@OotyPa The opener on that Black Swan record just caught me off guard in the best way.

 

This is amazing.

AI-26: Metamorphosis, by Multicast Dynamics & Sid Hille

New Claire Rousay on Shelter Press.

 

Chihei released ANOTHER new one last week

 

FFO pedal steel

 

New GAS album out December 3rd. My most anticipated the rest of 2021 so far.

Der Lange Marsch by GAS

 

Oh fuck yes. I’m so glad dude’s been pumping them out in the last few years. Every record he makes is unbelievable.

 

So glad you agree with me, I love hearing from you in this thread mate :)

 

thanks man! this is one of my favorite threads on this site :)

everyone should check this obscure goodie out

 

Eluvium - Virga II

 

the delicate piano and guitar of M Sage returns on 16 collaborative tracks inspired by the poetry of Wallace Stevens

 

fucking love Wallace Stevens. throwing this on now

 

I'm back with another round of recent faves.

Taranoya - Becoming (lazy comparison, but riyl Grouper, Julianna Barwick)

kafari - Blanket of Black (usually not a fan of ambient music with beats, but I really dig this)

Matt Lajoie - Cosmic Commission (this is his 5th or 6th release for the year, dude is unreal. There is another one coming out this Friday)

Grandbruit - Juste avant l'automne (whole Grandbruit discography is great, totally worth your money)

Thanks for all the recent recommendations, my wish-list grows longer by the day. If someone wants to become bandcamp buddies, let me know. I love going through peoples' purchases and wish-lists.

 

Shocked that I completely forgot that there was a new Grouper album coming out, but it was a pleasant surprise to see this morning. It's beautiful, which should come as no surprise. Ode to the Blue hurts.

 

emperor of ice-cream

 

one of his most popular but most definitely not his best! The Palm at the End of the Mind is an amazing career-spanning collection put together by his daughter, which I highly rec!

 

New SUSS EP dropped yesterday

 

I got the opportunity to listen to the new Alva Noto during a private stream and I can tell y'all in for a treat. Amazing stuff.

 

Oh nice, I'm excited about that one.

 

Finding this extremely captivating; just how much of a place each track feels. The precision and attention to detail is quite something.

 

some recent goodies (besides the obviously fantastic Grouper album)

four hours of droney bliss. this one is unbelievably good

proggy ambient RIYL Laraaji, chilled out Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith vibes

RIYL Stars of the Lid, A Winged Victory for the Sullen, Christina Vantzou
