ETA: Track 3 is featuring Edward Ka-Spel from The Legendary Pink Dots and much recommended.
It is feeling very summer here, and this is one of my favorite "floating in the pool" albums. Although I am not floating in a pool, nor listening to the 8-track.
These four tracks are four images. Early winter looking over a city blanketed in snow. The look on saxophonist Linsey Wellman's face when he improvises. A grey bird so small it seems translucent against the grey ground which it walks. A nightmare about dark spirits which dwell in the mountains.
Inspired by the music of John Zorn, the AACM, Ornette Coleman, Dave Douglas, Sex Mob, and Duke Ellington, the band plays original music and covers that will keep you listening, thinking and on your toes.
@amclark - Not surprised you've been busy! Hope your wife enjoyed the UK. Very unseasonal weather - June temperatures in March, I even comtemplated shorts yesterday afternoon it was so warm.
Yeah, we had a lot of shorts weather here in western NY too; the kids even played with hoses and water balloons a few times. My wife loved the trip - had a fantastic time.
So I was at the record store, and they were playing something, and I thought "what is this good music with what sounds like Rod Stewart singing? I don't like Rod Stewart do I?" turns out it was this, and they had a used copy when I got up front, which I promptly bought and love. Sometimes it still pays to go brick and mortar.

Very cool--a must for any Chris Thile/Punch Brothers fans. See the Flash Bandcamp Sale thread.
Been busy, so missed a few days, but very glad I took the trouble to read through what I missed - thanks everybody.
Then
(Yume Bitsu - Self-titled. Nice album of laid-back dreamy spacey post-rocky stuff.)
ETA, maybe it's just matching my mood, but the Yume Bitsu's better than I remember it. Very nice.
Currently:
Push Record by Mike Stevens and Matt Anderson: folk blues, recommendable for the harmonica playing.

Painting music. Pretty loud too, and not a word of complaint from my wife. She's the best.
Dustin O'Halloran - Vorleben. Very pretty.
Nocturnal Reveries by Pigeon Roost: eerie psych-electroacoustic, NYOP
Just got this on CD, having had it as MP3. Amazing stuff.
Best of the free Innova albums.
Free
Favorites of Clint Howard and Doc Watson
Really loving this.
Yndi Halda - Enjoy Eternal Bliss
gybe-ish, from 2007, nothing from them since; apparently they are working on some new material according to their website.
Thanks BT
Sprawling instrumental stoner rock. $3.96 on Amazon.
Brute Heart - Lonely Hunter
Local female fronted band who lean a bit more psychadelic than I usually like, but it works for me here.

ETA: I have several of Schaefer's albums; am beginning think I will have to get the rest. "To Lourdes to Madrid" on this one is wonderful.

Astronautalis - This is Our Science
This and most of what I will be listening to this morning is from my weekend brick and mortar visit.
