Daryl Groetsch – Fathoms
Self-released digitally on 6 April 2026
Listen at Bandcamp
“Fathoms is a frictionless listen, but there’s a stubborn sense of craft to it, and that’s what distinguishes it from the streaming-era onslaught of music with little purpose except to be pleasant. Groetsch is a classically trained composer with an ear for ambiguous chord resolutions, and his sound design is flawless for its purposes. There was a moment where a synth tone on ‘Radiant Stratum’ shone with such a luster I could’ve sworn I was hearing Laraaji…” –Pitchfork

“A masterwork of synthesizer programming and sound design, Tide Pools is an impressive and absorbing evocation of our natural world and its countless organisms moving in concert and chaos.” –The Wire
“Ambient synthesist Daryl Groetsch’s third album for Hausu Mountain is one of his proggiest and most challenging, a head-spinning trip through a low-res waterworld.” –Pitchfork
