Old Boston band Cul de Sac. Often lumped in with post rock but pretty unique. Check out China Gate, Death of the Sun or ECIM.

Great stuff!
I’ve seen them several times. Always excellent!
In fact, one of my first serious musical collaborators engineered all or almost all of their records, including the beautifully insane one with the late great John Fahey, The Epiphany of Glen Jones.
Fahey told my friend that he got the best sounding recording of his guitar…
Robin Amos, the Cul de Sac synth player, was previously in a Boston band called The Girls, who I saw at the Modern Theater opening for Gong on April 21,1979…. Third eye cranked wide open for that one, the whole theater might as well have been levitating

Brian Eno’s album FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE is one of my favourite albums of 2022.
Here’s the new video for the track ‘Garden of Stars’

Today is 21 years since Michael Karoli, guitarist & founding member of CAN, passed away.
His playing was a huge influence on me and his absence is felt keenly today.
I wrote a tribute of sorts for Folk Radio UK back in 2015.

Listening to my new album November Meadow. It was entirely made using Norns, mostly orgnwrms and barcode. A very chill, fall, sound collage-inspired album. Enjoy.

Highly recommend the new Daniel Bachman album, Almanac Behind.
From the bandcamp page:
"Weather is happening.
From the heart of Delhi, to Tangier Island. The burning redwood forests, the dying jet stream waters. It is happening to you and to me. We pump carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere by the gigaton as the cascading feedback loops of climate breakdown continue to destabilize the biosphere. Oh, the wind and rain. We have all lived it. Stunned by the unfathomable power of our Earth and a sinking derealization about our tenuous future.
“Almanac Behind” exists in this space. The title is both an anagram of Daniel Bachman’s name and a reference to the fact that rapid environmental changes have rendered traditional weather forecasting methods woefully unable to accurately predict our future. Over fifteen tracks, “Almanac Behind” guides the listener through natural disaster and its aftermath, via a series of field recordings by Bachman and his collaborators. The guitar, banjo, fiddle, and other instruments are presented in neutral modal tunings, avoiding conventional harmonic representations of mood and sentiment, and are often digitally altered in both subtle and obvious ways. At its core, “Almanac Behind” is powered by the sounds of the Earth, tones inherently familiar to the billions of people who have experienced extreme weather. It is an attempt to emotionally contend with and foster connection over a shared global experience."
