Laments 13

EMOTION WAVE Took me by surprise this one - gorgeous rich and dusty jazziness, trip hoppy beats and lovely syrupy instrumentals. I love it.

thevillastraylight Hauntingly beautiful album, reminiscent of Akira Yamaoka's darker work, or maybe a little of early Portishead.
This whole album feels like a journey through a tortured soul, seeking clarity and comfort, but it's always just out of reach. It fills you with a special kind of sadness, but one that feels like you have almost overcome by the final track. A wonderfully composed and paced album. Favorite track: Theme for Recovery.

A special treat we get to eat with our ears. "Soft Energies" is my fav here, with its subtle Hailu Mergia in an extraterrestrial arcade vibe. This whole tape inspires me to reach for the knobs of my Microfreak. nandikesha
