@cdbaby.com has really screwed me over on my recent album. Release day was a month ago and it's still not on streaming services. Customer service is out to lunch. After 16 years I will be switching distributors.

I reviewed the beautiful new album from Daryl Groetsch (who also makes records under the name Pulse Emitter), a lush collection of ambient soundscapes representing the depths of the ocean.
Daryl Groetsch has given the ocean depths an eerie sense of calm and adventure, ranking among the finest #ambient soundscapes in recent memory.

Big thanks to Daniel Bromfield @pitchfork.com for this excellent review.
“Fathoms is a frictionless listen, but there’s a stubborn sense of craft to it, and that’s what distinguishes it from the streaming-era onslaught of music with little purpose except to be pleasant.”
