Landers by 3HZ




I put on Landers by 3HZ with curiosity about what this recording deep in the Southern California desert, would deliver. The album kicks in with abrasive drones and a slow-building texture that feels like stepping onto a desert trail. Each sound is deliberate, pulling you further into a landscape that’s stark, endless, and slightly disorienting.

Landers is instrumental but punctuated by haunting, distant vocal elements that occasionally drift in and out, like intrusive thoughts you’re not sure are even real. This touch gives the album a surprising edge—it’s subtle but effective, making the music feel like it’s reaching into your head as much as your ears.


What stands out about Landers is the way it sticks to the process. There’s a raw honesty here, like 3HZ truly let the environment and the moment guide them. This isn’t ambient music for relaxing; it’s ambient for getting lost in. Fans of raw, experimental drone music will appreciate the commitment to letting the sound be itself—gritty, haunting, and occasionally unsettling.
