Yo La Tengo

Yo La Tengo; And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out. Released in 2000, remained one of my favorite albums.
It sets a somber but reflective mood that it is nice to wallow in. Things are put into perspective, memories rise and fall
A slow starter, sleepy and melancholic, this album makes its way to the subconscious in a way few things do.
Beautiful. beautiful. beautiful. Don't let this one sneak past you.
A wonderful tune from this lovely album;

 

 

My weekly show on Budapest based Lahmacun Radio

 

Horizons Of Suburbia; my weekly show on Budapest based Lahmacun Radio (originally aired on Sunday, December 17, 5-6pm, CET)

Collection of subdued ambience and electronics with hints of nominal piano melodies, lush, sensual, feminine, full-bodied string arrangements with piano and voice. There is a hint of contemporary classical string work going on, diving into the icy ambience. Drones sliding in and out through this elegant collection, floating off into oblivion.

In this show I'll play tunes from; Lucinda Chua, Daughter, Gimu, Daniva Danive, Naono, Blue Sky Research and others

My weekly show on Budapest based Lahmacun Radio

Strange Stories; my  radio show on Budapest based Lahmacun radio (originally aired on Sunday, December 03, 5-6pm, CET). A wall of machine driven sounds are closing in, and you have the distinct sensation of sitting in at a strange shamanistic ritual, drift off into an ethereal wilderness, a forlorn realm of landscapes that feel at the same time as intimate as your own body sounds yet hauntingly desolate and unfamiliar 

In this show; Absolute Body Control, Klinik, Cabaret Voltaire, Click Click, Thcontroll and more Cover photo: Igor B (aka Geigercounterculture)

Lucinda Chua; Antidotes 2

Until I Fall' by Lucinda Chua, from the EP; Antidotes 2 (released May 7, 2021, 4AD) Breathtaking tune.There's a perceptible influence of David Sylvian
 

What is more beautiful tonight
And bluer than the sky
I had to climb
Higher and higher
Until I fall, until I fall
Until I fall, until I fall
Until I fall, until I fall
Until I fall, until

Slowdive - Everything Is Alive

Slowdive’s fifth full-length, Everything Is Alive (released September 1, 2023) radiate a majestic and fragile beauty. It may only contain eight tracks, but Slowdive manage to craft an album of profound beauty full of emotional heft, which encompasses sadness, joy, gratitude, and ultimately optimism. There is an intimate, insular feeling to the record. Slow-paced and spacy-sounding dream pop, this album became an instant favorite of mine https://slowdive.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-alive

A Place to Bury Strangers; this Brooklyn trio drenches lovesick indie pop in sheets of deafening static and distortion. Heavy, atmospheric wall of sound-influenced blend of tinnitus-inducing noise-rock, shoegaze. Plenty of bands have tapped the trebly, ecstatic side of shoegaze in recent years, but none have imbued it with this band's frustrated aggression or lacerating feedback Easy Life from the album Rare Meat - Demos And Rarities 2003-2017

Snowstorm by ▲ı▼ı▲

New wave/electronic beats and sounds (almost shoegaze but not quite) and ethereal vocal harmonies fuse in this dark yet playful EP based on a Galaxie 500 tune. Edgy, eerily calming mood that is carefully curated. Electric and experimental, with haunting themes. The dark imagery of wayward romance punctuated by angst and heartache wraps you around its finger, pulling you deeper and deeper into the Snowstorm https://eschaton23.bandcamp.com/album/snowstorm
