Recently one of the most relaxing songs i’ve been listening to is by Greg Davis, its 22 minutes of soft drone, it doesn’t give you much but also never asks for your attention, its very calming and glides out perfectly at the end.
I’ve been waiting for a new Legowelt EP since his release of Nacho Patrol, this track Day Sailor grabbed me right away, we don’t get this kind of atmospheric synth pop anymore I really missed it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
People shouldn’t confuse Minimal and Minimalist in this day in age, Minimal is a dying form of techno made by guys that isn’t meant for dancing but more about how much you can cut up a techno song and then use glimpses of sounds you find around the house while Minimalist is more of a classic sound that is timeless, raw and always a treat to listen to if you get talents like Terrence Dixon, Derrick May or in this case up and comer Actress to unveil something new that sounds old which in this case is a great thing.
Animal Collective has a new EP coming out next month and one of the big buzz songs is a rerelease of What Would I Want Sky which was just a BBC Session track in the past. The song consists of swirling noise and organized chaos which I think is Animal Collective’s strong suit and followed with looped vox to make it indie rock approved.

what is the picture on this post? very nice.
Personally, I would argue that minimal is not dying, and it is certainly made for dancing, but I guess it’s a personal preference.
hm yeah, your description of “minimal” sounds much closer to glitch, and ive never heard anyone use the term “minimalist”… maybe it’s a regional thing?
I love how “drone” needs to be broken down into “soft” and “hard”?! It reminds me of a quote on specialization: “people know more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing”.
Great tunes Jakub!
Keep up the hustle!
Sweet new Animal Collective. Heard about this today, very exciting.
Hall of pure bliss has made the last 20 minutes of my life so much more enjoyable
