Singles & EPs Round Up - March 17th, 2023

The Event Horizon - The Black Hourglass (Self Release)

Vertical Divider

Loving this jam from The Event Horizon as he comes through like Kool & the Gang doing a Spring follow up to "Summer Madness" - ringing emotive synths & cosmic vibes out of his machines the way only a proper soul boy can. Helped along by some old time hip hop bump this is my choice cut from his latest LP of beat anchored synth voyages.
He's currently kicking off the Slow Balearic Playlist.

Mike Tod - The coo Coo (Self Release)

A deep folk journey from Mike Tod, back to the good old bad old days when the West was a damn site wilder. It's  a suitably noirish hoe down swinger with a real building tension that probably culminates in a gun fight the second the band stop playing. If that isn't enough just check that video where he single handedly revives the art of moving panoramas to wonderfully complimentary vintage visual effect.
Find this gem in the Slow Folk Playlist.

East Forest & Peter Broderick - Burren (Bright Antenna)

Vertical Divider

Another dark brooding track, this time from East Forest & Peter Broderick. It has a ritualistic vibe with ancient horns & Oriental strings dipping in and out at will, as softly spoken words of wisdom shine a light into the instrumental shadows. I wasn't down with the LP in its entirety hence this single pick, but it was a close run thing, so I urge you to check the LP and then listen again in theSlow Psyche Playlist.

Frey Arde - What's Your Obligation (Self Release)

Freya Arde has cropped up on the blog before & this probably won't be the last time either. Herlatest LP is a soundtrack - which I rarely recommend as all the tracks rarely make full sense without the visual context this being no exception, but it's undoubtedly some stunning work with Arde composing, producing & assisting the Budapest Art Orchestra on keys. Find this track presently adding some classical class to the Slow Ambient Playlist.
