Spellbinding and existentially contemplative - Bark Psychosis has served as the soundtrack for many of my winter hibernations. Hex as an album was greatly influential to the post-rock movement in the early 90s, with an emphasis on atmosphere placed first and foremost.
Best listened to at 3AM under a wool blanket and candlelight

Ambient alert, this album is easily my favorite ambient album since Stars of the Lids‘ finale from 2007. Beautifully soothing, sonically robust, Hopkins has such a mastery of the mix - frequency, tone, space, it’s all so perfect. I even really like the Ram Dass passage. this album is a song do not break it up into singles is my recommendation.

bleak, ruinous, claustrophobic, beautiful outsider house / techno music from one of the genre’s finest. clicked for me last year and became a great companion for wintertime wandering in the city

This came on while I was on the subway. The repetitive tones washed over me like waves and I found myself staring. I took in the space around me completely but also started to go deeper inward. A common thing people say about New York is that it can be a very lonely city. You’re surrounded by people and yet sometimes you feel so invisible. I enjoy my solitude, but this track—10 minutes long, ambient and totally unexpected—made me sit with that feeling and examine it without judgement. The very act of listening to such a unique and profound piece of music on headphones is lonely. By definition. It reminded me that music is not just a thing to enjoy but something that can move you and guide you deeper. You probably have to be in the mood. It came on for me at the right time. But if you have the patience and need a moment to yourself to think and more importantly, feel, this track is for you. See what comes up

Last Thursday, a meteor appeared in the night sky over Los Angeles. I stood in place for 30 seconds watching it blaze brilliant red and orange before fizzling out suddenly. The experience moved me immensely and filled me with a sense of hope that I hadn’t felt in quite some time. I read later that it was a SpaceX satellite. I wish I hadn’t.

There's something about a wet and humid early morning that heals my soul. It's like a free sound bath. Especially if you are lucky and have a little bit of thunder alongside.
