Scratched the same itch as this has done for me, albeit not as ambient:

nice piece! too much on the "and here's why" on the lede but maybe that's unavoidable

yasmin williams album didn't grab me, too windham hill for me. lots of folk whos taste i admire like it though, maybe need to give it another shot
― global tetrahedron, Wednesday, 28 April 2021 18:05 (two years ago) link
it engages fairly easily which is nice. after i played it for her, my partner has gotten several of her junior high classes and private music lesson students into her. the "she looks like me" factor really matters to these kids and of course it does.

nice article — I like some of these players more than others, but I think Gwenifer Raymond sums it up well: “Representation matters — that’s just true. The music can only get more interesting.”
― tylerw, Wednesday, 28 April 2021 19:03 (two years ago) link
speaking of which, just got the new sarah louise album and it is VERY interesting. she continues to have a weird/cool trajectory.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 28 April 2021 19:08 (two years ago) link
wow yeah it's great. some of her other left-field moves didn't grab me, but i am way into this. not to speak for her, but based on the 1,000 roses fest, part of me imagines that she's thumbing it to the old codgers in attendance there, wonderfully recounted by UMS way back when
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 30 April 2021 00:15 (two years ago) link
ugh is 'grab me' the only thing i can think of to say in lieu of 'i liked this music'
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 30 April 2021 00:16 (two years ago) link
global - I've thought that several times that I think that specific day changed the trajectory of her careerwhen I and (our bandmate MB) went to see Itasca we were buying her record and I mentioned we had seen her there she was like "yeah that whole thing was weird"
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 April 2021 13:36 (two years ago) link
Do you look back on it negatively? I think besides the silly Q&A drama nothing else seemed too off to me honestly.
BTW by then Sarah was already on her way departing from the tropes of that genre, exhibited by her performance at that festival (was overtly not "American Primitive" in any identifiable way).
― Evan, Friday, 30 April 2021 14:32 (two years ago) link
no I had one of the best times of my life, the whole thing was great. and the general vibes were very positive. just some of those really old codgers seemed to have some axes from like 1966 to grind
but again i wasn't a woman on that particular panel, i feel like that could really sour someone on the whole thing
oh for sure, you're right, her thing was way more..free jazz? frankly, i appreciated the gesture more than the actual performance (didn't really seem to go anywhere for me, jazz is hard it turns out)
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 April 2021 14:44 (two years ago) link
yeah her post-solo guitar stuff has struck me as cool, but not quite getting there. this new one gets there, i think.

for the past several years, i've gone to the Pickathon festival near Portland (Oregon), and one of my favorite little games to play is noting which of the artists on the bill i see at the most *other artists'* sets. (poorly worded, but you know what i mean.) a few years ago, Sarah Louise won by a landslide; i remember watching her get *deeply* into Kikagaku Moyo, Circuit des Yeux and Milo (aka RAP Ferreira), to name a few

I think maybe this fits the thread, and I've been enjoying it so far on limited listening. Nice cover art too

cameron knowler is a really pretty album, reminds me a big of ambsace by elkington/salsburg
got my vinyl of the new marissa anderson/william tyler in the mail, really great they compliment each other so well. some songs are exactly what you'd expect but there are some curveballs that don't really sound like anything either has done individually.
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 19 August 2021 17:07 (two years ago) link
Agreed! WFMU's Garbage Time (on Tuesdays) has been playing that a lot among other new things all in this wheelhouse & more. Have you ever listened to it? Great show.
Mine is still in the mail, I hope. So looking forward to it showing up any minute.
― Evan, Thursday, 19 August 2021 17:27 (two years ago) link
yeah can't wait for that anderson / tyler LP.
I've heard the new Hayden Pedigo LP (https://haydenpedigo.bandcamp.com/album/letting-go) and it's really beautiful in a mellow popol vuh kinda way.
― tylerw, Thursday, 19 August 2021 17:38 (two years ago) link
oh and Ben Chasny's upcoming album is a welcome return to his Octavio Paz era, really nice, mostly solo acoustic (a little synthy stuff happening occasionally). https://benchasny.bandcamp.com/album/the-intimate-landscape
― tylerw, Thursday, 19 August 2021 17:39 (two years ago) link
Whoa, ok so both of those were played on Garbage Time too... I think Hayden even came on right after Cameron.
― Evan, Thursday, 19 August 2021 18:03 (two years ago) link
sounds like a good show!

That it is. Minor correction, he played Ben Chasny last week. I was right about the others being back to back.

Liked the Cameron Knowler on first listen. Some of the things I sometimes want more of in this genre are stronger foregrounding of melody, variation in texture, and more extended harmony, all of which are things he provides.

I love his tone, particular the washes and runs on the high strings. I keep having to remind myself that he's Travis picking most of the time (on this album at least).

Is this the best place to talk about how good Myriam Gendron is? The new one took a few listens but it's really starting to grow on me.
And she covered Brian Eno!

following, I tried once with her new one but I gotta hear that Eno cover
― Communist Hockey Goblin (sleeve), Friday, 8 October 2021 02:36 (two years ago) link
The first listen to the new one really caught me off guard, because Not So Deep as a Well was a record that grabbed me immediately, and I think the length and breadth of this one was a bit overwhelming at first, but there's enough interesting stuff going on that it keeps compelling me to go back to it.

What is the best way to get updates on Feeding Tube releases? "Follow" on Bandcamp? Myriam's new one was put out on tape by FT and subsequently went OOP at some point but I never got wind about this release until Marc Masters posted his review on Pitchfork. Would've been nice to grab a physical copy.
― Neal Cassady, Friday, 8 October 2021 03:37 (two years ago) link
Update: nvm, it's only sold out on Myriam's bandcamp, looks like it's still avail direct (link below). Would still be nice to sign up for some kind of newsletter, can't find one atm.
