Soundkeeper
by Gunn-Truscinski Duo
supported by 46 fans who also own “Balsams”
Dear Steve and John, your music is my companion for some weeks now, when I walk through the streets, when I read some books, when I’m thinking about the poor pandemic life we have. Now I need it physically, on vinyl, just to listen to it. It’s not post-rock to me, it’s avant-dream. Thank you very much.

New Vanitas
by William Tyler
Silver Ladders
by Mary Lattimore
supported by 42 fans who also own “Balsams”
I'm not sure why I didn't listen to this sooner. I guess I thought "well obviously it'll be good, I'll come back later". Since buying I've listened twice in a day. This album is beautiful, both in a soothing relaxing way but more importantly in a heart-wrenching and painfully anguished way.

OCCULTING DISK
by Deathprod
The first new LP under Helge Sten’s Deathprod moniker in 15 years is patiently, glacially aggressive.

Calming Signals
by Rich Ruth
Beatific electroacoustic music where saxophone, strings, synth, and bass pool out to create calm streams of sound.

Undulations
by Puscha
An icy, immersive ambient track from Puscha, where synths clang like church chimes and howl like wind.

The Ground Our Sky
by Saariselka
supported by 42 fans who also own “Balsams”
The sub-genre of Ambient Americana is going from strength to strength because of releases like this. Chuck Johnson's slide playing like a silvery spider web, whilst Marielle Jakobsons' voice and keyboards an ethereal cloud. What this album offers is a genuine 'deep listening' experience, as blissful, meditative and compelling as its gorgeous cover image. From the first note to the last, this is haunting, life-affirming music. Let it lift your spirit and carry you away.
