about

Exhausted Calm was recorded entirely on analog synthesizers during the 2020 COVID lockdown in Jamestown, Washington. Increasingly bothered and overwhelmed by the 24/7 news onslaught, I stopped watching and reading all forms of news; this removal of constant, low-level dread and anxiety was followed by disengaging from social media for about half a year, adding to the pandemic's required physical isolation. It's like the feeling of relief to the period after experiencing an intense pain which finally subsides; all that is left is a low, throbbing, exhausted calm that completely takes over. This album is the exhausted calm of severing ties to the outside world for several months.

Node 2 (DiN44)
by Node

I'm a huge fan of analog synths, and this album really shows what incredibly talented musicians can do with said synths. Some simply gorgeous songs here. Corey Holms

Night on Ouddorp
by EFSS (Erren Fleissig Schöttler Steffen)

I'm a little partial to the Berlin School style of music, and this album scratches that itch really nicely. If you like hypnotic sequencer driven music, you'll absolutely love this album. Corey Holms

Church (DiN35)
by ARC

Typically I don't like live electronic albums, but Arc is possibly better live than in the studio. They are an act that I am genuinely disappointed I've never been able to see live. Corey Holms
