'Marking 20 years of his Sustain-Release label, Richard Skelton's new album feels organic and quietly pastoral, conjuring mirages of landscapes both natural and surreal - a summation of two decades of work in atmospheric experimental music'

So glad you're enjoying it 🙏

New Imperial Valley:

“Like Terrence Malick’s ‘Days of Heaven’ soundtracked by Dylan Carlson or ‘Dead Man’-era Neil Young. Each sound is given time to evolve before it withers, and taken as a whole, ‘American Memory’ is a poignant, sobering listening experience.”

Richard Skelton's latest Imperial Valley volume proposes an alternate reading of US musical history, soundtracking memory holes and totalitarian creep with blown-out bluesy post-rock, sandy drones, field recordings and public domain excerpts.

We're still without power after Storm Éowyn. Thankfully, there are a few hardy refuges to find a hot drink & an internet connection.

Last few days of our fundraiser over at Folded Time. The entire catalogue is pay-what-you-can. All proceeds go towards studio repairs:

The most recent album was released on the day of the US elections, and is built around a 1940s broadcast about the dangers of despotism...
