Joe Boyd is a legend in music from producing Pink Floyd and Nick Drake to his Hannibal world music label, and more. Now he’s written a book about the influence of world music on western culture.
On the next Echoes new music from the psychedelically-inclined artist, Washed Out. That’s Ernest Weatherly Greene Jr, and his new album is Notes from a Quiet Life. It always seems quiet on Echoes.
New music by Caoilfhionn Rose. She’s a British singer with roots in traditional folk music and branches in contemporary ambient and jazz. We’ll hear from her new album, Constellation.
On a Slow Flow Echoes, a joyous electronic track from Covenant Blue and a drifting symphonic work by Max Richter off his new album, In a Landscape, which takes its title from a John Cage work.
On a Slow Flow Echoes some deep ambient improvisations by electronic artist Robert Rich and Italian ambient guitarist Luca Formentini. They head far into the sky on Cloud Ornament.
Cigarettes After Sex makes a hazy, lo-fi rock more like shoegaze music than pop, but his concert at Wells Fargo Center was stacked with young tween girls you might expect at a Taylor Swift show.
Jaymie Rose Hennegan’s Transition tops the Echoes August 2024, followed by DiN’s 25th anniversary collection of electronic music, Trentmoller, Loreena McKennitt, and 22 other great CDs.
