Been in the Lake District getting wet this week, so this is mostly random stuff on the iPod while reading/drying off at night…

Gregg Kowalsky – L’Orange L’Orange. Actually, this is a new thing, pleasant drifty ambient stuff, more a falling-asleep-in-the-bath experience than soundtrack to transcendental revelation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkugbd-StsQ

Pye Corner Audio – The Black Mill Tapes vols 1 & 2. Early PCA, when everything sounded like it had been recorded on a fifth generation VHS tape. Love this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEoERbW0lF0

Rhyton – Kykeon. Slightly ramshackle but nice eastern-flavoured NY psych from a few years ago. https://rhyton.bandcamp.com/album/kykeon

Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet – Savvy Show Stoppers. I wasn’t a devoted fan of John Peel (more a Thomas the Vance guy myself), but this is one band he definitely introduced me to. The first and best of the instro surf rock revivalists, love this album: https://shadowymenonashadowyplanet.bandcamp.com/track/zombie-compromise-2

The Stargazer’s Assistant – Remoteness Of Light. Drummer from Guapo’s dronic side project, lots of percussion and wailing horns in the background: https://houseofmythology.bandcamp.com/track/world-of-amphibia

And the reading material throughout was the fantastic Scarred For Life: the 1970s. If you have any interest in the weirder/scarier side of popular culture from the Greatest Decade Ever, buy this book: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/scarred-for-life-how-the-pop-culture-of-the-1970s-had-such-a-lasting-effect-on-children-a7757446.html
