Ambient Music Thread Genre • Page 76

I don't know the intimate details and I just looked it up for more info and it looks like whatever occurred between them on twitter has vanished from the internet. I do know KBD has mental health issues and probably needs help, but i've heard chatter about him being a self-important asshole to collaborators, etc... not sure what's going on but yeah it's unfortunate

definitely gotta pick up the SotL albums, can only imagine how beautiful they are. oof I can already feel the dent in my wallet forming.

 

What are some of the best more beat-oriented ambient records released this year?

 

beat-oriented feels hard to pin down for me. these are great 2020 ambient albums with percussion tho

 

Thanks for these. My description was intentionally vague.

 

Found this after a writer I follow on Twitter, Joshua Minsoo Kim, claimed it was the best ambient album of the 90s. It’s pretty sublime:

This collection is also pretty good:

 

Been listening to that Bing & Ruth record a lot since it came out. Love the sound of that keyboard organ.

 

Same.

 

Not sure if this was posted but it's otherworldly and lovely. Glitchy, watery, loopy, ASMR. Dude drums for the band Big Thief.

Gonna dig into the Aloof Proof album next.

edit: Aloof Proof was gorgeous, thanks for sharing @Gjpeace

 

it’s a farfisa organ I believe!

 

Yeah I've just read that in the Pitchfork review. It's a beaut.

 

This is the best ambient album so far in 2020 in my eyes. Amazing stuff.

 

Another KMRU album was released last week. Sounding good so far...

 

This is fantastic

 

been meaning to check that one out

the last Damien Dubrovnik is amazing

 

Hey ! I think some of you might like my new EP - Goya (Morii) . Give it a listen when you're in the mood to check out some new music.

 

all good stuff excited to dig deeper into this weekend

 

The more I listen to this, the more I think this might end up being my AOTY. At least top five.

 

For being such a shit year, 2020 has had some great ambient albums. Will be tough making my final list but I'm sure Roly Porter will be on it.

BTW, hope y'all are listening to that Susana López record. It's beautiful.

 

oh sick cover artwork - this merits a listen now

 

Both incredible, highly rec'd. @JM95 you'd dig the top one.

 

Still amazes me that a dude I used to hang around with at Club Kerrang! about 12/13 years ago is making music like this now haha

 

Thanks man, that's a beaut. Don't think I've heard quite that particular mix of stuff before but it works really well. Creates a really detailed environment.
