So many thanks to Louder Than War for adding Farewell, Doomed Planet! to its top 200 albums of the year! I’m in excellent company with music friends Xqui, Equinox, and Whettman Chelmets, and influences such as Thom Yorke, Lingua Ignota, Mica Levi, Moor Mother, + so many others. See the full list here and keep an eye out for the top 50, which promises to be fantastic!
More archived shows to catch up with from the weekend! Thanks to Stan and Carol (aka Serious Moonlight Sonatas) at WFMU, Burl Veneer at WVUD‘s Permutations, and Lee from Mad Wasp Radio’s Kites & Pylons for programming music from Farewell, Doomed Planet! on their incredible shows. So much good stuff to hear on each of these!

A Closer Listen included Shopland World, which has my song “What Penumbras” on it, on their 2019 Happiest Music of the Year list. “A trip to the local (miniature) supermarket has never been so much fun!” Read the full list here and listen to the album below.
Blair Millen from The Letter just posted an 8/10 review rating for Farewell, Doomed Planet! alongside a very thoughtful analysis that’s still making me blush. For example, “…while Whaliens is as good as anything by Loscil and Cosmonaut Chorus is sibling-rivalry to Julianna Barwick, this is a distinctly unique take on electronic music that demands celebration.” You can read the full review over on the blog.
This horror soundtracks (and music that could be on horror soundtracks) episode of CJSW’s Noise show is so good, and I’m not just saying that because it includes “Harm.” Come for the Mica Levi, Nina Rota, and Jocelyn Pook, stay for the Petra Haden “Psycho” main theme + so much more. Listen on the CJSW website.
