Exploring the Light in the Darkness with Big City Cough

sngalbums: Our most important life moments happen at night. It is a time of freedom. A time for moments of self-reflection. For expressions of love, internal and external. For quiet meditation. Toronto-native Sean Beresford, aka Big City Cough, channeled this wide-ranging, labyrinthine feeling into an entire record of ambient guitar picking, and aptly called it Born at Night. Beresford prides himself on being a night … Continue reading Exploring the Light in the Darkness with Big City Cough

Dallas Acid’s Spa Hunter LP is an ASMR Wonder

sngalbums: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods.  I apologize in advance to anyone who is just learning about autonomous sensory meridian response from this piece. Once you start looking up examples of it on YouTube, you’ll never escape the black hole. The sensation is inexplicably pleasurable, described on Wikipedia as being “low-grade euphoria,” brought on by soft stimuli, such as whispers or ambient noises. Texas-based Dallas … Continue reading Dallas Acid’s Spa Hunter LP is an ASMR Wonder

Close your eyes and let the shadows of trees flicker the light shining through your eyelids. … Continue reading Ambient is the Spirit of Music

Pixx Pushes Pop to the Extreme on The Age of Anxiety

sngalbums: The new record from British artist Pixx came out earlier this summer, but it seems to become more relevant across the pond every day. It is titled The Age of Anxiety, but feels less like popping a Xanax and more like an impending technicolor panic attack. Pixx pushes pop music to the extreme, and it pays off in this well-crafted, repeat-worthy LP.  Two years … Continue reading Pixx Pushes Pop to the Extreme on The Age of Anxiety

Panel Releases Their First Compilation LP Featuring the Best of London’s Underground Producers

Originally appeared on Grimy Goods.  Panel is a new label based in London with their first full length compilation, titled Ample, out now. […] When initially organizing the compilation, the label had set out to give it some narrative direction, but coordinating collaboration became difficult. Instead, the songs were made entirely independently, and still, the direction of musical styles complement one another beautifully. With a Panel release … Continue reading Panel Releases Their First Compilation LP Featuring the Best of London’s Underground Producers
