I have a friend whom I’ve never met. I don’t know very much about him, but my friend almost solely listens to noise music and old english indie pop (preferably the likes of Sarah, Creation and Cherry Red, I seem to recall). At first this combination felt utterly divided and inconsistent, but the more I reflected upon the fact, the more logical it actually seemed. He told me that whenever he’s fed up with Dead Machines’s brutal doomsday noise, he gives the magnificiently wonderful Blueboy a go, furtherly accelerating against Sunn O)))’s massive sound walls only to drift into dream land with ambient techno master Axel Willner in his ears. ”It’s a nice contrast”, he explained. Considering these arguments, I feel more people’s listening habits should be like my friend’s.
Among the genres above, I’d like to emphasize the ambience part and a song which I got sent to me by another friend. I’ve never listed to Brock Van Wey’s work under his own name before (Bvdub is amazing as well), but this surely caught my interest. This post will also function as the first one of the blog, but without all the ramblings about what got me into designing this blog. Because nothing special really did. So let’s just skip the formalities and instead enjoy plain good music, shall we?. This is Brock Van Wey – White Clouds Drift On And On (Echospace, June 2009).
(I know the sound quality won’t justify the song, but have a listen anyway.)
