this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

Was only recently I noticed it had a big red cross on the front cover, has definitely worked for me as a curatve some days

hah, now that you mention it, i did recommend gaussian curve to a friend who was having a hard time after stressing too much about US politics. whether it helped or not remains to be seen

also looking forward to some amazing unreleased stuff that was on young marco's BiS mix that's supposed to be out on his label early this year

Lucas Croon - Türkischer Tee

very cool track

previous release on the same label by wolf mueller and young marco (under the moniker young wolf, unfortunately)

New Jonny Nash

that is excellent, very Gigi Masin but that makes sense

the 55 cancri e album is quite nice - sort of folky scandinavian vibes.

here it is: https://open.spotify.com/album/5vKc1cUQf77h3pEiWW1qoV

I'm sure it's been posted before but I just discovered Chris Coco's Balearic playlist on spotify. 28 hours worth!

Gaussian Curve (minus Young Marco) on Charlie Bones' ever excellent NTS show:
https://www.mixcloud.com/NTSRadio/the-do-you-breakfast-show-w-charlie-gigi-masin-jonny-nash-gilbr-20th-february-2017

Gonna check this out but the host talks way too much and basically makes the show unlistenable a 2nd time. Wish he just did an air break every 20mins instead of every minute and a half.

It's a radio show. I guess I'm just reacting to all those faceless Soundcloud mixes out there.

It's interesting once but has no replay value. Maybe have an interview section and a 20-30min mix section. The constant chatter is distracting. Of course I complain about everything so…

I keep listening , btw, just expressing my preference.

I know what you're saying. I don't mind the chat however - must be my age.

People speaking is an abomination. Reverie is a fragile land with scant defences, ill prepared to deal with the marauding invaders with not only simple words, but full sentences, barely pausing for breath, crushing the ever endangered dream state

Not really. There's a place for continuous DJ mixes and there's a place for radio. Take your pick.

I'm 44, so maybe it's my age?

i like this

Haven't heard the Gil'r portion of that show but I just finished the Gigi/Jonny part and it was nice. I enjoyed the banter and it didn't irritate me as much as it has.

Really loving the new stuff from both Jonny and Gigi though. Can't wait for the new Gaussian Curve LP. Would like to see them live but doubt that will ever come to America (outside of NYC/LA).

yeah, that wav fuzz ep is good

New Jonny Nash is up on Bandcamp:

New Mark Barrott!

I love this thread so much. I feel like discovering this stuff through ILM has really affected not just the music I listen to but the way I listen to music. also I'm drunk, thanks guys

love harvey trying to explain the meaning of balearic at about 12 mins in this: https://vimeo.com/29652200

Really cool, thanks for posting.

Not really feeling the Wolf Muller/Young Marco tracks... almost like there's just not enough "there" there.

The recent Outro Tempo compilation on Music From Memory is excellent.

Nice interview with compiler John Gomez on Dr Rob's new blog here

Just came here to post this. It's not 100% bangers or anything, but there are more than enough tracks on here to satisfy anyone looking for a good mostly-mellow afternoon jammer. As with most things, I wish it was all instrumental, but hey what can you do

Can we have some bass in this thread?!

A (somewhat) retro jam:

some nice stuff on this. anyone know the track at 20 mins? it is amazing.

New Horsebeach album

https://horsebeach.bandcamp.com/album/beauty-sadness

Didn't know it was coming, just about to listen

Mark Barrott's EP is pretty nice.

do not get the Horsebeach love at all and think they stick out like a sore thumb on this otherwise excellent thread

yeah, Horsebeach sounds like a Real Estate knockoff has nothing to do with this thread...

i don't mind when balearic dudes post stuff that's a little outside the scope of the genre since most of y'all have good taste. the new horsebeach does sound bland at a glance, though

An instrumental from their last album got included on some balaeric compilations and mixes. I like them a bunch, but i'm partial to WIlliam It Was Really Nothing and Girl Afraid and Horsebeach seem to continue to subtly rewrite those two songs, so i'm happy.

Is there a medical term for only wanting to listen to Sketches From An Island? Maybe "nervous breakdown." I dunno, I can just listen to both volumes of this on a loop lately and I'm good

Track 1 off the first Sketches is so horrible. I have to start on track 2.

The MIDI flute + weird phased clavinet jam? That's not one of my favorites either, but I like it fine in context. It is a strange one to kick things off, though.

In general I think I prefer the second collection, which is overall spacier and a little darker (or at least as "dark" as balearic chilldude flip-flop music gets)

maybe "pensive and reflective" is more accurate than "dark." Like that moment when you're stoned and you stop listening to the waves and seagulls and start thinking about friends you've lost touch with and wondering if your dog could be said to be having a "happy life"

That's a great description. I'm partial to the 2nd as well.
