Good morning.
Today we’re listening to Alejandro Cohen, a multi-instrumentalist and composer based in Los Angeles by way of Buenos Aires. We discovered his music via ’s Futurism Restated newsletter. On his new album, Chamber of Tears, Cohen blends tender acoustic guitar with cosmic synths, similar to Corntuth or North Americans. We can’t improve much upon the liner notes, which describe the record’s affects as “high-minded melancholy, platonic playfulness, and sardonic sweetness.” We’re also playing one of two volumes of his Library Music Series. Cohen is the executive director of LA’s Dublab, where he has a regular radio show.

Have a great Thursday.
yes!
Cohen was in other bands as well - I have long been a fan of one of them, Languis. They recorded in the 1990s and early 2000s. There are vocals but they are not prominent - I can't even tell you what the lyrics are from memory. It is nice to hear what he is doing now.
