Late Summer Bandcamp Shopping List

It’s late summer and thinking of seasons changing brings my stress levels up, but thank goodness, music is on the way to save me. Here’s a list of a few beautiful new releases that are coming out around this time. Bandcamp Friday is September 1st, so add these to your cart and check out then!

Seasons Shifting by IKSRE & anthéne
A gorgeous collab between two prolific ambient composers- soothing and inspiring.

unlikely places by awakened souls
More overwhelming beauty from my favorite ambient power couple.

Generation / Harvest by Channelers
Sean Conrad is illuminating the Californiambient scene with this record inspired by the landscapes of his recording habitat in Nevada City and Los Angeles.

Wide Ranging Rider by Golden Brown
Because you can never, ever, ever get enough of Golden Brown’s intricate, fabulous soundscapes.

A Leisurely Swim To Everlasting Life by Ki Oni
I’ve said before that Ki Oni is a master of vividly transmogrifying depicting ideas, images, landscapes, and very specific scenes into music – more utter aquatic gorgeousness here.

Manyara II by Imka
Imka returns with more plantwave, sonic interpretations of plant biodata that sounds exactly like what you’d hope they’d sound like if you could hear them (and now, you can.)

Hot Fruit by Adeline Hotel
I will go out on a limb and say this might be my record of the year – I audibly gasped when I put this record on for the first time. Adeline Hotel’s Dan Knishkowsky continues to evolve, serving something new with each record, always incredible, and this is a crowning moment.

The Recently Beautiful by Joshua Van Tassel
Gorgeous neo-classsical nirvana, certainly JVT is in communication with aliens, just like George.

The Best of My Love by Droneroom
I love droneroom’s ability to quietly effuse emotion through the subtlest layers of noise. All his releases are great and this one is no different.

Variable Happiness by Edsel Axle
Fascinating guitar meanderings from Rosali, who recently was signed to Merge (lucky them!). What can’t she do??

Open Air by Academy Of Light
A gorgeous, streamlined cacophony from this new 14-piece suite of fabulous Los Angeles musicians.

Somatic Prosody by Jodie Hayford
Cosmic ambient bliss, touching multiple genres, expansive and majestic.

In the End We Begin by Plume Girl
Binary-busting, multi-faceted, Hindustani-pop experimentalism.
