Boomkat's description (http://boomkat.com/vinyl/601376-billow-observatory-billow-observatory):

"Nearly a decade in the making, 'Observatory' features Jonas Munk (Manual) and Jason Kolb (Auburn Lull) striving for ambient guitar perfection as Billow. Arguably, they've come close to achieving their practically impossible mission, conducting themselves with divine patience and deliberation across 15 achingly blissful scenes at once evoking the humbling beauty of the natural world and the yearning sublimity of more soporific states thanks to near-surgical application of software and hardware effects. Unless you're au fait with the likes of Fennesz or Stars Of The Lid, you might never tell that the guitar is at the heart of this record, yet beneath its phosphorescing, crepuscular drones and plangent sonorities the simple six string generates all the source material. So the world it inhabits is essentially that one between states, simulating a quietly vibrant ecology of sub-aquatic bass rumbles, washed out expanses of mid-range swirl and keening top end whose elusive colours seem to fade and coruscate in the low light. Lovely."

Michael J.M., the visionary behind Motochord, has charted a dynamic course through sound & technology. This a whirlwind of creative energy.

As a producer and multi-instrumentalist, Michael’s musical roots trace back to the indie underground scene of Southern California in the 90s and 2000s. A guitar player at heart, his passion for Motochord’s sound comes with an authenticity of Roots, Americana, Alt-Rock, and Ambient Soundtrack vibes.

Expect a captivating blend of cutting edge production with lo-fi textures and haunting melodies.

A retro-futuristic garage rock band from a universe where time shattered at creation, spawning absurd, chaotic realities. Blending guitar, bass, drums and strange melodies, their music explores surreal worlds— looping timelines, sentient machines and other cosmic unknowns.
