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.
