The National Park Service - Rescuers' Loops (Lily Tapes & Discs)

WHAT WE SAY

The new ambient folk LP from The National Park Service for Lily really is a lovely, mellow listen. Mantric instrumental loops with an at times jazz flecked, psyche tinged, nu-paganistic ritual feel celebrate the joys of repetition, as distant guitar, percussion, natural, elemental & ambiental sounds add real world depths for the attentive listener to explore.

What The Release NoteS Say

hello friends. new music from northland ave. some of the best yet I think. 

thanks to ben at lily tapes for his kindness in putting this out. 

some words from him: 

"Lily Tapes & Discs is pleased to be sharing our first new release by The National Park Service in 6 years, a welcome visit from a longtime member of our musical family. Resurrected from an early working title for 2013’s I Was Flying, one of our earliest (and still favorite) releases, Rescuers’ Loops is a personal meditation on repetition and return, summoning all of the familiar soaring grooves and breezy textures we love about NPS, but enriched with a newfound warmth and personal clarity. Its music spreads like a rich neighborhood grid of deep colors and patterns, emerging slowly and then suddenly converging all at once, like the blooms of early summer framing the houses along your daily walk, nudging your perception day by day across the seasonal threshold. Both a response and a contribution to cycles of work, parenthood, and life on a small scale, Rescuers’ Loops will weave its way through your summer like condensation through a cold glass of water when you get home – joints aching, sitting still, taking it all in." 

happy to share this with you. hope you enjoy.
