Quiet Space — #87 — Josh Mason

Josh Mason is an explorer. His brand of ambient explores personal music — sounds derived from a variety of tools and various processing environments, both analog and digital, that examine themes of family, community, mental health and location.His latest on Florabelle, Coquina Dose is an album of uncommonly intimate gestures and reflections, many of which are inspired by Josh Mason’s lifelong home of Florida—what it means to live there, other people’s perceptions of it, and its unofficial status a “humidity kingdom.”

1/2/3/4 — #96 — Arise, Sleeper!

Sleeper enjoyed huge critical and commercial success in the mid 90s as a part of the Britpop era and return after 21 years with a cracking new album The Modern Age. After disbanding in 1998 and vowing to never return, the band got back together with the intention of performing a few shows, but it became apparent that what they really wanted to do was write new music reflecting who they are now and the world we live in. As well great new releases from Jess DeLuca, Laura Stevenson and Vetchinsky Settings.

Quiet Space — #83 — The Magic of Fabio Orsi

This is a special mix of one of my favourite composers from Italy, Fabio Orsi. Fabio is an electronic musician from Taranto (Southern Italy) specialising in atmospheric drone. In his compositions the languages of popular tradition meet the avantgarde approach. We focus on only some of the great releases from his career, with a look at his latest work, Sterminato Piano.

1/2/3/4 — #94 — Living The Good Life

Within the broad strokes of Americana music, Tracy McNeil & The GoodLife have refined their own palette, expanding on their distinctive alt-country roots, culminating in a body of work that many believe is the band’s finest to date. I can’t wait for their album due in October, You Be The Lightning. Until then, enjoy their new single, Not Like A Brother. As well this episode music from Holiday Ghosts, Cactus Blossoms and Drugdealer.

1/2/3/4 — #93 — From Trash to Treasure

Artist, tinkerer, tunesmith, swamp Yankee, Matt Lorenz is a one-man salvage specialist singing into the hollow of a Dumpster guitar, slipping a broken bottleneck onto the slide finger, railing on a box of twisted forks and bones, rocking till every sound is ragged at its edges, till the house is singing back. He has a brand new collection of songs out very soon on the excellent Signature Sounds label. As well, the excellent new album from Rozi Plain that features a brilliant Sun Ra cover and Jordie Lane returns with a captivating new release.
