Jasmine Guffond ~ Yellow Bell
Formerly known as Jasmina Maschina and Minit, Jasmine Guffond comes to this ball under her own name. While her music has been (fairly) compared to that of Grouper, her work is primarily instrumental; impressions are formed by sound, rather than lyric. One

Memum ~ Became a Leaf

It was around the same time two years ago, sitting in a hotel room waiting for a phone call in a town in which I knew no one, where all signs of life seemed to disappear in the early evening

The In-Between Years: 1959-1963 opens with a flowing, sunken drone that swirls around a ghostly, ethereal vocal. They tie themselves together and remain bonded for life, like a lovers’ pact. It’s a truly beautiful start, and it remains a soothing, sedate listen
