Turns out I haven’t posted anything by them since March.  Have some gentle synth washes to tide you to bed. of time and tide by former selves

I swear to god, an actual Concept Album. the LAY LLAMAS is a tribe that in the year 2092 AD starts a trip from an unknown region of Nigeria on a self-built spacecraft (track A1) to reach a planet that they continued to observe every night from the earth and inexplicably attracted them. Once there, [...]

This is just lovely.  Soft percussion and distant chimes, from somewhere remote, strange and warm.  G’night. Coconut Hut by Sunhiilow

This is a nice peaceful sound to end the night on.  Click over here for a faster piece, with video. See you on the other side.

I was very fond of Theory Anesthetic when she was recording back in the 00’s.  And, hey, this turned up on Bandcamp the other day and took me back a few years.  Excellent night music. EP 2009 by Theory Anesthetic

A long, undulating piece of ambient expanse from Mark Ward.  Like water pouring through metal coils.

The first track takes about three minutes to get going.  If you like drone and ambient, stick with it.  Long tones coloured by field recordings.  It’s a darkly beautiful reset note for my brain before bed.  G’night, MICROMELANCOLIE & SINDRE BJERGA ‘Prayer Calls’ by Aurora Borealis Recordings

I am a great admirer of Jon Mueller’s record THE WHOLE, so when I saw this link posted by Miasmah on Twitter, I was all over it.  An album that comes with a manifesto, in fact.  DEATH BLUES lives up to its name, and this will set you up good for some cursed, oppressive and [...]

A new record for unsettled post-midnight listening by the excellent Talvihorros.  Click through for physical and digital pre-ordering after you’ve streamed it for free here.  G’night. And It Was So by Talvihorros

Ancient Forever by Ashan

It is clearly Epic Titles Week.  I present Matthew Shaw’s 41-minute opus, in the hopes that your dreams are strange, sweeping and high-definition: There Was Never A Time When Your Life Was Not Now, Nor Will There Ever Be by Matthew Shaw

An EP called EYES.  Good for a burned forebrain.  G’night. (HFPN007) Eyes by Kostoglotov

MISSA CELESTE, by Drop Sum.  Space-cathedral ambient from Kiev. Missa Celeste by Drop Sum

La Mer, by riverrun.  The player below seems to default to the fourth track, which is lovely, but give the whole thing a listen if you’d like something foggily comforting for the forebrain tonight. La Mer by riverrun

Didn’t get a thing done here today after all. So we’ll just close out with this: From their beautiful new record OPEN EXITS.  G’night. Related articles GUEST INFORMANT: Joseph Stannard (warrenellis.com) Night Music: Kristine Barrett (warrenellis.com) The Fonal Jukebox (warrenellis.com)

For many reasons (work-related, health-related, burying-more-pets-related, just-bloody-tiredness-related), I just haven’t been able to get going with warrenellis.com so far this year.  So I’m switching the site to Pause for a couple of weeks.  Normal service will resume with a new episode of SPEKTRMODULE on March 9 or thereabouts. In the meantime, I want to leave [...]

Discovered them last year, and this particular record still does regular service in my office.  As, indeed, it is right now.  Click through to buy your own download for Name Your Price, or stream the whole thing right here: Slow Architecture by Motion Sickness of Time Travel

O-RE-GON by Félicia Atkinson

Ariana and I have been saying we’d do these for years, and we keep forgetting.  Ariana remembered last night.  And so here they are, at the usual place. Related articles Night Music: Kristine Barrett (warrenellis.com) Supers (warrenellis.com)

Music inspired by the QUATERMASS tv series (which I’ve talked your ear off about many a time before), by Ian Holloway.  Ian also does the world a favour by producing his occasional Wonderful Wooden Reasons online music review magazine, unearthing some of the stranger sounds you’ll hear this year.  Anyway, this is a properly alien [...]

Meredith Yayanos, longtime friend and editor of COILHOUSE magazine, put me on to this the other day.  In her other life, Mer’s a musician, and she will be recording strings for Kristine Barrett’s new album, of which this is a preview of sorts. Mer describes Kristine’s work as “ageless, eerie song incantations.”  Which will do [...]

The Optimist by Night Moods

Yes, very absent for the last few days. In the meantime, the new and very peaceful temple music by the unpronounceable gkfoes vjgoaf. And, believe me, this is just what I needed tonight. Healings by gkfoes vjgoaf

Snarling Breeze by Electric Church
