Sweden’s Kali Malone dreams of clear, wide, open spaces on her boundary-pushing, texture-forward minimalist bubble bath LP Living Torch.

This is a GRM production, so expect tracks with plenty of breathing room in the running time, allowing the compositions to evolve in unexpected ways. The power of Malone’s work on Living Torch can be heard in the infinitesimal transformations happening in the synth-laden soundscape, stretching past our mind’s ear like the moon’s surface silently screaming by the window of a lunar module.

Our highlighted track “Living Torch II” heats up with ominous intensity at the midway point before finding a quieter resolution. Whether it’s a conclusion describing a state of peace or despair, who can say.
