Aidan Baker/thisquietarmy - A Picture of A Picture 2009


one of my favorite sleep albums. compared to say, sleep research facility, it is endlessly lively and nuanced. not nearly as much as aidan baker/tim hecker album, which sounds a bit like gentleman losers, but it stays very fluid within ambient drone music. the signature aidan baker washed-out tone + distortion shows up in each song, but it's all very gentle and...well, uplifting. i think i put some of these on a cd for my mom. actually no, i gave her carrizozo, but its a similar tone.

THAT'S RIGHT, MY MOM PRACTICALLY LISTENS TO NADJA

prior to this i guess they (baker + thisquietarmy) released 'orange', which i am trying to find now.

also this album apparently charted at #1 in montreal when it came out. where TQA is from, and where it was recorded, but still. also i had no idea that thisquietarmy is also parallel lines. i am really sick of endlessly productive drone dudes. and grouper. and marina rosenfeld (get ready). and any transsexual and endlessly productive drone artists i have forgotten.
