belomancie is as mystifying as it is enchanting, the first half i had no idea what was happening, the second half i still had no idea but it was suddenly the best stuff i've heard all year

Anyone seen him live? I have a foreign visitor friend who wants to have some authentic brooklyn experiences and whatnot and I'm debating between taking him to see Sun Araw vs Part Time on Thursday.

I should add that apparently he is stoned a lot.

Saw him and his band back The Congos at LPR a while back. They were quite good but honestly, I have no idea what this show will be like. I'm thinking though that it might be right up a stoner's alley.

Definitely take the stoner to that, and hope he plays lots off On Patrol.

i found the frkwys icon give thank collaboration w/ the congos a little hard to get into at first but its rewards have been increasing lately for me

what are folks' thoughts on the most recent one, belomancie? first listen it seemed a little less organic than the previous ones but i haven't spent a whole lot of time with it

I've never been into any sun araw recorded shit for some reason. I do like gengras' and alex grey's recordings though

I bought it (one of the relatively few CDs I bought in 2014) but have still never listened to it. So yeah, dunno.

Been jamming "Happy Song" hard since last Tuesday. A good tonic for these times.

Heavy Deeds, On Duty/Boat Trip and On Patrol seem now like early foundations of Sun Araw’s sound, and Icon Give Thank a grounded collaboration with The Congos.
Traveling further on his own, Ancient Romans, Belomancie, and Rock Sutra were very trippy and deconstructed, and listening back on them they all sound fantastic to me

those first three you mentioned + “ancient romans” are the ones i keep coming back to. wish they’d reissue “on patrol”, vinyl goes for silly money now
