic material recorded back in 80s, next to postindustrial aesthetics priority in electronic music. Rigorous and austere, ascetic but dynamic, this music rearranges everyday being into mind-challenging imagination, reserving the leading parts for the habitual processes and domestic objects.
From the deep underground of Spanish industrial music, it comes to be rediscovered after 15 years."

h.h.t.p. & portablepalace - Cavitation (Monochrome Vision)

Dvar - Rakhilim (Monopoly)
A personal favorite and definitely an acquired taste, Dvar is a mysterious Russian band that makes music ideally suited for drunken gnomes and overworked elves, complete with otherworldly vocals and cartoonish melodies. Hysterically joyful at times, desperately melancholic at others, Dvar is always completely off the charts in the best way possible and this is definitely one of their highest points so far.
