Okay, so I'm late to the party. I've heard the name Grouper throughout the years as an artist I should like. I've listened to a couple of tracks here and there. Nothing really sunk it's teeth in.

I'm super happy to have Lali Puna back in my life. They're a a very important band to me. Their new track "Deep Dream" is as strong as any of their previous work, and demonstrates how they effortless walk the line between detachment and emotional resonance. They haven't lost a step.
My current music gear crush.

While the movie was fantastic, one of the better SciFi movies I’ve seen in a while, I was really blown away by it’s soundtrack. It’s a collaboration between veteran film and television composer Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow (Portishead). For fans of the ambient genre there are lots of gems presented here.
