After the amiable lo-fi debut If I Am Only My Thoughts, Loving makes a self-proclaimed “sonic leap” on sophomore stunner Any Light. Of course, this seamless transition to the studio is a credit to the Canadian duo’s charmingly unwavering formula. With delayed vocals that don’t kick in until nearly two minutes, the gentle acoustic strum of the title track sets the perfect tone for this remarkably intimate collection of songs.
Fosse :: Ground
Fosse’s footprint on music may be small, but there are worlds contained within his releases. Since 2018, SF-based synth and guitar voyager Tyler Chamberlain has shared three sets of recordings—his evocatively titled 2018 debut, Spelunking with Marbles in my Mouth and Fireflies in my Pocket; an instrumental MBV cover given Kevin Shields’ blessing; and now this collaboration with alto saxophonist Ben Almén and guitarist Gyan Riley (son of Terry).
