Cornelia Murr :: Different This Time

Cornelia MurrPosted on

We last caught up with Cornelia Murr on the heels of her 2018 debut, Lake Tear of The Clouds, via her Lagniappe entry covering Nina Simone and Patsy Cline. Enter 2020: in addition to recording Lake Tear's follow-up (out winter '21) Murr has made the most of lockdown by resuscitating an abandoned video shoot from the previous year. It's oddly timely, and it's great . . .

Growing :: The Soul of the Rainbow and the Harmony of Light

GROWINGPosted on

Growing’s music can be loosely defined as drone or ambient, but their body-vibrating towers of tone soar and scorch in ways often missing from those placid genres. By letting their guitar and bass buzz out into vast expanses, they are muscular but not quite metallic, hulking but never harsh . . .

Andrew Carroll :: You Are Here

Andrew Carroll Radio Free Aquarium DrunkardPosted on

On his forthcoming EP You Are Here, Los Angeles-based Lodge 49 composer and songwriter Andrew Carroll offers up a cinematic set of psychedelic pop songs—think Pet Sounds re-envisioned as a soundtrack to a lost noir gem, its character lurking in shadows cast against golden California light. Tonight on Range and Basin, part of the monthly Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard broadcast on Dublab, he joined host Jason P. Woodbury to share an advance listen of his new songs, which are presented here for advance listening ahead of their release October 30th . . .

Oliver Coates :: skins n slime

Oliver CoatesPosted on

Oliver Coates' Skins n slime is not an easy listen by any means. The record resolutely chooses to veer off-track, taking a sharp turn from its predecessor Shelley’s on Zenn-La’s experimental dance influences, into barren and decaying sonic surroundings. Except, that is, when moments of pure, keening beauty snake their way through the minuscule cracks Coates has left open, like delicate plant tendrils in search of a ray of sunshine . . .

Sonhos Secretos: Brazilian Private Press & Independent MPB On 7″ (1980-1985)

MixtapesPosted on

Sonhos Secretos, or Secret Dreams in English, alludes to the quiet aspirations of those that made these independent and privately released recordings as well as to the fact that many of these tracks have long remained essentially a secret. It's also, to some extent, a reference to a certain dream-like quality that permeates this collection . . .
