Album Drop: AVA by @KeOSz. Dark, atmospheric Ambient that crafts an oddly beautiful soundscape of deep drones, pulsing bass, gentle guitars and soothing strings, building and developing these layers as each track progresses in different ways, some more dramatic than others.

Album Drop: The Eyes of Power by @SignumRegis. Melodic Power Metal that nails the anthemic atmosphere out the park, soaring high with a consistent, classic sound that really grows on you, not pushing for innovation, instead mastering each facet of the genre to make a great listen

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: Ouroboros by @TDMband. Calling back to an earlier time of music, this album is Celtic Folk led by a strong female vocal reinforced by a variety of acoustic instruments for an altogether satisfying sound that invites you into a warm mead hall full of allies.

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: Cornerstone by This Misery Garden. Dark yet throbbing with energy cultivated from a deep sense of melancholy, this album is Gothic Metal that pumps grinding guitar and bouncy bass over strong male vocals and clean percussion for a satisfying, yet emotional listen.

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: Return to Alvograth by @futurecopx. Featuring gentle vocals, warm bass, aesthetic synths and balanced percussion, this album is a unique combination of Synthwave and Ambient with a soft and soothing sound that keeps you riding the neon highway at a more relaxed pace.

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: Hyperion by Zombie Hyperdrive. With gyrate inducing rhythms abundant, this album is groovy Synthwave, that doesn't push the genre to anywhere new or unfound, but instead lies consistent and bear with neon pride emblazoned on every aspect of the arrangement. Brilliant.

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: Sway by @tapedeckmt. This album glistens with reverb under a waterfall of effects, ready to immerse you in the deep Shoegaze aesthetic focused on introspective guitar licks and balanced percussion giving small amounts of space for reserved vocals and gritty bass.

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: Origin by @jordanrakei. This album is personal, soothing R&B that makes use of a variety of instruments including the leading, falsetto heavy vocals and synths that guide and drive. Each track is lovingly detailed making for a smile inducing listen each and every time

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: Compassion by @ForestSwords. This album is a phenomenally fresh mix of Plunderphonics and Trip Hop, breathing new life into music itself thanks to the despondent ambience combined with a hint of light, crafting a deep, intensely creative fantasy ready to be explored.

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: Américas by Strunz & Farah. Latin Jazz with a passionate slant on virtuosic guitar performance, flickering between two different guitarists as they vie to lead the track with a vast array of solos, sounds and techniques on display. A relaxing, but respectable listen.

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: Joined Ends by @dorianconcept. Inherently complex yet ideally beautiful, this album is diverse IDM that uses an incredible amount of beautiful synths, reinforced by clean percussion, unusual samples and warm bass to make for an experience that deserves appreciation.

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: Living With Ghosts As Buildings With Teeth by @rishlooband. Elegant Prog Rock that borrows from Rock Operas to build a depth of musical prowess that glows thanks to its powerful vocals and soothing technicality, floating towards a more ethereal strength over brutal.

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: Acoustic Garden by Tingstad & Rumbel. An album filled with charming acoustic Chamber Jazz, largely led by guitar, woodwind and strings reinforced by bass, piano and percussion all softly arranged to make for a subtle, entrancing gem of folky bliss.

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: Shadows of the sun by @ULVEROFFICIAL. Experimental Dark Ambient with a deep, powerful vocal part pushing it forward. Featuring a vast array of instruments and concepts, this album is relaxing in a strange way, capturing an unusual sense of melancholy that grows on you

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: The Shape of Colour by @Intervalsmusic. A charmingly upbeat instrumental Prog Metal album that focuses on savage guitar work and an atmosphere like a racing game. Add in balanced percussion, warm bass and the occasional solo feature and you've got a fantastic listen.

[Cottonear @CottonEarPromo]

Album Drop: A Small Murmuration by @Snow_Ghosts. Unusual but emotive, this album is vocally driven Trip Hop that leans heavily on Gothic textures and ambience, exploring complex percussion, string and synth arrangements that grind together to make dynamic explosions of beauty.
