Okay, I like ambient music – sue me. One of my favorite composers is a French electronic artist whose music I might describe as ethereal. It’s like soft-reverb-soaked, loop-based, nighttime-inspired melodic music. She’s prolific in the studio but rarely plays shows and doesn’t do a lot of press. Her side projects (Dj Lostboi and Belmont Girl) are just as interesting. If I were going to make a movie about eternity, I would have her score it.https://soundcloud.com/mmmmalibuhttps://soundcloud.com/belmontghttps://soundcloud.com/djlostboi
no not in California, not the beach, not the Barbie the ethereal music of this ambient producer from France ambient is a Heavily Contested word and I feel like a nerd uttering it out but she breathes life back into ambient music sounda like a blanket of oceanic bliss and dissolving the ego under waves, becoming the sea
Maybe my favorite ambient track ever. Malibu/DJ Lostboi’s music is so wistful, emotional…..if you’re bored by Brian Eno’s ambient work like me, I highly recommend checking out Malibu/DJ Lostboi… much more compelling works regarding time, movement, travel, airplanes …. lmk what you think ❤️
Can't pick favourites so I'm letting myself choose a bunch :) Sue me Mogwai Fear Satan, Mogwai —A quarter of an hour of post-rock with a beautiful, beautiful build. It Never Entered My Mind, Miles Davis Quintet — Feels a bit cheaty because it's jazz and there definitely are lyrics inspiring the lead melody.. still wonderful for pensive late-night walks. Earth Moon Transit, Duster — if you haven't sat back and spent time with this album, what are you doing? Clear an evening and put it on repeat. Yes, technically it has lyrics. Personally I barely hear them. Prologue, Kamasi Washington — Such powerful energy on the closing track of last year's album. Blade Runner Blues, Vangelis — the song that made me fall in love with synthesisers.
Mysterious band and one of my favs ever. “God Has Lips: Collected Recordings Vol.1” is the new album, their first release since 2010. This is that real shit I would like to listen to in a locker room before a game drinking blue gatorade dipping Skoal mint longcut kicking over garbage cans.
A tense comedy / tragedy about a guy who shaves his trademark mustache and no one remembers it was ever even there. Are folks fucking with him or is he losing his mind? A brilliant performance from Vincent Lindon. Genius.
I’ve been re-reading The Ancient Hours, a slim novel that locks itself into a trance of amusement for the dust that settles on townspeople following a devastating tragedy. The pace goes fast, the perspective steadily repositions itself, it’s fucked and funny and reminds me to keep my head on a swivel. Bible is a freaking king writer.
