French artist and producer WØLZT invites listeners to step into the maze of his music with his new album, Tapes From The Maze. This three-track instrumental release introduces a genre he calls "hypnagogic rock," a blend of ambient textures and electronic undertones that brings a subtle intensity to each track. The songs unfold slowly, designed to pull listeners deeper into their rich, dreamlike atmosphere.
The album begins with “Noise,” an eleven-minute piece that builds gradually, layering eerie sounds to set a haunting tone. As pads float in and out, a quiet suspense grows, making it easy to lose track of time. “Driving Out” follows, weaving together ambient and electronic vibes to create a cinematic feel—each shift in sound evokes movement, like the slow crawl of headlights on an empty road. Finally, the closing track, “Signal,” wraps the album in an otherworldly calm, almost meditative in its simplicity.
Tapes From The Maze* doesn’t rush; it invites you to take your time and sink into its space. With each listen, the textures reveal something new, encouraging a kind of introspection rarely found in fast-paced music. If you're into post-rock, ambient, or just looking for something that sits outside the mainstream, this album is worth exploring.
