I've been listening to the thread playlist a bunch over the last few days. Lots of great stuff! Probably the one that's most inline with my personal aesthetic is Lake Ruth.

^ Aggressively cute, vapory electropop! Chewed Up is the stand-out I think. Colleague overheard and described it as 'when you hold down fast forward on a cassette tape while it's still playing'.
Aw, glad you liked Lake Ruth, Moodles. If you haven't listened yet, you should also try Hintermass and Emma Pollock from this year (though those aren't suggestions for the Time Travel playlist so much).

A ghost box release featuring former Broadcast members? Sounds promising!

Playlist is updated and, because I love you, I went through that Best of the First Half of 2016 list and added a track from everything that's up on Spotify to this playlist... plenty new to explore!

Speaking of Ghost Box, the new Pye Corner Audio probably deserves mention here. Not yet sure which track is the most time travel-y.

Not sure why but the time travel playlist has been just what I was looking for today.

Yves Tumor's album on Pan is well worth checking out. I'm not really sure how to describe it but it sounds a bit like Hype Williams, and you can listen to clips here - https://boomkat.com/products/serpent-music

Youtube just pointed me to Hannah Epperson, who has apparently never been mentioned on ilx before. Based on this song, she does the Owen Pallett-style solo violin looping + vox thing, sounds a bit like him crossed with Joanna Newsom and Regina Spektor maybe? Going to check out the album here.
― Spiritual Hat Minimalism (Sund4r), Thursday, 13 October 2016 22:03 (seven years ago) link
Hannah's breadth as a collaborative and compositional powerhouse stems from from an eclectic experiential and educational background: from learning Appalachian folk tunes by ear with a cowgirl in Utah to travelling through Scandinavia and Europe as an accompanist; or from touring her solo project by sailboat with permaculturists to accompanying Flamenco dancers in Spain, before finishing her Honours Degree in Human Geography and representing Canada at World Championships for ultimate frisbee in 2015.
― Spiritual Hat Minimalism (Sund4r), Thursday, 13 October 2016 22:08 (seven years ago) link
Wow, the album does not sound like what I expected from that Youtube clip.
― Spiritual Hat Minimalism (Sund4r), Thursday, 13 October 2016 22:29 (seven years ago) link
Everything in that write-up is infuriating but I might give this a listen.
Katie Gately album out tomorrow, Weyes Blood streaming too
― imago, Thursday, 13 October 2016 22:46 (seven years ago) link
Whoa, Katie Gately.
It looks like the front half of this album is mostly electronic and the back half is mostly violin looping? I'm enjoying it so far. (I'm sort of assuming that this kind of lazy on-the-fly commentary is acceptable on this thread?)
― Spiritual Hat Minimalism (Sund4r), Thursday, 13 October 2016 22:52 (seven years ago) link
Of course! I'm still reeling from that blurb though

I'm not a regular in this thread, but I imagine Mary Ocher + Your Government could go over well in here. I can't stop listening to this record.

I just came across her on bandcamp last night (her album is on Spotify too, which is where I ended up listening to it). Apparently her songs get really drummy when she collaborates with "Your Government," but otherwise she's kind of freak folky as a solo artist.

Laniakea is the new duo project of Massimo Pupillo (Zu) and Daniel O’Sullivan (Grumbling Fur, Ulver, Guapo) – not to be confused with the Progressive Trance group of the same name.Pupillo and O’Sullivan met when Guapo and Zu played shows together, but this album is elegiac and expansive (“four galactic heart songs”, in O’Sullivan’s own words); in keeping with Grumbling Fur, but nothing like Guapo’s heavy progressive rock, much less Zu’s hardcore/Jazz facemash or the aggressive free jazz Pupillo plays alongside Peter Brötzmann in Hairy Bones.A Pot of Powdered Nettles (House of Mythology) is devoted to the memory of the late Coil affiliate/artist Ian Johnstone, in whose home O’Sullivan worked on albums by Ulver, Æthenor, Mothlite and Grumbling Fur. A Pot of Powdered Nettles was recorded there too, soon after the birth of O’Sullivan’s son, Ari, and then the death, in the spring of 2015, of Johnstone, Ari’s godfather. The album seems suitably infused with paradoxical emotions, and touched, somehow, by Johnstone’s benevolent magick.

kind of done with time travel thread tbh, there's been so much amazing music this year from such a swirl of genres and genre crossovers that this doesn't feel like the right niche any more. this thread seems to have become a repository for a very specific sort of arty ambient or jazz that i actually have quite a limited interest in.

Decide in your heart whether that magisterial work (whose parent album I'm currently listening to) belongs on
Rolling "Experimental Is A Shitty Descriptor But Whatev" 2017
or
rolling attention deficit 2017 -> 999999999999 -> 999999999999999999
choose wisely
