Thanks to Laurence Wilson, Mountain Range’s gloriously happy, beautifully ambient, Sigor Ros-inspired sounds came to my attention this afternoon.

With electronic, nature-infected notes, It’s Lonely Around People, Too at points feels so much like an underwater wilderness I can almost picture fish swimming around my desk.  At any rate, I’m transported away from the monotony of revision and leaves me in a slightly more blissful place than where I started.

Apparently the EP is looming.  However, that was news back in December last year.  Let’s hope it enters our ear-domains in the very near future.

Shinies: Ennui

“Ennui” = boredom?  Or a strange lacking of enthusiasm for what currently surrounds us?  I see this Fabio Younnis-directed video it as a cold representation that as young people move to a time of heightened responsibility they/we have to suppress, or burn, childhood memories.  Apparently, nostalgia now doesn’t have a place in our society and we can’t run life and memories alongside each other.

But perhaps this bleakness is a product of our conditioning and the way we’re been conditioned? 

See what you think.  The track’s pretty ace too.

The Lost Twenties: Wallflower

This track is just beautiful.  All The Lost Twenties’ tracks are. Its got a very Paper Kites and Jinja Safari sort of vibe.  You get the idea?

Anything else I say won’t do it justice.  Just listen and appreciate its beauty and peacefulness.
