On Sundays I try to at least quickly note some of my favorite listening from the week prior — things I would later regret having not written about in more depth, so better to share here briefly than not at all.
▰ Beautiful live session with lightly glitched and always shimmering piano samples from Andrew Tasselmyer. Watching him at work is always a pleasure.
▰ There is little I enjoy as much as I do music that combines more recognizable musical elements with field recordings and found sound, which is what Natalia Spiner is up to on her quiet new album, Dolmen (on the label Puddle). She’s from Buenos Aires. The label is in Berlin.
▰ Daniel Lanois continues the slow steady drip in advance of the full release of his forthcoming album, Belladonna Nocturne, due out June 19. This time it’s “Warp Sustain,” the title providing a useful description of how the melting grungy guitar evaporates as the track unfolds.
