Winter Solstice 2023 Mix

All of the past Winter Solstice mixes I've done have featured at least one track by Stars of the Lid (also Coil.) This year focuses almost entirely on the 'Lid and McBride's solo output, in mainly chronologic order, showcasing the evolution of their work.

It's bookended at the start with the Freq. Magnet track "McBride" from an album released on The Sound-O-Mat in 2007 and closes with a deep track from Max Richter's epic 8 hour "Sleep" project from 2014, which also features a documentary and mobile app - link also in bio. I highly recommend checking it out.

As always, I suggest taking an hour or so on this shortest day of the year for some deep listening and quiet contemplation and if you like the music, please consider buying some to support the labels and artists.

Just Released: Duncan Park "Traveller's Peace" cassette

Now available from Aural Canyon is Duncan Park's new album, "Traveller's Peace".

Reviewed by Foxy Digitalis: "This has quickly become my favorite Duncan Park album. Traveller's Peace is a sonic travelogue documenting adventures through real and imagined worlds. Rustic guitar serenades flicker for moments before synthetic rain washes us into a roiling sea. Voices come from all sides in every direction, recounting techniques and whispering secrets before winding back up the path toward home. [...] This is an absolute delight."
