Meditation fuses with ambient electronics and dreamy pop, occasionally taking on a jazzy air. Ensconced in Matthew Sage’s converted barn studio nestled at the base of the Rockies, the talent-soaked trio – including Joseph Shabason and Nicholas Krgovich – manifest their exceptional talent of uncovering beauty within everyday moments. Press play, and you can almost feel the Rocky Mountains’ wide-open spaces and the trio’s harmonious synergy bouncing off the studio’s rustic wooden beams. This is an album best enjoyed in life’s quieter moments – one that calls for your undivided attention and deep absorption.

I think this intensely observational yet not annoyingly self-conscious style of lyrics is very difficult to pull off and I'm very inspired by this album

[markingrecords]

再入荷です。雑音をかいくぐり、ささやくように奏でられた極上のアンビエント・ポップス集。 ニューエイジ・ミュージックへの共通の愛を持って集まった3人、Nicholas KrgovichとDestroyerのサックス奏者でもあるJoseph ShabasonとギタリストChris Harris、その名もShabason, Krgovich & Harris によるデビューアルバム。 2019年秋にトロントで録音された本作。今回はあえて愛や失恋について書くことを避けたというニックは「First Thought, Best Thought / 最初の考えが最高の考え」という信念に基づき人生の細部に宿るものについて哲学的な言葉を紡ぎ、ジョセフとクリスは泡のようにぽこぽこと生まれ消えゆくサウンドで、やわらかくスピリチュアルなテクスチャーを描き出します。The Blue Nile、Sadeのほか、吉村弘や高田みどりなど日本のアンビエント・ミュージックが好きな��もぜひ。 (Marking Records) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjZ-CasBjyP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[fuckyeahstephensondheim]

Somehow I missed this when it came out last year. If you wanted to hear one of Sondheim’s most devestating meditations on love reset as an 80s adult contemporary pop ballad, you are in luck.

[dustedmagazine]

Tim Clarke’s 2020

Trying to make sense of 2020 leaves me at a loss for words. Australia began the year with a Black Summer, as terrifying bushfires swept across vast swathes of the country. And then, of course, COVID-19 hit. Melbourne went into lockdown, many of us began working from home, and human connection, fragility, mortality and economic recession were all more important talking points than music. Yes, the music industry took a huge hit as the gig economy was decimated, but focus switched, it seemed, to smaller moments of connection. I transitioned from a headphone commute and attending sporadic gigs to sneaking in listening whenever I could: around home-schooling my daughter, during car rides, on headphones before bed, or while working from home. Music has seemed simultaneously less important and more important than ever. As a result, I couldn’t get a clear sense of how the albums that meant the most to me in 2020 could be arranged in any kind of order, so here they are alphabetically.

Activity — Unmask Whoever (Western Vinyl)

Unmask Whoever by Activity

Arising from the ashes of the criminally underrated Grooms, Activity put out their debut early in the year, latching onto my subconscious with their bewitching blend of noise-rock and synth-pop. Imagine Sonic Youth wandering lost in a haunted forest and you’re on your way to getting a handle on this slippery beast.

Anjimile — Giver Taker (Father Daughter)

Giver Taker by Anjimile

This one caught me by surprise late in the year, mainly thanks to Jennifer Kelly’s review. Giver Taker brings together the sprightly melodic sensibility of Illinoise-era Sufjan Stevens and the rhythmic and vocal qualities of the sorely missed Wild Beasts. Short, sweet and amiably tuneful.

Fake Laugh — Dining Alone (State 51 Conspiracy)

Kam Khan not only has a way with a tune, he also has a subtle sense of humor. On Dining Alone, he’s evolved the power/guitar-pop of his fantastic self-titled debut into a more strident, synthesized sound that’s undercut by self-deprecating wordplay and sly instrumental details. Catchy as all hell.

Yves Jarvis — Sundry Rock Song Stock (Anti- / Flemish Eye)

Sundry Rock Song Stock by Yves Jarvis

I’d never heard any of this guy’s music before this year. Jean-Sébastien Audet creates gorgeously affecting psych-pop that unfolds like a half-remembered fever dream. Woozy, hazy and deeply beautiful.

King Krule — Man Alive! (XL)

Hard to articulate how music that is so gloriously warts-and-all ugly can be so satisfying, but Archy Marshall has done it with his new album. Smoky jazz, belligerent post-punk and stoned lo-fi are all stirred together into a murky and intoxicating soup.

Adrianne Lenker — Songs (4AD)

songs by Adrianne Lenker

Given my adoration of last year’s two Big Thief records, I was really looking forward to Adrianne Lenker’s new solo albums. Instrumentals missed the mark for me, but Songs really shines, Lenker mustering a moving suite of achingly intimate folk.

Loma — Don’t Shy Away (Sub Pop)

Don't Shy Away by LOMA

Loma’s self-titled debut was my favorite album of 2018, so this follow-up was eagerly awaited. It didn’t end up quite what I was hoping for, but Don’t Shy Away is deeply affecting and intricately crafted, nonetheless. Emily Cross’s voice is as bewitching as ever, this time set within a more varied collection of songs, venturing into art-pop as well as their more familiar folk-rock terrain.

Protomartyr — Ultimate Success Today (Domino)

Ultimate Success Today by Protomartyr

A new Protomartyr album is always cause for celebration here at Dusted, and Ultimate Success Today is up there among their best. This time around they’ve incorporated a wider instrumental palette, including woodwind and cello, while also, somehow, getting heavier, befitting a year in desperate need of catharsis.

Shabason, Krgovich & Harris — Philadelphia (Idée Fixe)

Philadelphia by Shabason, Krgovich & Harris

Remember the Neil Young song “Philadelphia” from the Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington movie of the same name? Joseph Shabason, Nicholas Krgovich and Chris Harris do, and their interpretation sets the tone of this lovely album: hushed, introspective, delicately beautiful.

Andrew Wasylyk — Fugitive Light and Themes of Consolation (Athens of the North)

Fugitive Light and Themes of Consolation by Andrew Wasylyk

This is the third album in a trilogy of gorgeous instrumental records from Andrew Mitchell (who also plays bass in rabble-rousers Idlewild). Though all three albums are good, this is probably the best of the three, bringing to mind the suave sci-fi lounge-pop of Air’s Moon Safari, the lush soundtracks of Sven Libaek, or Mogwai at their most restrained and minimal.

Honorable mentions (10 more in alphabetical order):

Alabaster DePlume — To Cy & Lee: Instrumentals Vol. 1 (International Anthem)

Any Kind — Peacock (self-released)

Autechre — Sign (Warp)

Ian William Craig — Red Sun Through Smoke (130701)

Sarah Davachi — Cantus, Descant (Late Music)

Claire Deak & Tony Dupe — The Old Capital (Lost Tribe Sound)

Lemon Quartet — Crestless (Last Resort)

Owen Pallett — Island (Domino)

Lyra Pramuk — Fountain (Bedroom Community)

Dean Roberts — Not Fire (Erstwhile)

[soundaslanguage]

Best of March 2021

Hey it’s still April so it’s OK to post this. Thanks for sticking around.

Landon Caldwell - Deep Strand (Trouble In Mind)

- Covered this one here. Caldwell has become quite the prolific artist here lately. That doesn’t always bode well for quality but no worries on that front for Caldwell. Deep Strand is a deep ambient jazz stunner.

https://landoncaldwell.bandcamp.com/album/deep-strand

Dialect - Under ~ Between (RVNG Intl.)

- A fascinating experimental ambient listen from the UK artist on the always great RVNG label.

https://dialect-trax.bandcamp.com/album/under-between

Dntel - The Seas Trees See (Morr Music)

- Wrote about this one here. The first of two albums from Tamborello coming this year and the album is a hypnotizing journey.

https://dntel.bandcamp.com/album/the-seas-trees-see

m. geddes gengras - echelons beyond reality (self-released)

- m. geddes gengras returns with my favorite release of his since 2018′s Hawaiki Tapes. A haunting, beautiful trip.

https://mgeddesgengras1.bandcamp.com/album/echelons-beyond-reality

Rod Hamilton - Toad Lily (KMAN 92.5)

- Not sure how I missed Baltimore artist Rod Hamilton all these years but I messed up. Toad Lily is his latest and it’s a brilliant mix of rhythmic new age jazz. Also, bonus points to Hamilton cause he guests on the new Zachary Utz release that some label (my label) is releasing next month.

https://kman925.bandcamp.com/album/toad-lily

Ki Oni - Indoor Plant Life (sound as language)

- Do I need to say anything else about this? Indoor Plant Life approximates the swishing of a houseplant next to an open window and by god it delivers.

https://kioni.bandcamp.com/album/indoor-plant-life

Josh Medina - Drifting Toward The Absolute (Eiderdown)

- Absolutely floored by this gorgeous album of ambient guitar/synth instrumentals. Medina is one to watch closely.

https://eiderdownrecords.bandcamp.com/album/drifting-toward-the-absolute

G.S. Schray - The Changing Account ( Last Resort)

- Schray and Last Resort are nothing but consistent. Smooth and light ambient jazz rock with heavy feels.

https://gsschray.bandcamp.com/album/the-changing-account

Andrew Weathers & Hayden Pedigo - Big Tex, Here We Come (Debacle)

- Reviewed this one here. The album is one of those no doubters from two artists who weave ambient guitar instrumentals masterfully.

https://debaclerecords.bandcamp.com/album/big-tex-here-we-come

Dustin Wong - Internal Hot Spring (Self-Released)

- Yeah, so you should know who Dustin Wong is already. Internal Hot Spring is yet another fine release in a brilliantly diverse catalog. Colorful and intoxicating.

https://dustin-clarence-hidetoshi-wong.bandcamp.com/album/internal-hot-spring
