Alex Argot has been my favorite artist for some time now. I’ve always been a fan of early 4AD.  Bands like ; My Bloody Valentine , Lush, Throwing Muses, This Mortal Coil, Harold Bud, Peter Newton, and Cocteau Twins. In fact her voice is more angelic than Elizabeth Fraser, while still maintaining the energy and excitement of My Bloody Valentine, or Throwing Muses. The song writing and engineering is one step above, reminding us of Harold Bud. If you listen to nothing else this year, this is the EP to play. But be careful, because that is likely to be exactly what you will do.

‘Passing Through All Happy Dreams Like Hallways’ is an album by New York City-based artist Bug Bus Piano (@goodnightbed). It’s on TT.

It’s a world. A zone of elusive memories and insomniac fog. An album of murky mirages, slow-spiralling smoke plumes, gently bobbing streetlights viewed through bleary eyes during hours outside of time. Dream-to-mp3 conversion.

The spectral hypnagogia of ‘Blue And Purple Ribbons In The Hallways’ and ‘Tired’ haunt and soothe in equal measure, while the low-lidded vignettes of ‘Unlucky’ #1 through #6 conjure ghostly, stairwell-dwelling figures. Sleep paralysis angels. Whispering windows and shadows that sigh.

This is night music. ‘Open-Air Factory (Entering The Battlefield Version)’ is a mind playing tricks on itself, ‘All Clocks Stopped And The Dream Rewound’ is pure sleepwalking sugar. Songs that flicker and glow like candlelight, music about half-hallucinated conversations that might have meant everything or nothing at all. Blurry mnemonic outlines of encounters that feel significant, if you could only bring them to mind. There’s truth in dreams, but a weary head is hard to trust.

Per ‘Lucky’: “The path into the light seems dark. The path forward seems to go back. The direct path seems long. True power seems weak. True purity seems tarnished. True steadfastness seems changeable. True clarity seems obscure. The greatest art seems unsophisticated. The greatest love seems indifferent. The greatest wisdom seems childish.”
