Should have parachuted into bobbins of the past, but there are no fences in the sky

carrying on with the hot streak that he's been on for the last year, it's well worth grabbing this lovely edit that Alex Kassian has stuck up on bandcamp for a limited time...

everything i hear from Faint Waves is supremely chill vibes, "Sea of Dreams" from this EP is one of my go-to sundown listens.

ftr karl I know you said on the other thread I hate balearic but honestly I was all over the (fine, proggier end of the) mid-00s balearic wave - studio, kate bush's aerial, lindstrom, strategy etc - there was a real sense of momentum and build to that stuff at its best, and we're entering the 20-years-later zone so i'm expecting grand-scale balearic revenance soon

imago, Thursday, 11 April 2024 16:57 (two weeks ago) link

my bad imago! i didn't mean to flatten out your taste. i admit i sometimes use you as kind of a counterpoint to my own urge towards reduction/simplicity, but mostly b/c i'm fascinated by where our opinions align

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 11 April 2024 17:22 (two weeks ago) link

haha no problem, i know i very much encourage the perception i'm a maximalism and progressiveness specialist but the reason i even still post to ilx is that i'm still keen to find those intersection points between my own sensibilities and the other regulars'. mid-00s balearic was fertile ground for this. i should really check this thread more often
