Confessing

'The Confessional Tapes' by Aidan Baker. On vinyl from 2015. Ambient, electronic, experimental sounds.

Perfectly placed buzz, fuzz, clicks, ticks, pops and drone amidst sparse piano and vocals slightly above whispers. Sounds like perfection when listened to with the volume turned up at 1:00am and in a dimly lit room. Maybe appreciation takes hearing it while in a certain mood or frame-of-mind, while needing sleep and at a specific time of the late evening with particular atmospheric conditions, but I rate it a 10/10. These are the sounds that I've been transitioning to in my senior years.

Enjoyed it enough that I have two additional Aidan Baker recordings ordered and arriving soon.
