Agreed. One of the year's best.

still loving this, fits almost any occasion or mood, easily one of my top [few] favorites of 2011
reminds me of aiko shimada's blue marble ― an album that i at one time loved, but haven't heard in ages. need to do something about that...

Never heard of the Aiko Shimada
aiko S is similar in general tone & vibe, but often jazzier and not quite so psychedelic. favorite track:

Yeah I listened to the album earlier, it's nice! I see what you mean about it not pushing the hazy psychedelic layering so far as MM. Will listen again.
― hipsters gonna hip (seandalai), Friday, 10 June 2011 22:59 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, exactly. glad you liked it! they're both somewhat reminiscent of angel'in heavy syrup, though more delicate, not so proggy/jammy.

Golden Trees + quietly sipping whiskey made for a very compelling evening the other night.

Need to revisit this album.

Any plans for a new album?
― fart the police (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 15 January 2013 19:34 (eleven years ago) link
there are new songs but i don't think they've recorded much recently.
― i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Tuesday, 15 January 2013 19:45 (eleven years ago) link
It's really nice. If you are in a similar type of mood I would recommend Season on Earth by Meg Baird from the same year.

They played abt a month ago in Turners Falls, MA and someone filmed it. I haven't watched the whole thing yet but I wonder if you can spot Skotrok in the crowd.

was hoping this was bumped to announce a new album. any insider info, Ian?
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Tuesday, 18 June 2013 17:47 (ten years ago) link
there are some new songs in that set, and i know they intend to record a record 'soon' but i don't know what 'soon' means. i know they haven't started recording yet. it's hard for them all to get together sometimes.
― i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Tuesday, 18 June 2013 18:21 (ten years ago) link
I get really excited every time I see this thread bump. A new record would be very welcome.

The one I remember being really great was called Cydonia I think? Whatever happened to RC?
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Tuesday, 18 June 2013 20:55 (ten years ago) link
Listening to this again for the first time in a while, it's definitely one of my favorite albums of the decade. Not so much dreamy as dreamlike.
(Apologies to anyone hoping a thread revival meant new album news)

It's a shame that she's never released a followup to this magnificent album.

Sorry to disappoint anyone by bumping the thread- I just kept seeing 'purple mountains' in new answers and it got me thinking...
