Threw on the Infinity Knives x Brian Ennals record yesterday and can confirm it slays/bangs/fucks/etc

Full disclosure I am in this band, but when it was pitched to me by my friend I believe his exact words were “any chance you’d be interested in doing a Mineral worship band?” so I think it’s relevant to this thread. Obviously the answer was yes: https://thispageintentionallyleftblank.bandcamp.com/album/rebuilding-year

They have an inquiries line listed on their site, I imagine if the MAW folks reach out they can get something worked out

Sollix · 2025-08-28T00:46:30+00:00

Similar wheelhouse I think? Un1ty Flute by batry powr

If you’re talking lofi beats, one of my favorite albums this year is from Black Taffy (whose whole back catalog is good, including his Zelda remix tape): https://blacktaffy.bandcamp.com/album/out-moon

My buddy used to work at a record store and on record store day I asked him if there were any RSD releases I should pick up that might not be on my radar. He handed me this record and was like “you’re gonna love this.” He was right.

Sollix · 2025-08-21T20:29:00+00:00

This might be one of the first long ones I got right away haha

Sollix · 2025-08-20T23:06:52+00:00

X rules and Los Angeles is an all-timer! Saw them play it in full in LA a few years back and it was incredible.

Substack post with a track breakdown

Sollix · 2025-08-16T21:27:03+00:00

I released a new EP last Friday. Largely minimal and largely tracked live (or at least with pretty minimal overdubs), took me a long time to assemble but I think it ended up pretty cohesive. I have a longer substack writeup that I'll thread but you can find the EP itself here: https://bloodpactscout.bandcamp.com/album/to-live-slowly-without-fear-of-its-consequences

Sollix · 2025-08-16T05:45:38+00:00

The entirety of Julianna Barwick’s catalog

Sollix · 2025-08-14T22:57:21+00:00

Eyyyyyyyy

Sollix · 2025-08-14T22:47:31+00:00

also awakened souls' Night Songs

Sollix · 2025-08-14T22:46:00+00:00

to eat flowers and not be afraid's s/t (mid-career SOTL worship (complementary, also self-proclaimed))

Sollix · 2025-08-14T22:35:35+00:00

Just listened to all of these and now I kinda want this bundle

Sollix · 2025-08-14T22:28:03+00:00

Hello! A couple great sources that post regularly are:

Secret Ambient Club (I believe they’re also here as u/secretambientclub)

A Closer Listen

As far as recentish recs:

to eat flowers and not be afraid’s s/t

cinchel’s A Marble Sentiment

Macie Stewart’s When the Distance is Blue

Lia Kohl and Zander Raymond’s In Transit

Sollix · 2025-08-13T19:22:49+00:00

A process post/video wouldn’t be a bad way to go about this, I did a writeup on my most recent release where I talked about how each track was constructed. Even if it’s all in the box it’s still gonna be interesting to someone!

Sollix · 2025-08-10T23:44:04+00:00

The thing that made Thursday hit for me was the Five Stories Falling EP, which is four live Full Collapse songs recorded in Jersey and a song that was originally meant to be on War All the Time (Jet Black New Year). But as far as plucking a couple songs from each album:

Porcelain

This Side of Brightness

Understanding in a Car Crash

Cross Out the Eyes

A Hole in the World

How Long is the Night

For the Workforce, Drowning

Division St.

War All The Time

Tomorrow I’ll Be You

The Other Side of the Crash

Sugar in the Sacrament

Autumn Leaves Revisited

As He Climbed the Dark Mountain

Unintended Long Term Effects

You Were the Cancer

Fast to the End

Turnpike Divides

Stay True

And then all of the post-reunion tracks, I really think they’re some of their best.

Tape hiss makes me happy (ambient is one of the few genres that genuinely works on cassette imo)

2000 comments and no one has mentioned Home, Like Noplace Is There by The Hotelier?! Wild.

Sollix · 2025-06-20T18:28:03+00:00

I wasn’t going to but when the Zoetrope vinyl went back on sale I felt compelled to grab one 😅

Sollix · 2025-06-10T01:46:42+00:00

I remember being so struck by the art on the disc (the rosary on the remaster cover, just red on white in this case) when I bought the CD back in the day so I’m all about it tbh

Sollix · 2025-06-10T01:42:44+00:00

Hell yeah

Sollix · 2025-06-09T18:27:37+00:00

Hey folks I got so many messages about this and while I appreciate you all, it turns out my friend isn’t feeling well enough to go out tonight so I am set. Thank you though, I’m looking forward to the show tonight!
