Grouper (US) has her latest – Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill – of three albums on Type Records. She has also been involved in collaborative releases, contributing a track to Xiu Xiu’s Remixed & Covered and four tracks to a split release with Inca Ore. Her other contemporaries are Belong, Growing, Tim Hecker, Windy & Carl and Atlas Sound.
Jasper TX (Sweden), with a hefty back-catalogue of releases on labels such as Miasmah, and collaborations with buddy Machinefabriek, is an essential domestic appliance in the household of conceptual music. He is comparable to artists Fennesz, Sigur Ros, Múm and Tape.
Intricate and atmospheric songsmith, Danny Saul (UK) performs with different combinations of musicians, making each gig a unique event. His forthcoming release is "Harsh, Final", and he also performs with Greg Haines as Liondialer.
Fieldhead (UK) music delights in tape hiss, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. He is also a member of The Declining Winter and Glissando. His debut album, "They Shook Hands for Hours" is released soon on Home Assembly.
Trespassers William (Seattle, US) are the duo of Matt Brown and
Anna-Lynne Williams. "Subliminally sublime and pragmatically perfect,
you would have to possess an ashtray for a heart not to feel this
coursing through your soul" (DSD Music Magazine). A new EP, The Natural
Order of Things, is set to be released on Gizeh Records. They will make
a church performance with special guests.
Glissando (Sheffield, UK) “have the kind of atmosphere that can
captivate and relax in equal measure- never before has tranquillity
sounded so urgent. While track lengths of over 10 minutes may fail to
hold the attention of the ADHD sufferers among us, with patience it
plays like a majestic dream. And it's one you'll never want to wake up
from." NME
Operations (Chris Anderson) is a Manchester based conceptual music
producer and sound artist. He performs and records with an array of
analog synths and effects, reel-to-reel tape and casette players, and
guitars. Followers of Tim Hecker, Slowdive, Fennesz, Godspeed You!
Black Emperor, Stephen O'Malley, Type and 12K Records will surely nod
in approval.

Svarte Greiner (Deaf Center/Miasmah/Type) explores deep into a dark, mysterious and disturbing universe. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Earth, Volcano the Bear, David Darling & Deathprod, the music is draped in Lynchian mysticism and horror film cinematics. "The music of Svarte Greiner is practically perfect. It's like that sound in our heads we've been imagining for ages but had never actually heard." - Type Records.
The Sight Below (Rafael Anton Irisarri/Miasmah/Immune) draws as much on modern genre progenitors like Brian Eno, Robin Guthrie and My Bloody Valentine as it does from the more historic traditions in neo-classicism from Erik Satie and Olivier Messiaen. His album Glider has appeared on Thom Yorke's radar in making the Radiohead's lynchpin's top ten playlist.
His debut album Navigare soon to feature on the Miasmah label, Simon Scott (former Slowdive) is set to be a household name in conceptual music. Simon is the former Slowdive drummer, co-producer of Televise, producer of Seavault, and owner of KESH Recordings label.
