Quiet Space — #219 — Excavation Patterns

Alex Carpenter is an Australian-born artist and researcher living in New York City. In the words of Luke Altman, curator of the de la Catessan label, “”As Excavation Patterns creeps and smothers, winds and bonds, it takes the shape of its ancient host, the Symphony. Excavation Patterns itself isn’t a symphony, but it is draped over the Symphony, lovingly, like a verdant shroud.” This is an incredible work that is highly recommended.

Quiet Space — #217 — Isthmus

Seamus O’Muineachain is an ambient/minimal composer and multi-instrumentalist who has just released his sixth album, Isthmus. The piano based album is a sonic exploration of his hometown, Belmullet, on the remote isthmus of the mullet peninsula. The album marries piano, cello from collaborator Akito Goto, explorative synths, minimal percussion, treated guitars, and smartphone field recordings. Highly recommended.

1/2/3/4 — #247 — Searching For The Heart Of It All

Rob Snarski is better known as the lead singer of The Blackeyed Susans, guest vocalist with The Triffids and The Go-Betweens : 16 Lover’s Lane and author of Crumbs from the Cake. Searching For The Heart Of It All, his latest releases, marks a fresh approach to previous solo albums. Adding to Snarski’s infamous honey-laden voice, he’s asked some of his “so-called” friends to loan their vocal talents to these brand new songs. It’s a stunning release from a great Australian songwriter. As well, great pop from The Orchids, The Goldhearts, Lou Turner and a magical return from Rachel Dadd. Plus lots more!

1/2/3/4 — #246 — Only Fools Wish For Love

Alicia Clara is a dream pop prodigy working at breakneck speed — after last year’s triumphant EP Outsider/Unusual, the Swiss-Canadian songwriter holed up in her apartment to begin work on Velveteen, a lush and breathlessly tender four-song sequence conceived as an homage to her teenage self. I’ve featured her music before, a lush amalgam of 70s folk pop, 80s sophisti-pop & 90s shoegaze.
