Actor is the second studio album by musician St. Vincent, released by 4AD on May 4, 2009, in the United Kingdom and a day later in the United States. The artist was influenced by scores to films by Disney and Woody Allen. To prevent writer's block, she watched films without the sound and composed music for her favorite scenes

The A.V. Club's review called the album a departure from St. Vincent's debut, noting an absence of "the coy, conventional pop winks of Marry Me; even Actor's lovelier moments come tinged with down-the-rabbit-hole danger." Clark has "found her own voice—and it's one you wouldn't want reading your kids any bedtime stories." - Wikipedia

”Victorialand” by #CocteauTwins

Might be their most minimalistic and #ambient record? Well the band was basically a duo at this point in their career. Anyway, absolutely glorious stuff. The sax playing by Richard Thomas on ”Lazy Calm” is sublime.

Soy muy fan de un juego: Four against Darkness. También lo soy de su autor, que además tiene un apellido molón: #Sfiligoi. Es un Dungeon crawler que se juega con dados de 6 caras y papel cuadriculado . Es buenísimo, tiene mogollón de material adicional escrito e ilustrado por el autor y con imágenes de stock. PERO, acaba de sacar la edición revisada, que mola mucho, pero con bastantes imágenes generadas con #IA. Serán como un 20% del total, el resto son dibujadas por el autor ¿Que necesidad había?

Only 3 tracks are available for first time listeners on #Bandcamp unfortunately, therefore I will also link the #YouTube album here below, so you can hear it in all its glorious entirety (with the right ad-blockers or membership of course).

If I remember correctly I think The King's astonishing album art caught my eye via a #4AD tweet. It's labelled as #indie #alternative #folk, but to me it sounds like #ModernClassical #Minimalism because I hear #PhilipGlass influences.

Lush – Gala still feels very summery to me, the staring at the sun splintering of "Sweetness And Light" -- that over driven roar that just erupts, released on a daisy-chain sparkle, something the sun-kissed cursives of "Sunbathing" heightens, scuttered in stormy subtleties. The bright-eyed bleed and steady kick of "Breeze" dipping gorgon-headed into a saturated sea of effects gorgeousness, tightly wound round some wickedly catchy refrains. #4ad #lush #musicreview https://freq.org.uk/reviews/lush-gala/
