Lately I’ve been enjoying The Remote Viewer’s lovely crackling and popping drum programming.

I remember hearing this for the first time. It was the first date with the one I have now been with for 13 years. Also the first country song I liked.

David Rawlings has to be one of if not the greatest accompanist of all time. His playing and harmonizing and phrasing are always spot on.

Son Lux, Flickers — I absolutely love the textures they create with a mixture of acoustic and electronic instruments. This is true of the entire album.
Researcher, Nothing Nowhere — I love the unexpectedness of the melodies and harmonies he puts together, along with the sound he creates.
Thom Yorke, FellingPulledApartByHorses — a gem I had somehow overlooked from his discography. The drums on that track are insane.
(it’s not on SoundCloud!)

I was a total Phil Elverum junkie when he started releasing stuff, but it’s been a while since I even gave him a thought. I’ve missed so much…
His latest releases have made me hold my breath while listening to his honest words, cried, smiled and fallen asleep to the songs. It’s been a long long time since any type of music has grasped me in such a profunding way.
Thank you, Phil.

natalie is really making the most of this newfound Sub Pop budget! the new songs and accompanying videos have all been stunning IMO - i can’t wait for Titanic Rising.
she has a way of making the most stupidly simple sentiment (here, literally “i love movies”) sound unsettling and beautiful and perverse. also… is that a sample of people kissing in the background toward the end? love her.

I was friends with Nat back in the day — inthe Philly day – it’s been really cool to watch her metamorphose from woody drone tone to these mini pocket operas! : - )

“Eleven solo performances on the Serge analog modular system.
The Serge is named for Serge Tcherepnin, one of the pioneers of analog modular synthesis, who designed the system in the 1970s. I first used a Serge in 1983, and over the next three decades performed and recorded in many different duet and ensemble settings. This is my first collection of solo performances on the Serge. I’ve never tried to repeat anything on this instrument, preferring to celebrate the chaotic spontaneity of cascading relationships of waves interacting with waves. No other instruments or signal processing - this is pure Serge analog sound.”

very cool transformation! i only got into her music around the time front row seat to earth came out. funny - i lived in philly between 2009 and 2016 while i was at Temple and then for a few years after that, and i was totally unaware of that scene. her first album definitely sounds like it could have come out of somewhere in west philly…

France Jobin + Richard Chartier collaboration - she did one of my fave albums of the last couple of years, and he did one of my fave gigs, so I was very excited to stumble upon this!

this record is really good
i guess really its an aesthetic hybriding of two very on-trend niches (but thats cool bc i like them both) - 90s japanese ambient and ‘lofi beats to chill/study to’. its really well articulated and has staying power.
