Absolutely gorgeous ambient music from Will Weisenfeld, who's perhaps best known for his Baths project. Each vignette-like track plays more-or-less the same -- fade in, warm, grainy guitars chime brightly over a cloud of weightless synths, fade out -- making them feel like they're all part of the same train of thought. Reinforcing this are the track names, which read like a poem when read sequentially.
Mend truly is one of the sweetest, most comforting albums you're likely to hear. And the fact that he put it on his bandcamp for pay-as-you-will just makes it sweeter -- it's like he wants to give the world a beautiful gift.

good stuff! I found most of the Geotic material is free. Cool!
ReplyDeletelovely. thanks for the introduction.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great album, but my favorite of Geotic is Neptune, also in bandcamp. It contains two celestial tracks. As soon as I start hearing the second (Neptune), I'm off to the Blue Giant: https://geotic.bandcamp.com/album/neptune
