If someone wants to download the mp3s for that track I am willing to paypal some $ to you - they are not available outside the UK.

Their artwork is suspiciously devoid of any Monsterism.

yeah i noticed that.
perhaps he has got bored with it, and felt like this groove needed a different kind of visual style.

just isolating the balearic-ish stuff from a what i'm listening to 2014 post for the tru-balearic heads who don't bookmark those mainstream threads:
nenad markovic - kayto ep -- the best new nu-balearic-disco i've heard in a long time; on prins thomas' labelmaricopa - pastel love part two -- warm and gorgeous downtempo balearic synth-lovesuzanne kraft - missum LP -- more ambient than his previous stuff, totally beautiful, works very well as an albumgigi masin - talk to the sea -- compilation on music from memory, anybody who follows the new age threads needs to be listening to thisrotla - laguna EP -- some perfect beach-drive balearic a la hatchbackalmunia - xeni EP -- almunia work with the italo disco side of balearic rather than the light and airy guitar-work of their previous stuff, still great

<3 that gigi masin. also like what i've heard of the upcoming music from memory reissue of joan bibiloni's work

Really like the Suzanne Kraft and the Alumnia, despite getting laughed hard at by my boyfriend regularly for appreciating this stuff
― boxedjoy, Friday, 2 May 2014 22:42 (ten years ago) link
what's funny about suzanne kraft? i can see thinking almunia is cheesy if you're a pleb that's not into disco
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 2 May 2014 23:13 (ten years ago) link
almunia is the best for sun-drenched coastal driving

haven't gotten around to all of that list yet but i really dig the nenad markovic and maricopa stuff so far
was it gr8080 that was talking about these weird emi music sweden comps on spotify? because they are excellent! and there are like 20 of them... "balearic blend" to "balearic pop" to "balearic soft rock" to "balearic ambient" and "balearic house" etc. i have no idea how these exist but it's going to be a good summer

That Seahawks LP is streaming right now:
http://thequietus.com/articles/15237-seahawks-paradise-freaks-album-stream
Astral-minded oceanographers Seahawks last week released their second album, Paradise Freaks, out on their own label Ocean Moon, and have kindly given us a full stream. The duo, Jon Tye and Pete Fowler, have been hugely prolific - starting out with 'Omega Beach', their ace Don Henley-Oneohtrix Point Never meltdown, and producing countless remixes of the likes of The Horrors and Tim Burgess - and have now laid down a new full-length dispatch from their titular paradisiacal island, floating somewhere between Koh Phi Phi and the Sea of Tranquility we'd venture.Both Burgess and The Horrors' Tom Furse join the cast of Paradise Freaks, in fact, the former contributing vocals, alongside Maria Minerva, Indra Dunis of Peaking Lights and Nick Nicely, and the latter laying down some overdubs, making for a beautiful swathe of tropical electronica. The songs glide in between ambient waves, alto sax zephyrs blowing over sun-melted analogue synths, and some dubbier cuts, such as the title track and the ace, aerated 'Drifting', anchored down by some fine bass heft and aquatic guitar purls, treading a line between louche soundscapes and some more meditative points, notably Nicely's hazed 'Electric Waterfalls'.Listen above and get hold of it from the band's website here. Seahawks will be playing Kendal Calling and Festival Number 6, as well continuing a DJ residency every other month at the Big Chill bar on London's Brick Lane, while Fowler also has a residency at the Hand Of Glory on Amhurst Road, with his next set this Saturday, May 17.

listened to most of these while driving around tuscany last week, confirming that nu-balearic is the greatest driving music.
gigi masin's vocal stuff scratches a wonderful david sylvian itch
havent listened to the suzanne kraft or rotla.
― max, Sunday, 1 June 2014 21:15 (ten years ago) link
haha i immediately copied those down and proceeded to hunt down copies as well. 'kayto' was my favorite

this sounds amaaaazing, but the rotla ep SO needed to be on that playlist. most of this stuff was my soundtrack for a road trip to new orleans, it was no tuscany, but yeah, totally perfect for a long drive.

yep, that list is great and i need to hear that rotla thing still. i picked up a few other masin things that have been making me happy, the album with charles hayward has some great plaintive ambient piano stuff on it, sort of a different textural approach than the music from memory comp but similar compositional forms / moods. classy stuff.
stoooooooooooooked about the young marco lp!
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Monday, 2 June 2014 20:45 (ten years ago) link
apparently young marco recorded something that he referred to as an "album" with gigi masin not long ago. he talked about it in some boiler room thing. whether it's an LP or EP or what idk.

vinyl only, sellers listed here:

Young Marco album is beautiful and bewitching, as you'd expect.
Total silent procession in the secret grotto at dawn vibes at times. And then at others it's on an early Larry Heard tip.
My only complaint, if I had to have one, is the relative absence of pseudo-islander rhythms a la "later than u think".
― Tim F, Monday, 9 June 2014 00:27 (ten years ago) link
yeah, definitely getting a strong 'sceneries not songs' vibe, dig it.
