It’s been awhile since we’ve mellowed out at Newdust and posted a nice ambient tune. Although technically this song is half ambient, half electro-acoustic, which is probably why I like it so much. Rough Fields is the project name of UK composer James Birchall, which is the perfect culmination of all of his previous work: folk, classical, rock, minimalism, electronica, electro-acoustic and experimental composition. All rolled into one sweet, sweet package.

And what’s great about the single “Manila” is that it’s made up entirely of rescued instruments and found sounds (such as a rebuilt mandolin or the recorded sound of a mic in a large cardboard box as the kick drum for example). Nice.

Radioseven blends minimalist ambiance with rhythmic guitar riffs that I can’t get enough of. Grab his first EP from Bandcamp and take it with you on a long & winding road, roll down the windows and crank it up. Looking forward to hearing more from him!

Here’s a great remix of Seven Saturdays’s “Au Revoir” by Memoryhouse. It compliments the original quite nicely; it’s a song you can turn to after a long day’s work, when you just want to kick back and mellow out. I love the kid’s choir breakdown at the end…So sweet!

I have an ever-expanding link-list of music that I’ve listened to at one point in time and thought, “Newdust-worthy…I’ll just save this for later,” only to forget about it the next day. I decided to pay a visit to the list tonight and re-discovered this ambient downtempo gem of an album, Untitled by Porto Novo. I don’t even remember listening to this, so who knows how long it’s been since I last heard it. This is the kind of electronic music that makes my ears say, “Yes, more of this please!” Here are my two favorite tracks, “Flora” & “Feather Mouth.”
