snacs ~ swim tape

The phrase “swim tape” inspires images of a plastic boom box by a pool, a whiff of chlorine, a dedicated athlete poised to practice.  Reflecting its title, swim tape blends laid-back beats with murky vocals and produces an impression of music heard

Botany ~ Lava Diviner (Truestory)

Spencer Stevenson released his debut 45 in 2010, but the ensuing years have been well spent.  Lava Diviner (Truestory) is an amplification of themes introduced on Feeling Today, and enriches the Botany sound. Even as a child, Stevenson was interested in sampling, toying with
