Ambient Recommendations

Alec is in the mood for some solid ambient, so I thought I’d throw in my two cents of a recommendation. I’ve fallen asleep to all of these. Highly recommended for a trip.

Yeah, it’s solid:

• Stars of the Lid, namely “Avec Laudenum”
• Zoviet France “Shadow, Thief of Sun” … wicked ambient.
• Biosphere, of course!! I think “Substrata” is my favorite. lush ambient soundscapes.
• Eluvium “Talk Amongst the Trees” … this is ambient.
• Colleen “Golden Morning Breaks” … organic, nostalgic
• Hammock “Sleep-Over Series” … shoegaze ambient, to say the least
• July Skies “The English Cold” … sad, progressive, romantic, cinematic. lush soundscapes.
• Seefeel “CH-Vox” … mechanical, dazed, ominous, dark
• Porn Sword Tobacco “Explains Freedom” … lo-fi, epic, very cinematic

In the realm of post-rock ambient, definitely hit up:

• Daturah “self-titled”
• Below the Sea
• Windy and Carl “Antarctica” or “Consciousness” or “Depths”
