Listening Diary 20250210
- Slowdive - Pygmalion - https://www.discogs.com/master/9482-Slowdive-Pygmalion: This LP was the soundtrack to a small but significant part of my life when it was released. It sounded futuristic and otherworldly and showed that the band’s sound could evolve to include electronics and acoustic guitars. There was also quite a lot of Kahlua involved.
- This Occasional Society - scrape the edges - https://thisoccasionalsociety.bandcamp.com: A chamber quartet collaborates with a electronic beatmaker to make a charming collection of small ensemble tunes.
- Early Day Miners - Placer Found - https://earlydayminers.bandcamp.com/album/placer-found-20th-anniversary-edition: We called this slowcore then. Quiet songs stretched out with whispered words and a calm beauty.
