I’m 50 today!!! This is the music that keeps me feeling (relatively) young:
Ilyas Ahmed – The Vertigo of Dawn
Spiritual humming, acoustic strumming and meditational chimes – the latest in a line of impressive releases by this much underrated multi-instrumentalist born in Pakistan in 1974 and raised in New Jersey. Last seen in Portland, Oregon. If you like Six Organs of Admittance, this will be right up your street.
Animal Collective – Water Curses (ep)
By now, Animal Collective’s brand of psych-pop needs little introduction. The Wire magazine recently claimed they were running out of ideas but there’s little evidence of it on this fine 4 track ep.
