Episode 137: October New Music: The Gargoyles of Vyônes and INFINITY VOL.II
Support Night Clerk Radio on PatreonAnother episode already?! That's right! We're working to return to our regular release schedule. In this episode, we're diving into some new October music. As usual, we've got two albums: Ross stayed on theme for spooky month with a unique take on plunderphonics and dungeon synth from Magnum Innominandum, drawing inspiration from classic cosmic horror. Birk immediately jumped on that brand new Navigateur album, which offers an eclectic blend of genres and masterful production. We hope you join us in checking out these albums and supporting these artists.Shout OutsLego Pirates: 1989-1996 by Dreamcastle™Lost Secrets by Notorious Secret & Lost Traveler ロスト"Tennis, Everyone?" — A Tribute to the Late, Great James O.

September New Music: VIDEOFUNK and Leviathan
Support Night Clerk Radio on PatreonIn this episode, we're diving into some new September music. With summer coming to a close, it seems we were both inspired to explore some of our favorite comfort genres. For Birk, that's the hazy and nostalgic VIDEOFUNK, a unique blend of vaporwave, signalwave, and future funk from FIJI島の水. For Ross, it's the evocative and cinematic dark ambient of Leviathan by NoRinTon.

August New Music: Xeeland and Nmesh
Support Night Clerk Radio on PatreonIt’s time for our August new music episode. This time there’s no obvious overarching theme between our picks so no clever episode title, sorry! We’re starting off with Master Builder by Xeeland, an album that takes you on an evocative journey through the horrors of brutalist architecture. Then we’re heading off to Hawaii for The Molokai Compendium by Nmesh, a richly produced and deeply layered plunderphonic adventure inspired by one of the best bad movies of all time.
