FOND/SOUND (@user-808693342) is a music blog, online archive and radio show who oversee the direct issue of mostly unheard (and sometimes incredibly rare) material from Japan, Italy, Brazil and many other locales, circulating rarities to the rest of the world from their base in Oak Park, IL. F/S’s shares and mixes condense complex musical histories and inside, balmy varieties of balearic, new age, fourth world and ambient sounds emanate from every corner, often artefacts retrieved on personal trips. Their collector and F/S’s founder, Diego Olivas, details accounts that brim with intimate anecdotes. There is plenty of sustenance here for those about to take a voyage of discovery; and enough to more than satisfy more ardent connoisseurs and specialists - helping give often overlooked music a lasting identity.
