Musas from Natalia Lafourcade (https://open.spotify.com/album/7JbbUP152jaRbhQ7CJ1DOy?si=qq8CRKatQOKmu6ScaG1twA) -- Yet it's a singing album, she is creating music that is soft, easy to listen to, and more importantly coming out of the traditional latin folk music (which is not regueatton). Listening to her always calms me down when I am feeling like a lock down 😅
Dalibert's more known for literally-algorithmic pieces evolving according to a ruleset (https://anothertimbre.bandcamp.com/album/ressac), this one's a Debussy/Glass-ish set of improvisations
Woody Harris, guitarist and ensemble bridging classical, folk and blues - try After Diner Mints or A Show of Hands (Kicking Mule Records - now Fantasy Records)
Melodic trance (no vocals) from Grum's Reactor label
I know this is a bit higher tempo than the stuff you usually send out but I've had it on a continual loop for the last week whilst working from home. Most of the time I forget it's even on!
Maya by John Frusciante (guitarists Red Hot Chili Peppers). Surprisingly good electronic album. Very IDM, drumb & bass, hits pretty hard at times! https://music.apple.com/us/album/maya/1526505121
I’m late to the party. Just glad to be part of the community at this point with so much going on. As in many things; I’ve learned that what applies to one does not apply to all. Just want to chime in with what’s on my playlist at the moment. And it’s deafheaven’s New Bermuda. I’m guilty of having preconceived notions about many things. People. Events. Etc. And I had a preconceived notion as to what good taste in music was. Death metal was something which despite years of immersing myself as a listener I couldn’t imagine appearing on my radar. My little contribution is Luna by Deafheaven at 6 minutes onwards. Thank you and be safe all.
Nick Murphy’s Music For Silence has been a near constant companion during my working hours this week. It’s a gentle way to start the morning, or end an evening, too. https://open.spotify.com/album/7AXKcgHTZPExGsbK7QFXO7?si=7owFuRLFQzmS0saL9e6cxA
This is lovely. Thanks for rec.
Agree and agree. This has been in steady daytime rotation.
