Villages - Sun Control

I'm going to keep posting these tapes by Villages until they start selling out as quickly as they should. Sun Control, the latest on Sacred Phrases, is an exceptional piece of uplifting ambient bliss. Massive sonic expanses that just go for miles. The whole thing feels like traveling at the speed of light, and watching the world become a singular stretched out, vivid, beautiful blur. Actually the warm, inviting atmosphere here is an enjoyable juxtaposition against the icy minimalism of last year's Music For Savage Flowers on Headway. Each element feels soft and distant, floating out of reach, but still perfectly accessible. For me, ambient music is about proper selection of mix and timbre, and from there, everything else either works or doesn't. Everything here works.

905, Sacred Phrases, Jozik (Freebies!)

A set of three freebies from three of my absolute favorite tape labels. Spectrum Tickets on 905 Tapes, Christopher Merritt on Sacred Phrases, and an Ous Mal / Punktieren / Coaxil split from Jozik Records. Sounds on these tapes run the spectrum from noisy, to glitched out, and downright melodic. Killer artists, killer labels.

If you have interest, simply email me at guidemelittletape at gmail dot com. The set will be given out on a first contact basis. No catch, just check out these labels and support these artists!

Gone to Martin from Pennsylvania as of 4/4. Thanks and enjoy!
