rolling enya/new age/hearts of space/asmr/ambient healing shit 2020

i know it's late in the year for a rolling thread but i didn't want to wait til 2021 to share some of the greatest new age/adjacent shit that's been healing and calming my ass these past 7 months

1. Lucy Gooch - Rushing EP (sadly gone from Bandcamp now)
2. Agnes Obel - Myopia
3. Ellen Fulman - In The Sea (reissued this year, obviously still kickin' it)
4. Henry Birdsey - Catacomb Relay (one long track of amplified double bass. an ear massage)
5. Leo Takami - Felis Catus & Silence (some TRUE new age music from Unseen Worlds, like classic guitar-driven-new-age era Windham Hill, instant classic)
6. Julianna Barwick - Healing is a Miracle (obv)

y'all into this or no

Well yes. (My Steve Roach fascination remains absolutely key.)

(raises a hand from a lion-carved armrest) please continue

give a listen yall

(great cover too)

roxy, i just started at the top of your list, as i'm not familiar with any of these folks and the lucy gooch thing is very nice. kind of reminiscent of julia holter's floatiest moments. terrific stuff. gonna keep going with your list here.

I'm remedial, this is my first time with the Julianna Barwick

Don't forget Robert Rich!

It's a name your price digital release, to boot.

oooh this Leo Takami is very nice... I've been listening to the new Robert Rich (and the previous one, Tactile Ground) plus the latest O Yuki Conjugate (Sleepwalker) is very strong. they're less on the new age side though

roxy if you are not aware you might love this shop:

They even have that Takami LP as their most recent "Music of the Month" highlight:

so, continuing with your list roxy. . .

checked out the leo takami and it was okay. i'm listening to these as i'm working, so maybe it requires more attention, but it didn't really jump out at me.

just finished listening to agnes obel and it was good — especially that last track, wow!

gonna take a break on these for a bit, but will definitely be popping in here.

Ellen Fulman hitting, absolutely obliterating, the spot

more of possible relevance over here: Rolling ambient/chill out/drone/moodz thread: from 2010s 'til infinity!

this Leo Takami album is sounding wonderful right now. im all about this shit in these days of isolation. thank you

man, I was scheduled to visit Tokyo in early March and had messaged Takami and he messaged back and told me about a show he was gonna do in a little bar there and I was pretty pumped about it and then the 'rona came along and fucked the whole thing up and I honestly am not sure if I'll ever get to go to Japan now :(

The only Wyndham Hill I own is George Winston 'December' which makes me a casual, doesn't it

This sounds really lovely: https://dylanhenner.bandcamp.com/album/the-invention-of-the-human

A Harold Bloom quote is a most contentious starting point for a soothing ambient release.
