Bitcrush To ZXYZXY

The last couple of days I’ve been listening to a lot of ambient electronic post-rock with a decent mix of shoegaze thrown into the mix.
First off is music made by Mike Magoo who goes under the name Bitcrush. The 2010 release Of Embers is a mix of synths, soundscapes and crashing live drums. The central focal point of the album is the Fray The Middle To Meet The Ends that clocks in just under fifteen minutes.



Then I spent some good time with an album called Hansuru by zxyzxy which is music from multi-instrumentalist Gregg Pappas. It doesn’t have a dull moment on it, with lots of intricate rhythms over acoustic guitars that build and build. There’s also a couple of post-rock distorted beasts that are let loose.

Then zxyzxy takes is up another level with the album C.A.B which has four pieces of music that range from fourteen to almost twenty two minutes.It’s an album to lie down and listen to as you’ll be transported into another world as it lifts you up, shakes you around and carefully lays you back down again.
It's a long ride of an album that I strongly recommend.
