Drifts and descants

Elizabeth Alker with a late-night journey through new music from today’s most exciting genre-defying artists.

Join Elizabeth Alker with a selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists as we journey through landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds. Along the way, we'll hear from emerging independent producers whose work plays with orchestral textures and classical form as well as the latest sounds from a new generation of contemporary composers whose sound is infused with the spirit of rock, pop and electronica. This week: propulsive, synth-led textures from Danish duo Svaneborg Kardyb, Remorae's electronic take on an Appalachian folk song, and country music guitar aesthetics fused with ambient sensibilities in the music of New York trio SUSS.
