( email | facebook | twitter ) When we last checked in with Ian Hazeldine , the North Wales-based composer who records as Antonymes, he had recently finished a revealing interview with Fluid Radio , and was a few days from releasing The Licence to Interpret Dreams . Overall our impression of the album was very positive: "a wise, accessible, and enchanting piece of art." One track in particular ("Doubt") was marred with an unfortunate spoken-word arrangement, but as we will [...]

Slow Dancing Society is the work of ambient musician Drew Sullivan, and at this moment I'm sort of lost in the tranquility of "…and to the dust we shall return" from his new album, Under The Sodium Lights . It's the perfect soundtrack for a fading Sunday evening such as this. And destruction has hardly ever been as beautiful as in this video by Latvian filmmaker Ieva Balode, which is the only thing keeping my eyes open. MP3 :: …and to the dust we shall return [...]
Well gang, I'm happy to say that these days our Friday Mixtape is really firing on all cylinders. The recent addition of our new Covers section (brought to you by Cover Me) has lifted the mix to a previously unthinkable level of awesomeness, and our other sections are feeding off that new energy. Alright, I might be exaggerating just a bit (I'm not sure if our sections can actively step up their game on their own), but I'm sincere when I say this tape is top notch. For our new formula, we kept the [...]

Last night a New Age record saved my life. Okay, so maybe it didn't save it, but it certainly enriched an atmosphere in need of relaxation. Priest Lake Circa '88 (a title that sounds like it belongs on a Flaming Lips bootleg) is the latest record by Drew Sullivan, who records under the moniker Slow Dancing Society . This latest opus is a collection of gentle but occasionally restless instrumental pieces that tread the line between new age and ambient. But those are silly titles, have nothing to do [...]
