Ari Solus makes music in Oakland, CA. All of it is warm and cold at the same time. He had an amazing youtube channel which he’s deleted and restored several times but his songs are now on spotify. The internet is so flattened now but Ari’s music reminds me of stumbling across some random vlog with like 200 views and feeling totally sucked into someone else’s life.

“Introducing a revisionist exotica for these times…aquatic synths & drum machines, slide guitars & santoors, stray trumpets and accordion...ethno-industrial, dub, and samples from a fifty-year old suitcase of cassettes...
The major catalyst was a suitcase of twenty cassettes my father unearthed from his teenage years in Iran, recorded between 1972-1975, taping DJ monologues off the radio, lines of movie dialogue off the TV, radio plays, spoken word translations of European pop...
That made it a kind of excavation of a bygone time, a travelogue to a place accessed only through cultural artifact & collective memory. An imaginary soundtrack to a half-remembered movie from a faraway place.”

I love listening to music that seems to marry together your mind and body. It somehow translates often indescribable aspects and experiences of your life into something you can fully understand.
Atlantis by LTJ Bukem is one of the songs that do it for me.

Emma is actually a genius and I enjoy recording her conversations with friends and sometimes foes.

I saw this recently at The Roxy with my friend Ben and it hit so hard. I really liked this one in high school but seeing it for the first time in maybe 10 years, I was kind of shocked by how great it was. To enjoy Lost Highway, you have to shut your brain off and just submit to the movie. At the end, two characters drive out to the desert in the middle of the night looking for a burning cabin they’ve seen in visions and then have sex on the sand, illuminated by the headlights of their parked car. This Mortal Coil’s version of ‘Song To The Siren’ plays. We were in the front row it was crazy.
