Koen Holtkamp - Endlessness + tour deets

Lovely Kosmische bliss-out, from one half of Mountains, with the water turning into deep space!

Definitely one for the full screen + full volume treatment. I believe Koen actually makes the films himself for (astral) projecting whilst playing.

The album 'Motion' is out now on Thrill Jockey as a stand-alone LP or as an extended CD release coupled with a second disc called 'Connected Works', compiling all of Holtkamp’s vinyl only releases digitally for the first time. This includes Liquid Light Forms (Barge, 2013), Gravity/Bees (Thrill Jockey, 2010), and Make Haste (A Room Forever, 2008).

Bird People - King of the Grove

Yerevan Tapes do it again! Viennese Kosmische on a C40 cassette with the usual stunning artwork. Out 8 April on pale grey tape with photographic insert. A limited edition of 70 copies. The first side is very much the awakening, whereas the second side heads off into (head)space. There is mention of "Diana worship...sacred woods...fertility cult...The Golden Bough". It's beautiful stuff - check out the second side below
UPDATE - Release party for "King of the Grove" will be in Bologna on April 8 at Spazio Elastico

Right, the track-

Axis:Sova - Grading On A Curve

Really great video by Jeremiah Chiu for a very Kosmische single

another winner from Richie Records/TestosterTunes!
