I don't think I've ever been this surprised not to find an album on the BEA database, or to find so little media coverage. I can't think of many people this wouldn't appeal to in some way. This album is achingly beautiful, like a more ambient Grizzly Bear or a slightly more accessible version of late-era Talk Talk. He has a really great voice, and the arrangements are sparse and imaginative and totally captivating. Actually now that I'm reading up, looks like this was released more recently than I thought. Anyway, let me know what you guys think.
Loved this, but less than expected since I have a weakness for this kind of thing. Maybe missing a bit of the fuzziness of Broadcast? More clean + more reverb? Maybe I would have liked it better with a drier sound? But those reverby effects are kind of part of its whole shtick. I don't know.
I had one of her tracks on a playlist to remind me to listen to this. Don't know why it took me this long. Really lush instrumentation, great voice, happy feelings inside all day long.
So I just discovered that Steve Reich has dabbled in tape music, and this might be my new favourite Reich album. The tape loops in the first half and electronic components in the second half both add this wonderful dreamlike quality to his formula. The tape loops somehow create a feeling of urgency rather than stability. A vivid sense of urgency. Like zooming in on a looped recording that contains vital evidence regarding a murder realizing the villain is getting on a plane to Istanbul and you only have half an hour to stop him. The second half is much more floaty and serene, and it's always cool to see what qualities are brought out of an instrument when it's used in a Reich composition.
Oh man that sounds rad, I'll have to check that. I think I have a few blind spots on Reich's tape business that I should rectify.
Oh hey also I'm visiting family and my bro was playing me this new VHS Head stuff, have you heard it? There was an EP that just came out but I guess the tracks were all on some sort of mix that came out earlier this year or something that I also missed, have you heard tho? It's really excellent stuff.

Oh nice, I just looked it up, "Sarah Eat Neon", right? I've listened to "Bleep Mix" on soundcloud and yeah it's just brilliant. Will listen to new EP post-haste.
