Jacaszek – “Soft Music” [2017]

Posted on March 22, 2017 by Very Warm

This sounds pretty similar to how I’ve been feeling for the past few weeks. Familiar sounds and feelings on the other side of frosted glass, just out of reach. Things are jarred out of place and disorganized. Like trying to … Continue reading →

scntfc – “Epiphany Fields” [2016]

Posted on March 16, 2017 by Very Warm

A lovely song from a great game called Oxenfree that came out in 2016. I highly recommend anyone reading to play it, since it’s really easy and very story driven. It’s like directing an HBO mystery special or something. The soundtrack, as … Continue reading →

Colleen – “Everyone Alive Wants Answers” [2003]

Posted on February 7, 2017 by Very Warm

Achingly beautiful in its uniqueness. Surely very few things in 2003 sounded like this. Even now Colleen is making beautiful outsider music. If you like this song, you’ll undoubtedly like the rest of the album. I suggest you check it … Continue reading →

Heathered Pearls – “Holographic Lodge” [2015]

Posted on August 18, 2016 by Very Warm

Reminder that this Heathered Pearls album is one of the best from 2015, especially if you’re into downtempo electronic with a lot of ambiance to it. Stuff that’s slow, hypnotic, building.

Troller – “Storm Maker” [2016]

Posted on June 8, 2016 by Very Warm

Ryosuke Miyata – Sea Of Nebukawa [Album, 2015]

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Very Warm

One style of music that seems to be usually put off to the side on many year end lists is ambient drone/field recordings, probably because they’re definitely not for everyone and it’s hard to subjectively rank them over say, a … Continue reading →
