Bearhead

The new year always seems to get off to a slow start, so this beautifully downtempo album from Georgia's Bearhead seems pretty apt. Clearly inspired by the likes of Bibio, Boards of Canada and Duster, this one's definitely for the experimental dreamers. Stream a few of my picks below, or head over to Bandcamp for the full 21 tracks in The Sixth Volume.

inherent

I'm reaching out to all you Boards of Canada fans out there once again and pressing on with the apparent ambient instrumental theme I have going on this week with the introduction of inherent. I could go on for a while about how this reminds me so much of rain falling or waves lulling...a lot of water basically, but I'll spare you the poetic verse and advise you to take a listen to Seventy and Zuma below, you can also treat yourself to a couple of free downloads if you like:

eyesix

Irish producer eyesix serves up a slice of ambient goodness with his newly released self-titled EP. Perfect for fans of Boards of Canada etc., the standout of which comes in the form of Soylent Green; an intricately crafted, blissed out 5 minutes which sounds as though the key to inner happiness is located somewhere within its depths. Basically it's really beautiful, stream below & head over to the bandcamp page to download the EP for free.
