Brian McBride (1970-2023) was an ambient composer, drone wizard, tonal craftsman, and emulator of "far away" music. As half of Stars of the Lid, the pinnacle duo identified as both post-rock and Arvo Pärt-gardism, McBride is a legendary, internationally recognized name. Many of my friends and listeners know how massive of an influence SOTL – along with the Aix Em Klemm one-off – are on my taste, intellect, and approach to production. SOTL and McBride are widely present in my tracklists and appear often in my sets; I have been attentively collecting this music since I first learned about them in 2003 (thanks be to Epitonic). Today I proudly own all of the SOTL catalog.

For me, McBride's sonic corpus represents several very visceral and personal ideas and memories. Apart from being a glowing representation of immersive distance and landscape, of nature growing intolerant and stating its intentions, McBride’s music at its core is the soundtrack of Central Texas plains and rocky outcroppings, of eroded mountains and dirty, tired water, of the otherworldliness of the Edwards Plateau at night and the mystique of cicada chorusing in harmony with multiple lawn mowers after a violent thunderstorm. It is the tragic music of being from an oppressive place but bearing a profound love for it nonetheless. It is gentle reminders of the environments of my childhood; it is heavy bliss.
