Plutonic Rainbows

Sacred Bones has just released Anthology Resource Vol. 1: △△, an album composed entirely of Dean Hurley’s sound design work for the new season of Twin Peaks. Hurley has worked with David Lynch for over a decade and acted as sound designer and music supervisor on Lynch’s last feature Inland Empire.

Twin Peaks: The Return has hosted an exceptional array of musicians performing at the Roadhouse, including “the” Nine Inch Nails and Hudson Mohawke. Hurley took the stage at the show’s iconic watering hole, as well, playing the drums with Alex Zhang Hungtai and Riley Lynch as Trouble in episode 5 of The Return.

You can hear and purchase the full compilation over at Bandcamp.

If you a fan of ambient electronic pioneer Steve Roach, you will be pleased to know he has two albums out now. The first, Long Thoughts is an epic 74-minute piece of deep, brooding electronics. The second album, Nostalgia for the Future contains a selection of shorter tracks - again in an ambient style.

Steve Roach has been one of the most revered and prolific artists for many years now and his new albums show that he has lost none of his fine sense of how to craft beautiful, shifting clouds of electronic aural bliss.

The new works are available in a variety of formats including a limited run of cassettes and 24Bit editions.

This excellent Bandcamp vaporwave release available this week warps us back through time to strolling through a shopping mall in 1990. Midnight Deluxe has done a great job of creating the ambience of that vanished age from the muzak-inspired vapidness of Money and Minds to the slightly sinister Mannequins.

The digital album is available now on Bandcamp.
