I mean he certainly could return to it at any point, he put this out early last year:

In my opinion his latest record succeeds at what it is doing very well, but I mean it is all relative. I just admire his ability to tie "place" and history and topical ideas into instrumental music in deeply personal ways. Maybe some people do one particular side of it better or are more accomplished at the technical aspects, but I find it really impressive how much he puts into this current one.

I took a little skip through the new one, it seems more my cup of tea— when last year's record came out and I read a description, i was hoping it would feel like the Sacred Harp stuff, but unlike the latter, I couldn't just have it come on in the car and want to enter into it...new one seems more promising.

crossposting from the ambient thread, this is a 90-minute (!) tape of Arvo Part pieces transcribed for solo guitar, I find it bewitching

Seems to be the only thread in which Kayla Cohen has been mentioned before, so I'll throw it here - the new Itasca album is absolutely gorgeous, I love it.
