Robbie Basho ~ Art of the Acoustic Steel String Guitar 6 & 12 / Dennis Taylor ~ Dayspring

Unlimited potential, unrivaled opportunity: a thousand colors live inside the guitar. Shady or suntanned. Pale vines or a rose of riveting red. All are conjured, and they all decorate the facade. The guitar can revive lifeless music, can accompany the

OKADA ~ OKADA

Pensacola, Florida is home to OKADA, but as the black crows nestle on the telephone wires and their wings eclipse the sun above, it soon becomes clear that the equally black sunglasses won’t be needed. This isn’t sunshine music, despite the fluttery,

bvdub ~ A History of Distance

Physical distances are there for all to see, but the longer, seemingly insurmountable distances are, to outside eyes, invisible. They linger in the silent gaps, in the deadened pause, afflicting two lovers with its rose-scented disease. The distance hurts because it’s close

(exitpost) ~ Sweet Fade

Sweet Fade is everything you’d want in a dream pop record. The music swirls like a ripple of warm, tropical water, drenched in a smiling halo of light. A nice, warm-blooded bassline runs through the music’s circulation and the rhythm acts as

Ganju ~ Raven

Raven is melancholic, subtle and casual. As such, it has everything needed to make emotional dynamite. It has to be casual, because if it wasn’t it wouldn’t be believable. And because it’s a believable situation, a believable experience, the music hits home

Sunfighter ~ Golden Eagle Of Illumination

Sunfighter jets across the sky, leaving behind a golden glow, a tanned stream of light that lingers up above. Electric guitars provide the necessary thrust, serving as the music’s afterburner, but in reality the climb up to cruising altitude is a smooth

Beachers ~ Pretend

Beachers is a new project from British electronic musician Daryl Worthington. Pretend is a psychedelic funhouse, but you won’t find it in your local amusement park. It is carefully restrained in its approach, and while the music can be considered thoughtful, its thoughts

Softest ~ Music for Rain: Volume One

Rainy days needn’t be thought of as depressing or boring. True, they try to cage us in, delay the plans we had for the day and tempt us to stay indoors, but the rainfall is a beautiful sight. Just looking
