I really like the first hype williams record for hiking, very much in that lo-fi headspace but appropriately propulsive/meditative.

was going around sai kung in hk earlier this year and thought the light lps were really good for that, in particular turning.

(the record proper isn't as indiscriminately shoegaze-y as those tracks, they're pretty much the only song-based pieces. most of it is drifting melodic figures and drones a la fsa)


in terms of more straight-up ambient stuff, can't go wrong with alex gray's (d/p/i, dreamcolour, sun araw) stuff as deep magic

nice! i'm digging these tunes

did you heard new solo stuff from Arcade's Fire violinist Sarah Kneufeld? just heard this track on radio while brushing my teeth this morning. 3 min. was enough to take me somewhere far away...

https://soundcloud.com/sarahkneufeld...light-comes-in

"“Where The Light Comes In” is a piece I wrote in a moment of peace. Those glorious seconds where all is quiet and open and green and the thoughts that form are snowflakes instead of lists of details and reminders. Pure deep water that never ends.
I hope you enjoy. Take it with you to bed!

Glad you enjoyed it!

The guy who runs the label has a radio show every Monday night from 10pm-midnight PST on Holow Earth Radio. You can also stream the shows via The Edge Of The Ape Oven mixcloud page.

i heard it the last time on radio, very interesting.

Holy Fuck. Sounds like the Chemical Brothers went and bought a guitar.

The for carnation. yawn.

Sorry you feel that way. I really like the new Holy Fuck record, and don't think it sounds anything like Chemical Brothers at all. Also, Chemical Brothers did feature guitars in many tracks over the years, so..
But really, sorry you're not liking it.

Re: the For Carnation- I think this is the first time I've ever heard this group mentioned here, which seems odd. But I sometimes forget they ever existed, so whatever.

I recently played the '07 Touch and Go re-release of Promised Works for the first time in forever and quite in enjoyed it. If you're "yawning" because you're bored by the For Carnation, I'd recommend listening to something that doesn't bore you. If it's because you're tired, I'd recommend a nap. :)

The condescension is strong in this one.

The For Carnation is as dull as it gets!

Not my intention at all. Sorry if it sounded that way.

Otis gritty feel it in yr blood Redding

I feel good going soul man grocery shopping.

Damon Smith Trio - Color Architecture

I had never heard of this, so I previewed several tracks and then bought the album. :)

This is some weird ass dissonant shit man. At once extremely unsettling and rather beautiful.

nope! no way im checking that out. it's Saturday and you should be doing something else.

LL cool J - Yo Mama said knock you out

the Clean - anthology

don't point that thing at me is one of my fav songs.

I've tried to like The Bats but noughting. The Clean had the jams."whatever I do is right" indie session.

Very cool!

What I'm finding out is Damon and his label are in Houston. He has several different acts he is involved with and plays with some regularity around town. I hope to catch him live one day.
