Ambient Music Releases of the Week: December 6, 2024

Dreamless Sleep EP – The Black Dog

The Black Dog have released this 4-track EP to further explore the concept they introduced in their full-length, Sleep Deprivation, that they call Neither Neither, but more specifically the deep, non-REM sleep where the brain restores itself and you lose conscious awareness.

Mosaic – Fennesz

This one got my off guard…new Fennesz? Christian Fennesz used a strict “9-5” work schedule in a new studio space to record this emotional album, without a break, from the end of 2023 to summer 2024.

Paris – Nils Frahm

Recorded at the Philharmonie de Paris, this is Frahm’s first live album. In a recent interview, Frahm called out most classical venues’ “arrogant attitude towards pop music,” how they focused on profit, and how they did not support artists. In contrast, he said the Philharmonie de Paris were verysupportive and charged reasonable rates.
