It took some extra time to put together a playlist I felt comfortable with for this episode of the podcast as there were so many excellent new releases and tracks to comb through. In fact, many of my favorite artists are included here on this show. On the cassette front, though, I can’t say enough good things about the new Half High and Nagual & Carl Mitchell releases. Both feature impeccable artwork and packaging, and they contain some heavy, deep listening, side-long pieces. The new Charles Barabé and Lake Mary tapes also fall quite solidly into those categories, too. On wax, the new Matt Krefting and M. Sage full-length albums will likely go down as two of my FFFavorites of the year. Both have a way of arranging various found sounds and acoustic instrumentation to hauntingly beautiful ends. Troy Schafer, however, pushes this approach even further with a new 7″ on Signal Dreams that straight-up floored me when I first heard it. It was obvious from his Evening Song Awaken CD-R on Recital from a few years ago that this guy had instrumental chops and a knack for composing, but this new single is an entirely different beast altogether. I could go on-and-on about this release, and all the others for that matter, but for now I’ll simply encourage you to give FFFoxy Podcast #40 a listen and see what you think. I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments.
