Angelo Harmsworth - Fluxus Rainbow

Heads up on a pair (see below for the second) of killer releases from Patient Sounds. The first, blissed ambient warmth from Angelo Harmsworth with Fluxus Rainbow. Two side long tracks of some of the purest, biggest movements you will ever hear. Elongated notes that bend and twist reflecting light and texture. Occasional changes that remove and introduce elements almost imperceptibly. Harmsworth has this way about making complex worlds of melody that feel like one singular note played indefinitely. Sounds like a church organ playing sunshine at the ocean to keep company with the seagulls.

Edition of fifty. Clean understated physical product. Clear unlabeled shells. I grabbed mine from Patient Sounds who appears to be sold out. For now, stream in full and purchase the digital on the label Bandcamp, and keep eyes on Tomentosa for distro copies.

Angelo Harmsworth - Pomp

Pomp from Angelo Harmsworth is a cassette both tremendously sad, and simultaneously joyous. Guitar, glitch, electronics, made to suffer beneath a thick layer of fuzz and overdriven distortion. But never to their detriment. Always adding that bit of decay that makes even the most optimistic moment of music heartbreaking and melancholy. I discovered the music of Harmsworth through the recent, Silent Orgasm release on Bathetic, which immediately spurred a shopping spree through to this 2012 release on Holy Page. Six tracks, aching, crushed, wonderfully gritty, and painfully presented with what feels like no reservation. Sounds like creativity left to happen.

Orange tapes with blue spray paint labels, printed on a shiny pearl stock, sealed with a small wrap around something-or-other. Grab via the Holy Page Bandcamp in either digital or physical.
