American producer Brian Leeds, aka Huerco S., had one of the biggest ambient releases of the 2010s with For Those of You Who Have Never (And Also Those Who Have), but he’s got a complicated relationship with the genre: “It’s like productivity music, capitalist music. It’s non-intrusive, it doesn’t get in your way, like you can still work your job. It kinda makes me cringe a bit.” This could explain why his 2022 album, Plonk, is harder to categorise.
