Listening Recommendations

Arushi Jain – Under the Lilac Sky / Ever get high and Listen to some synth ragas? No, dude — me neither – Revolt of the Apes

Harold Budd / Brian Eno – The Pavilion of Dreams / A pink pearl necklace of galleries, diffused in soft light. Overhead, a lofted crystal glass ceiling opens to a night jeweled with stars. Meanwhile, a gallery of Greek masks watches on, mouths agape. A soft hiss of air shivers palm trees and fern fronds – J. Simpson

Maggi Payne – Ahh-Ahh (Aguirre) / blowing my tiny mind – Kraus

Fran – Leaving / played on a bill last night w/ this excellent singer & writer of songs, Fran aka Maria. loving her LP this morning – my friends call me 5

Ak’chamel – A Mournful Kingdom of Sand (Akuphone) / Second LP proper from the mysterious Ak’chamel, Giver Of Illness on the always intriguing Akuphone label – a perfectly titled, outernational trip into mystical Sahrawi acid folk… – De Selby

Nobukazu Takemura – Icefall / This was the last time I was genuinely shocked by a piece of music, not knowing how it had been created or what the influences were. Which might suggest I don’t get out much. But whatever, it’s still amazing – Lyndon

White Hills – Pull Back the Bolt / I just recently came across this excellent cover of Minimal Man’s “Pull Back the Bolt” (from Safari) by @WhiteHillsMusic from 2017 – Who Cares Anyway

Falconetti – A History Of Skyscrapers (This Is It Forever) / Randomly popped up on my iTunes today, and beautifully apt for the weather at the moment.
