Meadow Argus - To The Valley Below

The new album from Meadow Argus "To The Valley Below", released on Histamine Tapes, sees him utilising the microcassette format to achieve that warm, lo-fi feel. Each of its 14-minute-long tracks makes me feel like I'm experiencing a summertime dawn and dusk, respectively. By gluing sample-based cut-ups with curious, slightly psychedelic tones on "Wheeling Overhead" and diving deep underneath calming ambient soundscapes on "To The Valley Below" (led by muffled keys that ebb in and out), Tynan manages to capture my attention from start to finish, making me reminisce about the peak of the 2010s cassette scene. Super dreamy and so good!

There's one last copy left here, don't sleep! Stream below.

Meadow Argus - Zoom

Meadow Argus is the alias of Tynan Krakoff, an experimental drone musician from Columbus, Ohio, whom I discovered while browsing one of Bluesky's starter packs. His latest album "Zoom" is a 72-minute dive into various organ tones processed through a tape player, drifting slowly and effortlessly through a lo-fi path to the unknown. Unrushed and steady, drone on!

Check the album out here (there are limited edition tapes too!). Otherwise you can stream it down below.
