air mattresses suck.
hi all. i am here reporting from my constantly deflating air mattress, 15 minutes before i have to leave for work!
something lovely and new i found last night;
Ghosts Will Come And Kiss Our Eyes, a new album by
Hrsta. who? yeah, that's what i said. but then i noticed they were signed to Constellation Records, so i knew it had to be a win. i looked into it, and this band is fronted by Mike Moya. now, he was one of the founders of
Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and that is a good explanation as to why Hrsta has a bit of of Godspeed sound with its string instruments. Moya has a really unique voice, and i think it's something you will either dislike/like right off the bat.
the music is eerie post rock, psychedelic in a way. for the most part, it's very guitar based. i think if you like Godspeed (or other Constellation artists) you'll like Hrsta.
here are three songs off the album, two of which are instrumentals:
entre la mer et l'eau douce - hrstahaunted pluckley - hrstasaturn of chagrin - hrstai think aaron has dropped off the face of the blogosphere.
