it sounds like being in an escape room that is painted vividly, garishly, but is crumbling so intensenly you're not sure you'll actually need to orchestrate an escape. this little echoey world and its intricate architecture of rage lullabies and robot clowns might just eject you. but it's fun to play with puzzles anyway!! a very moving and startling experience.

turrelljames performs as L’Rain and her musical framework is ‘approaching songness.’ Whatever you call it, her music is a weirdly floaty dreamscape with lots of found, manipulated sounds and O% cliches. Heard it on KEXP this morning (another thing I am into) and am smitten.

ethereal, otherworldly and wildly experimental album from Brooklyn based multi-instrumentalist L’Rain. I imagine this is what artsy freaks (complimentary) like Tilda Swinton or Andre 3000 listen to as they start the day.

the princess diaries 2 soundtrack lived in my discman. our living room radio was for radio disney. the boxy glitchy little alarm clock/radio/tape player in my bedroom was for jazz. when cds lived outside of my discman, i could offer them a home in my blue and orange nickelodeon karaoke machine (just a small boom box w/ attached microphone lol, pictured here). & when i was 11 i got an ipod shuffle that i wore around my neck and filled with songs mostly by lemon demon and smoosh (smoosh had recently been profiled in american girl magazine).

only did this because the concept of a rhyme-based movie-pairing scheme is funny, but they were actually sooo gripping together. two very different horror genres operating on entirely different scales (rope as the horror of being in close quarters w/ people, nope as the horror of wide-open space)....but there's such a strong resonance between nope's relationship to visual information and rope's relationship to spoken information. i was Experiencing It. total run-time 3 and a half hrs.
