Slow Music Recommendations Round up - 1/6/2019

Welcome to our weekly RSS feed friendly round up of the last seven day's music recommendations.

Alphabets - breaks (Symbol Group)

If you need some lazy, hazy vibes today check out the West Coast originating, opiate optimized, lysergic laced, guitar injected, plugged in and spaced out lethargicana of Alphabets for Symbol Group Records. Should do the job nicely.

Tristan de Liég - Maisha

To get a lot of the LP inspiration from a big bad city like LA & still produce music this positive I'm guessing Tristan de Liège is a glass half full guy. Check out his soulful, Eastern veined, spiritual nodding nu-jazz fusion. It's a lovely listen.

Nicolas Stocker - SOLO (Ronin Rhythm)

It's rare to hear percussion standing alone, it's subtlety often lost in a group but after his recent amazing Areni Agbabian collaboration I checked out Nicolas Stocker's solo work on Ronin Rhythm Records & this LP perfectly highlights his percussive prowess, ability to create soft textures & immersive soundscapes as well as propel.

Ann Annie - Wander Into

Seemingly on a one woman mission to bring about world peace through musical endeavour, ann annie has produced another Arcadian gem, sitting at the intersection of the new age of New Age, ambient and the hippie dream. Hear the love.

Josephine Wiggs - We Fall (The Sound of Sinners)

Largely minimal, sometimes not, ambient leaning, classically inclined, indie-folk, electronic fusion from Josephine Wiggs as she slightly sombrely pairs her multi-instrumental talents with those of Jon Mattock of Spacemen 3 to reluctantly beautiful, introspection encouraging effect for The Sound of Sinners

HOERA - jaunu (Granvat)

Drift into the week with the laid back cinematic jazz & electro acoustic, ambient choral fusion of hoera. as they record Lithuanian choir, Jauna Muzika 2019 & respectfully reduce them to a sampled digital audio avatar to accompany their own minimal, live music endeavours for Belgium's granvat.

Areni Agbabian - Bloom (ECM)

Armenian singer Areni Agbabian's native folk referencing, crystal clear voice floats above her minimal piano lines and Nicolas Stocker's sparse textured rather than propulsive, global percussion for ECM Records. A lovely, less is most definitely more, Sunday listen.
