thoughts on air


"Old Frontiers is extremely thrilled to offer this explosive package of colours and sounds from Hamilton's own Thoughts on Air/Scott Johnson. Where to begin? How about with 100 minutes of blissful bedroom gems? The tracks range from fuzzed-outer space psychedelia to scuzzy love songs to prime examples of Scott's signature shimmery-sparkling guitar sound and everything in between.


In keeping with the concept of randomness, included is a twelve page art-book of pieces made by Scott & Sean on a colour photocopier using a technique of blending images by feeding the paper back through the machine: a unique process with fortuitous results." old frontiers

pensamientos al viento, qué gran nombre y qué bien refleja las pinceladas de ambient, drone y bedroom folk de Scott Johnson, una de esas personas que siempre son una garantía de belleza (bandicoot trail o su propio sello cloud valley), de los que miman cada detalle ~ formato (cassettes, 3'', 7''), diseño (un mini-libro de veinte páginas con fotografías hechas con una fotocopiadora de color y métodos inusuales) y por supuesto la música ~ sus canciones, loops de guitarras cristalinas y sintetizadores luminosos, fluidas y grooveantes, podrían esconderse sin que apenas lo notes en alguno de los pliegues de los discos de Mark McGuire, Black Eagle Child o Sparkling Wide Pressure, pero siempre rodeadas de un halo del todo inclasificable gracias al uso esporádico de la voz y a la variedad de estilos en la que todo parece ordenado de una manera distinta, ajeno a la música de su alrededor. sólo expresiones como 'para flotar en una nube' podrían definir canciones como 'slow on' (glow on remix), 'hop (with scotch)' (soleada y triste, me recuerda a Panda Bear y a Ducktails) y los primeros minutos de esa preciosidad llamada 'organ of youth/summer sizzle'.

motion sickness of time travel


"angelic croons of synergetic babylon follow and merge with sonic dream synapsis...the elevator cruises on pulse-o-matic mode, the walls glow infinitely and as you stare upwards at the plastered ceiling long enough you see remnants of omni-consciousness taking life and sending subliminal messages of further knowledge....makes one feel that one rachel evans is completely in tune with the light matter magic of the universe...the automatic doors open ad you are propelled into a digitized utopia where the sounds take shape into tropic life drawing you in. magical as personal creativity should be, rachel roses per usual ~ reps the highest par of beautiful synth/vocal hypnosis/mind healing music." old frontiers

hobo cubes / reedbeds


"Hobo Cubes is Montreal’s Francesco De Gallo. On Slow Summer Soul, he digs away at the concept of summer listlessness. Approaching the solstice time stretches its legs, and then gives way to increasingly shorter summer days. There’s a point in the evening, as the sun is setting, where its colour intensifies and imparts a recognition that nothing lasts forever, not even summer. That’s where this music lives." old frontiers


"Reedbeds is Sacramento’s Carter Mullin. Ornate guitar loops transport us to a botanical garden for a nature walk at dawn. Appropriately titled, Heirloom Rust Garden takes long deep breaths. These waves of sound gently construct spiritual origami. Inner wellness ensues." old frontiers
