turrelljames performs as L’Rain and her musical framework is ‘approaching songness.’ Whatever you call it, her music is a weirdly floaty dreamscape with lots of found, manipulated sounds and O% cliches. Heard it on KEXP this morning (another thing I am into) and am smitten.

ethereal, otherworldly and wildly experimental album from Brooklyn based multi-instrumentalist L’Rain. I imagine this is what artsy freaks (complimentary) like Tilda Swinton or Andre 3000 listen to as they start the day.

what im listening to this morning. from bandcamp description: “percolating patterns of fiberglass synthetics and fluorescent melody, assembled into minimalist bio-domes of refracted light and hanging gardens”

it sounds like being in an escape room that is painted vividly, garishly, but is crumbling so intensenly you're not sure you'll actually need to orchestrate an escape. this little echoey world and its intricate architecture of rage lullabies and robot clowns might just eject you. but it's fun to play with puzzles anyway!! a very moving and startling experience.

"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."
God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
