Desert Island Discs #5: Tim Hecker – The Piano Drop

Chris — Wed, 15 Jun 2016 16:30:32 +0000

Unlike many of my contemporaries I really haven’t been in Ambient for very long; actually when Ravedeath, 1972 came out in 2011 I was still treading water greatly, still trying to find my way into the genre and my place within it. In many ways this record became a significant motivator and pushed me over the […]

Desert Island Discs #4: Jesse Somfay – NotR

Some years of your life are more peculiar than others; overall every year ends up being pretty peculiar in its own way, no two ever being the same afterall, but some are unquestionably more dynamic and filled with change and upheavals than others. 2011, the year I first listened to Somfay, the year I left […]

Desert Island Discs #3: Kyle Bobby Dunn – Ending Of All Odds

“People who want to die don’t know what being dead is like” Dan Barrett’s Giles Corey project isn’t exactly an easy one to talk about; for the uninitiated, his self-titled debut (and thus far only record under the alias) is the record of a man with suicidal depression, the musical diary if you will of […]

Desert Island Discs #1: Tycho – Adrift

Chris — Sun, 14 Feb 2016 17:45:06 +0000

To make me write and help keep me motivated, as well as to supplement the ongoing Albums of the Decade series, I will also be covering my Desert Island Discs on the 14th of every month. These days Scott Hansen’s Tycho project is practically a household name as far as downtempo music is concerned, his woozy sun-bleached tunes […]
