As we drift from our mothers embrace
The earth shakes, clouds part, the void awaits
Up through the heavens, floating as one
We leave our mother, our work here is done
Far from our mother, our new tasks await
Unlock the secrets beyond time and space
Blindingly beautiful solo tribal nature ambient/folk. Looking up, I hear her cry split the heavens. Her blessing floats down to me, lightning, shining, cleansing. Her mark sears my body and I am transformed; my cry splits the heavens even as I am split, and remade whole. Dave Aftandilian

Mexican psych band Dorotheo get eccentric à la Stereolab by bringing spooky experimental elements into their spiraling space rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 10, 2023
Beautiful, powerful ritual musical offerings to the Earth spirits. It’s often hard to tell where the made music ends and the natural sound recordings begin: drums pound like heartbeats, flutes call like owls, rattles become snakes become Knowing. Homegrown heathen wisdom from the Pacific Northwest! Dave Aftandilian
