from Bandcamp’s best Ambient albums of 2021
“There has been a small, but growing, crop of musicians pursuing what they call “emo ambient,” highlighting the unspoken connections between the emotive effusiveness of the former and the intimate nature of the latter. But long before its contemporary conception, Dntel—the musical project of Jimmy Tamborello—was pursuing the possibilities of that combination, collaborating most notably with Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard on music that was equally emotional and atmospheric. On Futurangelics, Tamborello worked remotely with Austin-based ambient composer More Eaze and Portland’s Brin to create low, droning tones that evoke both Eno and emo. On “Lauren iii,” guitar chords echo over quiet, processed vocals. The lyrics are barely decipherable, but words are hardly the point: Distorted by layers of reverb, all that remains is the pure emotion, radiating with an undeniably affecting ambiance.”
