Songs for Clean Minds

Elizabeth Alker drifts into the spaces in between, with transportative new music from Lotic, Grouper and Robin Richards.

Elizabeth Alker drifts to the edges of ambient and electronic music, and explores the spaces in between.

Berlin producer Lotic plunges to disquieting depths on her new album, Water, of which Elizabeth has an exclusive preview. Elsewhere, Robin Richards creates a retrospective soundtrack for Chernobyl in the form of ‘We Take the Vow’, a haunting piano composition inspired by the nuclear city of Pripyat, and the ill-fated power station situated there. And there’s something from Grouper – a reclusive, influential artist whose mesmerising dream-pop finds new clarity on her latest album, Shade.
