i disagree with the substance of what ogmor's said, but i can't say i don't find his invective refreshing. not because i think lattimore necessarily deserves to be dunked on in such a manner - i don't think she does - but because there is a certain amount of polite clubbiness to ilx of late, almost a _collegiality_. rock critic savagery is a terrible thing to behold and i kind of miss it a little. occasionally i want to just completely dunk on, say, greta van fleet in a cruel and unhlpeful manner.
for what it's worth i have a deep anhedonia and find this latest record perhaps a little dull, though i liked her last one ok

gave this a slight listen earlier
being charitable, it seemed to be going for a similar vibe to the beatific and stunning coda to wilco's 'one sunday morning' except without the subtle shifts in emphasis or the sonic density
it obviously isn't for me and as a practical criticism exercise can't come across as much more than pablum, but i guess we all get medicated our own way. not everything has to be listened to consciously (let alone analytically)
rooting for ogmor inasmuch as something has *happened* on ilm, and inasmuch as i favour 'invention' and 'maximalism' over new-age or ambient (n.b. i know this is often a false dichotomy)
kas, nu-eno etc irritate me more as they appear to possess some kind of intellectual justification for their music which this afaict lacks. iirc ogmor was similarly scathing about that william tyler album which i didn't mind so much either - like this, it just felt like a pretty doldrum, nothing too self-important or even particularly cloying, despite the almost complete lack of melodic complexity or, well, art

the more recent wave of post-takoma guitarists who show their cloth-ears by treating the new age copycats & originals as being much of a muchness
where and how do you draw this distinction? Like, because Eno and Steve Roach had to make do with comparatively primitive gear the sounds they achieved were somehow more artistic and musical than the guy who hears Emeralds or Oneohtrix and goes to Guitar Center and gets four pedals and an Arturia minibrute and creates sounds that to the average listener are indistinguishable from those made by the ambient 'pioneers?'
I ask this because I think you are onto something, and would agree to some extent that a lot of contemporary new age, ambient and drone music is naked emperor 101 (sidestepping, of course, the false dichotomies imago references) but I don't think Mary Lattimore falls into the latter category at all

FWIW I do think "incurious reverie" works as well in terms of capturing what (I think) the original point meant, though second guessing is perhaps a dangerous game.
Conversely, though, any debate that frames ILX's "problem" around what people listen to rather than how they listen to music and talk about it is missing the point IMO - and further, the issue with trying to refract that kind of critique through a single artist or album or etc. is that it's basically impossible to move beyond the what to the how, except as part of a bad faith "people who listen to this are like that" exercise. Even if someone was listening to a piece of music as an act of "self-care" this doesn't really get very far as character diagnosis given they may well be listening to (insert your favourite difficult / challenging / politically subversive artist) next.
There's a reason why rtc tended to criticise ILX (or segments thereof) for what music people refused to engage with (and how they tended to refuse to engage) rather than the other way around - it's far more instructive. The problem with Patrick Bateman (who is the archetype for the kind of discussion we're having) is not that he was wrong about the records that he liked but that his aesthetic value system was so rigidly foreclosed.

1) who is rtc?2) why does he (he?) get to determine the nature of our discussion of the harp music of mary lattimore?

fahey is the real deal in that he's what everyone's copying
You accuse the ML fans / Diabete ignorers of engaging in (I guess hype-centered?) myopia and then you say this.
To say "everyone" is copying Fahey is so completely and demonstrably false, as you well know. I'd love to hear what exactly Nathan Salsburg, Cian Nugent, Paul Metzger, or Rick Bishop have to do with Fahey, to name four completely different acoustic guitarists we've mentioned on this thread and others. The frustrating thing for me about the so-called post-Takoma stuff (and things like the Thousand Incarnations festival) is that it shoves a lot of very distinctive players into this "American Primitive" box, which is imo probably the least musically interesting music being made by solo guitar players in 2018. Fahey / Rose copycats are everywhere because it's the easiest style to passably imitate. No one is "doing" Bert Jansch, to say nothing of Debashish Bhuttacharya, because that shit is way more difficult than figuring out how to play Mississippi John Hurt tunes for audiences raised on At The Drive In and Built To Spill.
This is not at all to discount the talent (and in many cases genius) of players like Fahey and Rose (and Bachman, who I think is a pretty huge cut above a lot of his contemporaries). I just think those guys should be the final word on "Sunflower River Blues" and sidelong slide guitar ragas because enough already.

If there's one cynical opinion that ogmor's arguments are reminding me that I've flirted with, it's that sometimes a hip and respected artist can make anything normally dull and uninspired interesting to their audience just because they're doing it. Is that kind of what ogmor is getting at here?

“Ppl's lack of interest in something as niche as instrumental harp music doesn't seem like a refusal until they latch onto one particular example and then you wonder why this and not that. There's been quite an upturn in interest in instrumental string music in recent years but it's largely centred around this american scene, w/ a mixture of ppl from the previous early 00s takomish boom (& those they've inspired), the usual mix of often older psych and drone fans, and increasingly ppl who have followed their bliss from other scenes which have moved into more mellow, new age territory, which has become a converging point.“
This seems fair and reasonably likely to me though apart from a few isolated examples (e.g. Blackshaw) I don’t know much of the American music you’re referring to - case in point, I discovered Lattimore off a friend who has a shared love of the new agey end of Balearic revivalism. My go-to reference points for Lattimore when first listening (and especially her latest album) would be stuff like Wolf Muller & Cass rather than Toumani and Sidiki Diabate, though obviously if viewed in terms of the choice of lead instrument the latter makes sense. I had heard Toumani before, but not the 2014 album, and it is magical, though in ways that feel very different to me than ML.
In that sense my entry point and frame for ML are perhaps precisely the sonic trappings which you’d consider represent aesthetic choices which are wrong or dubious or cynical, I dunno.
