Singles, EPs & a Couple of LP Recommendations - 29/9/2021

The Slow Music Movement Blog

Mostly we put our daily recommendations here for the blog readers among you, although occasionally we go longform.
Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but you're better off just hitting play. Not very "slow" I know but there's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find the recommendations a handy filter.
Trust your ears, not opinions.

Singles, EPs & a couple of LP recommendations - 29/9/2021

Louis Decicco - Folk for camera (Self Release)

I'd already given one track from this release a bit of playlist love, but I was reminded of the LP again the other day and it really is a wonderful, well travelled, ambient Americana journey. I know it's an LP, but this really deserves a bit more attention.

Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek - DOST 1 (Les Disques Bongo Joe)

Utterly charming, far out, Anatolian psychedelic cosmic folk pop rock music coming from the German based Turkish diaspora. I usually like things with more of a modern twist as little compares to out of context golden age tributes, but when it's as good as this then I'm sold.

Modo Mero - Bits and Pieces EP (Fussy Music)

Vertical Divider

A really cool four track debut EP from this young Dutch producer. Lots of lovely mellow classic spacey electronic sounds that wrap themselves around the sparse beats to form a warming autumnal ambient blanket. The future is bright for this one.

Saphileaum - Transpersonal Experience (Good Morning Tapes)

New Age, psychedelic, mystical, ritual and all on one EP - it's a joy. That's all just go grab it.

Yuma Abe - Fantasia (Thaian)

Vertical Divider

Another LP that I'm going to pretend is an EP because it's laid back, sweet, fragile psychedelic pop pleasures deserve a wider audience. It's all in Japanese so I've got no idea what he's singing about but I'm tuned into the vibrations all the way.

Cloud Of I - Gazing (Bartov)

Lovely dreamy electro-psychedelic global folk fusion, ranging from spiritual ambient meditations to full on flailing arm ecstatic dance tracks. This young Israeli artist sounds like she is on the right course musically and through life.

Nu Genea - Marechiá (NG Records)

Vertical Divider

If you're wondering where summer went, it's been packaged into musical form by Nu Genea and released as the sunniest feel good, smile inducing Balearic dance tune of 2021. Sun cream recommended before you press play.

Will Bolton - Above the Neon Glow (Hidden Vibes)

Will Bolton is such a reliable source of comfy, warm electroacoustic ambient music and this summer release from him is no exception. Press play and let the soft edged sounds massage your temples and wash away your worries.

Mårble & Minereed - Green Snake (Hair Del.)

Vertical Divider

Marble just keeps the Fourth World psychedelic spiritual bass and pleasingly wayward musicality coming and this EP of percussive leftfield dub is no exception. I don't know what they're smoking in Saint Petersburg but it should be available on the national health service to help cure creative block.
