Moon Glyph records (Lynn Avery, Cole Pulice, Loris S. Sarid, Vic Bang, et al.)

Moon Glyph is such a great label, and it's exciting to see they're finally getting their dues. Shame it's so expensive to get their tapes sent over here, but I do have the FWY! title they put out 10ish years ago which was the first cassette I'd bought since childhood!

They offer a Bandcamp subscription, $10 per month and you get the full discography on signing up. Don't always have the ready cash to make it a year round thing, but I sign up a few times a year and support for a 3-4 months at a time which I feel like I can generally justify...

thanks for that post llold3chordme, I've added a bunch to my MG playlist. Sounds like I should listen to Moss King asap

But right now I'm halfway through that new Atoris album and it's completely entrancing: https://atoris.bandcamp.com/album/sea-forest

I also liked the Turn on the Sunlight album, though it went further into new age territory than I normally go (I was mostly iffy on the vocals/lyrics; the music was all quite gorgeous). It's worth mentioning Laraaji and Carlos Niño plus some other LA jazz people like Sam Gendel and Jamael Dean are on it. I also really liked the one Mia Doi Todd sings on, wordlessly iirc.

Atoris - Sea & Forest is fantastic. Two extended slices of Japanese Kosmiche electronic goodness.

Also enjoying the new Turn on the Sunlight album. I really like the new agey aspects - they're hardly surprising coming from a label that sells 'New Age' badges, and features the words prominently on the founder's own records.

Ordered both on cassette along wth some other goodies (Iceblink LP reissue, Amethyst comp, Moss King). Take my money, Moon Glyph!

I bought the New Age enamel pin ... and a T-shirt. I'm in the tank for MOON GLYPH, lol.

tbc I wasn't surprised by the new age aspects on You Belong—just registering where it landed on my own taste barometer I guess. I was raised a deep skeptic/cynic, so some of the more woo-woo lyrics require effort for me not to roll my eyes (that said, if this was from the 70s I wouldn't think twice about it). I did think the jazzy inflections in her singing were interesting. Anyway, I only listened to it once, so don't mind me, and ftr I also like that pin!

I see where you're coming from, as a humanist/atheist myself. I just see the hippy-dippy stuff as the price of admission to this type of music. I couldn't do a full guided meditation or ASMR or chanting record, but a few cringey lyrics here and there are fine. Helps recentre my heart chakra or whatever.

Full-on cultural appropriation is a different story, however. Not saying that's happening here; just as a general principle.

Two exciting new releases available for pre-order.

Matt Evans - Soft Science is very promising from the two available tracks. The first is a percussion and synth workout, the second a slice of late '70s ECM-style ambient jazz.

Erasers - Distance is a dreamy slice of dark synth drone pop/ambient from Australia.

Listening to the Loris S. Sarid Seabed-Sunbath album for the first time in a while, and it's so good, kind of my ideal "ambient" music.

yeah thats one i return to a lot as well
