Alaskan tapes has come a long way in a relatively short amount of time. Although I guess he had previous musical form, he’s been producing consistently high quality ambient music for nine years and is now perched near the top of the tree in the ethereal popularity stakes.
His latest LP is exactly the sort of ambient album that I like to start a Sunday with. The vibes are round edged and homely with not an angular frequency in site. Politely insistent drones usher you to your favourite chair and plump up your cushions - take a large mug and some supplies, you might be some time.
The familiar sounds of guitar and piano occasionally waft in from afar, somehow finding winding paths through the electronic mists that the sun has yet to dissipate, the water vapour sapping them of energy so they can’t stir any rousing emotions that might elicit activity.
It’s a cosy, gentle listen and even the late risers still under the duvet won’t complain about any stray sounds drifting in from the listening room.
