Today we’re listening to Seconds, an electronic musician based in Los Angeles. Fascinating Stuff is the latest and ninth LP published on Flow State Records. It’s a dozen eclectic compositions, from Burial-style melancholic ambient to ebullient beat sketches. Track two, “Pacific Pond,” features clarinetist Stuart Bogie improvising over ebbing/flowing synth pads and an 808 bass. The record cover (pictured below) shows the Euclid satellite’s images of the NGC 682 globular cluster, a highly dense collection of ancient stars located about 1.6 million light years from earth. The record was mastered by the one and only . We’re also playing Seconds’ 2023 self-titled album, which sustains a consistent 160BPM and reflects krautrock and kosmische influences.
