gLove - Rabbit Hole 7

A rare mix from the critically acclaimed experimentalist.

Lucrecia Dalt isn't your typical electronic artist. The Colombian singer and composer approaches music-making in the way a fantasy writer builds worlds. Over the past two decades, she's produced a catalogue that reads more like a bookshelf of strange, interlinked novels, each with its own laws, characters and textures, extending the one before it.

Dalt's <i>RA Mix</i> is a fascinating entry into the series (and will sit comfortably with <i> RA's</i> recent archival playlist, <a href="https://1000.ra.co/playlists" target="_blank">Mixes From Artists Who Don't Call Themselves DJs, But Probably Should</a>). Take the opening track, "Cellophane," by Beak>, the band led by Portishead's Geoff Barrow. The lyrics set the tone for the hour to come: "Now the wind has blown down / Now the truth is laid out there." 

True to Dalt's oeuvre, RA.1005 has little regard for convention. Kick drums and beatmatching are nowhere to be heard; instead, she offers a collage of inspiration, drawing connections across eras, moods and geographies. 

The mix includes the work of close collaborators (David Sylvian, Juana Molina and Niño de Elche) as well as excursions into psychedelic jazz (Lloyd's Miller's "Gol-E-Gandom"), sombre downtempo (Muslimgauze's "Enchante, Monsieur") and Korean pop (Leenalchi's "Magic Pocket). Spanning just over an hour, it unfolds like another chapter in Dalt's ongoing project of world-building through sound.

RA.1005 Lucrecia Dalt

Reuploading my full length "STRANGE FRONTIERS" in celebration and preparation of its LP vinyl release. Artwork by Shelby Kistler.

"Completely improvised and live, "Strange Frontiers" is the project from Austin Davis of Wolf Party that builds cinematic NeoWestern Soundscapes using acoustic guitar. The unique sound of this release comes from the serendipity of recording and manipulating an instrument with such organic tones like the acoustic guitar, live, with almost no post-production, maintaining the organic quality of the sound as well as the highly textural and subtle nuance of using a guitar in such an unusual way. This is dark ambient super psychedelic guitar music that will chill you out to say the very least, and inspire and move you inside at its very best. Visual, cinematic, and strange: this is one esoteric oddity you want to give a real listening chance. If you allow it to unfold to you in its own time, I promise auditory rewards! Audiophiles will love it! Inspired by the deserts and hill country of Texas, esoterica, and psychedelia, Strange Frontiers aims to dazzle, captivate, and evoke that kind of imagery as it guides you through a unique, textural, and nuanced sound experience like you haven't had before, while delivering some serious Southwestern vibes."

The Limited edition cassette is available only from Foreign Object Damage or from me directly, as I have only a few artist copes left.

Includes unlimited streaming of Strange Frontiers via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Download available in 16-bit/44.1kHz.
