Listening Recommendations

Oren Ambarchi / Johan Berthling / Andreas Werliin – Ghosted (Drag City) /  Could not believe my eyes yesterday when I stumbled upon this in the Oto racks. I saw Ghosted last year, and it was an incredible, trance-inducing experience. But even before then, the vinyl was long sold out everywhere. Well, sometimes you get lucky – Dalton

Michael Grigoni – Field Notes / Playful, dreamy and slightly melancholic ambient guitar EP, featuring different kinds of guitars. Very lovely. – Crows Labyrinth

Hand Habits – Placeholder (Saddle Creek) (via Brent Thomas)
