Last year, I reviewed an album by Swedish composer Mattias Lagerkvist, released under his alias Murkla. Today, I'd like to share his more prolific side project, Ekolali. Championed by labels like Constellation Tatsu, Not Not Fun, and BAKK, and with numerous releases on tape and vinyl, Ekolali is best known for his explorations of ambient and psych-drone. "For Why You Happy" marks his return to these sonic realms, with a solid dose of Seahawks-style yacht exotica and new age loops sprinkled on top. It's a delightful trip from start to finish. Get yourself a tape here.
