This album…goddamn. S/o to the Herb Sundays substack for putting me onto what’s probably my favorite release of the year so far. It’s a beautiful piece of music front to back; very contemplative, sometimes sorrowful, other times achingly joyful. Can’t quite explain it the way I’d
like, tbh. I have a feeling I discovered this at the exactly right time to fully receive it. It’s a good reminder just how context-driven art is.
Moran employed a Yamaha Disklavier for this, which essentially plays a supporting role to her own playing. Per the Warp site: “Moran augments her pianistic abilities by utilising the Disklavier to write intricate piano parts that go beyond human capabilities, resulting in multi-layered compositions that blur the lines between human and machine.”

here's a completely under the radar gem of weirdo bedroom folk pop filled with bubblings of synths and fluttering flutes and random eclectic acoustic instrumentations, fragments of hooks and choruses, digressions into distortions and reemergences of natural ambiances with waterfall sounds, harps, xylophones, all mixed together in such a wonderful and fascinating way and i've been obsessed now for months... it sounds to me as if daniel johnston in his prime had access to a DAW.

Still thinking about a solo night at Seattle‘s JarrBar in 2019 where the bartender was playing records and put this on. At that point I hadn’t listened to the record in years but it reignited my love of it, as well as reiterated the transcendent experience a good bar/bartender can facilitate. It’s a top-5 bar moment for me, and I don’t take that lightly.
