ethereal electronic folk pop music from the Austin raised artist Quiet Light, who I came across via Ana Roxanne’s hub on nina protocol (independent artist streaming platform) perhaps the highlight of my week
can’t believe i never heard this until today. unreal electronic, tinges of nin-like sound design and other trip hop elements but in a more ethereal context. zoned out real nice to this
sublime serene electronish jazz from last year with the inimitable morgan simpson on drums; perfect for winding down on a cooler-than-usual summer night
Or anything Powell and Pressburger really Black Narcissus is a once-banned British psychological drama revolving around the growing tensions amongst a group of angelical nuns who’ve been relocated to the Himalayan mountains. Banned due to its sexual inferences and potentially offensive portrayal of religious figures. I love movies with monastic themes and the coloring in this film is otherworldly. Highly recommend The Red Shoes and A Matter of Life and Death as well!
