Anti-Gravity Bunny

 
I think this might be the highest concentration of my favorite metal in one episode I’ve ever had yet. Gris’ classic reissued, the phenomenal new Mamaleek & Mare records, and my old high school favorite Gift by Taproot getting its first vinyl release that some might consider a guilty pleasure but fuck that, no shame in liking what you like. And this one still holds up for me.

I’m back! Like, back back. I only know of one episode in the near-ish future that I have to miss but aside from that, I have the new keys to the station so I should be good to go for a while. And now that the school semester is starting up again, things at the station should be running more smoothly.

Anyway, this episode is packed full of the good stuff. There’s a new Kyle Bobby Dunn piece (played alongside weird birds), some classic Joseph Spence, some ladies talking about flowers, 1970s Italian minimalism, Lychgate’s bizarre prog, gospel with synthy lazers, and all sorts of other cool shit.

This is a sorta special episode of A Thick Mist because I ditch the 100% vinyl format in lieu of 100% not vinyl. And this one only aired on BFF.fm, not WMWM. It’s a fundraiser episode for BFF.fm and just because you’re listening to it after it aired doesn’t mean you can’t support my show and the station in general. Stop by the BFF.fm page for A Thick Mist, click “support this show” and make everyone feel good.

Also, this episode fuckin rules because I played a bunch of my favorite stuff that either never got released on vinyl or I just don’t own it. There’s Gemini Sisters, Anna & Elizabeth, Nortt, Feminazgul, Mike Shiflet’s new Tetracosa series, some Dust-To-Digital releases, it’s all here.

I think this was an especially good episode, the doom raga mixed with flute raga, the death of rave mixed with Tibetan bells, musique concrète with summer camp field recordings, the new Mizmor, the new Anna Von Hausswolff, master McDowell, and a new-to-me collaboration between Leila Abdul-Rauf and Tor Lundvall. 100% excellent.

The new CHRCH record is the absolute best and not nearly enough people are talking about Leila Abdul-Rauf. OR Timber Rattle, that shit is premium doom drone folk. And that Yoshi Wada/Popol Vuh blend is pretty heavenly. Also, kinda surprised I haven’t played Yautja yet, like anywhere on AGB, ever. Finally remedied that. So yeah this episode rules.

Very happy to finally have both of those ColdWorld records, the new Insect Ark is incredibly underrated, and the mix of Oneirogen with Gregorian chanting is one of my favorite A Thick Mist moments in a long while.

Also, I fixed the clipping issue from last week (someone fucked with the recording equipment in the studio).

Somehow everything got clipped while recording this episode, so it sounds kinda shitty. Sorry about that. No idea what happened. On the bright side, there’s a brand new Kyle Bobby Dunn piece, a collaboration between Visions & Phurpa, 4 new (and 1 recent) releases from Thrill Jockey, and all sorts of other great stuff.

Also, I opened with playing Bloodyminded as the background music, but that didn’t work very well, so I flipped the record and started with Damion Romero, but the songs are short and they blend together with no delineation, so I’m not sure how far into the tracklist I got, hence the “maybe Burning Star Core.”

That RLYR record finally landed and it’s definitely one of my favorite things from this year. Check out the interview I did with them and read a few words about how crazy good Actual Existence is over here. The Thailand field recordings next to Aufgehoben’s harshness was maybe a little much, but the Aelter & L’Ordre Chazili D’Egypte mix was quite excellent.
