Local KZSU faves treat us to dreamy/creepy, soothing/freaky collages and streams of consciousness analog synth and found sounds. Very old school in feel but not overtly, pandering, blatant. More like a nod to old Pink Floyd or the like. Lovely stuff, all tracks blend together (so most tracks could use a fade-in/out, or just play on continuous). Greatness. Need to get these guys on Weds Night Live.
1) (4:01) (play 1+2 together) quiet fade-in, nighttime sounds, lovely balms and drones, fades into next (avoid cold end)
2) (6:52) fades out of previous, lovely dreamy wash of tones that get intense as the track progresses, analog synth
3) (3:13) dreamy synth, turns to hypnotic plodding dark percussive thing that leads to a dark dreaminess, quite beautiful
4) (1:42 analog synth and tones collage, loopy)
5) like previous (1:48)
6) (3:44) dreamy and lush, bordering on planetarium music
7) (3:41) very chill
8) (4:13) chill w/ found sound samples lending a hand, builds in long slow loops, then midway a disjunct acoustic noise collage appears
9) (5:58) very quiet looping acoustic samples, chill and trippy, a downtempo beat appears briefly
10) (4:34) dramatic drone fades in, voice samples catch attention, crickets take us out
