This is a minimal post on relatively minimal muted jazz. I’m constantly on the hunt for non-schlocky slow tempo music that contains space and distance between notes/sounds.

She is a member of the groups F Ingers and Tarcar, and formerly cult Melbourne outfit Mole House. Her output on one of my favorite labels, Blackest Ever Black is scintillating. Best regards, Dave […]

This is cool semi-ambient music from Belfast with an artist name that makes it onto my top producer/band names list with Dumpster Juice and R.E.O. Speed Dealer. II by Arvo PartyStop for the name. Stay for the music. Best regards, Dave Wesley – Lost in Portugal
