Japanese solo artist Alphabet sent us this demo in July 2004. Dense yet melodic drones are reminiscent of the likes of Stars of the Lid, or Flying Saucer Attack, and swirl around sweet and haunting vocals. While "Innocentage" has a more opaque sound to the gentler "Sound of the Snow" (which comes over like a cross between Slowdive and Low), both remain eerie yet seductive.

Japanese artist Alphabet sent a whopping five CDs full of music, not always the easiest digest, if there's such a thing as an easy to digest ten minute instrumental. Still, it was nice and reminded us of the elegaic glory of Innocentage which we just love. Four minutes of droning feedback and distorted vocals. Still, five albums of atonal guitar noise isn't exactly lite reading.
