Thanks to Headphone Commute for mentioning the new Arrowounds record alongside these other fine works.

Good morning, and happy Sunday. I’ve gathered another collection of recently released beautiful music that I think will make your day, month, and year a little bit brighter. I recommend that you pick…

A couple of special songs are out today on all platforms.

First up, “Make My Heart Burst” is the first single in an ongoing collaboration between Indigo Street and William Ryan Fritch. Upon meeting, the two quickly discovered that they shared an omnivorous passion for an off kilter array of highly particular musical works; from the Gismonti string arrangements of Nana Vasconcelos’s records to 1950’s Disney, classic country, and one particular erstwhile 90’s band long since fallen into obscurity.

Grab the new single on Bandcamp or stream on your preferred platform here: https://lnk.to/heartburst

We are thrilled to welcome Indigo to the label and please go and follow her on Bandcamp if you will, as there is more on the way. https://indigostreet.bandcamp.com/

Secondly, Arrowounds now has a second single from the now released album "Loneliness of the Hollow Earth Explorer Vol. 1" available on all platforms. Find it here: https://lnk.to/mirroredocean

Out today, Arrowounds 'The Loneliness of the Hollow Earth Explorer Vol. 1.' Happy to welcome this beauty into the world, come have a listen.

https://arrowounds.bandcamp.com/album/the-loneliness-of-the-hollow-earth-explorer-vol-1

Through May 18th, the code: hollow25 will save you 25% off the album's price.

The album is Chamberlain's love letter to the Ohio River Valley, the Earthworks, and the esoteric mysteries of the cave systems in the Southern OH/KY regions. With weavings of Jules Verne and The Etidorpha permeating the whole, as well as the journey inward to find our true selves within the labyrinth of mind.

We will be rolling out some of the singles / edits to other platforms over the next month, but for now this remains on Bandcamp only. Thanks to all who joined us for Wednesday's listening party!

---------

Last reminder, we are keeping the $3 digital download full-length albums sale going through end of the weekend for anyone who missed the announcement. This includes our most recent releases. Plus, vinyl, CD, cassette prices will readjust after this weekend.

Your mom called and said she wanted some esoteric, off-kilter, and oddly lovely tunes for Mom's day. Some recommendations to consider for this month's Bandcamp Friday, happening now.

There is our new Arrowounds album, 'The Loneliness of the Hollow Earth Explorer Vol. 1.' and the massive $3 album sale, and the added BC coupon code: lastditch (code good thru May 2nd)
https://losttribesound.bandcamp.com

From the extended LTS family, we present in this photo in left to right order from the top starting with the second square.

Satomimagae - 'Taba' Incredible new solo work from her. We are excited to now be working with her on a surprise coming later this year. Out now on https://satomimagae.bandcamp.com/album/taba

Several Wives - 'Social Grace' explores uncharted sound from the SW canon. https://severalwives.bandcamp.com/album/social-grace

Lavatone - 'Vessel' is a mellow, simmering beauty to behold, as he pulls back on some of the rhythmics of previous works. https://lavatone.bandcamp.com/album/vessel

Cory Strand - 'No Mercy' Found this 2022 gem and had to highlight it. Gives me vibes of Yuri Logovskoy had he still been making music (for the old heads). CS for life! https://infernalnoumenaproductions.bandcamp.com/album/no-mercy

Glacis - 'Exuberance' new longform territory, beautifully executed, and the physical editions by Oscarson are insane. https://oscarson.bandcamp.com/album/glacis-exuberance

Western Skies Motel - 'Trails' the man, the myth, the legend has returned with a new full length, need we say more. https://westernskiesmotel.bandcamp.com/album/trails

Aaron Martin & Umberto - 'Speak with the Dead' in their first ever collaboration bring dark, sublime, textural perfection. We did the art for this one. https://aaronmartin.bandcamp.com/album/speak-with-the-dead

Dag Rosenqvist - 'Tvåhundra ord för ensamhet' the softer, less abrasive side of Rosenqvist works wonders in these cruel times. It's hard to remain too angry or sad while these charming piano vignettes help to dissipate the storm clouds overhead. Out now on Dronarivm https://dronarivm.bandcamp.com/album/tv-hundra-ord-f-r-ensamhet

04/29/2025

2024 à la loupe : RABBIT'S FAVORITE AMBIENT/MODERN CLASSICAL ALBUMS OF 2024

-> https://www.indierockmag.com/article37667.html

"La part mélodique, mélancolique, méditative voire cotonneuse de mes coups de coeur ambient de cette année 2024, qui continueront dans un second volet sur un versant plus ouvertement expérimental, dronesque et contrasté, souvent abrasif et généralement inclassable.
Ici, on vous promet des découvertes à foison, à rebours des clichés du genre, et surtout quelques-unes des merveilles les plus éhontément sous-médiatisées de l’année écoulée, la faute aux a priori qui malheureusement ont la vie dure et tiennent, de concert avec un déficit de curiosité grandissant, les publications de "musiques actuelles" à distance de ce qui constitue pourtant le plus grand vivier de talents de ces 2 dernières décennies."

Avec entre autres David Shea (Room40), Luke Howard, The Necks, Ellen Reid (New Amsterdam), Ryuichi Sakamoto 坂本龍一 (RIP), Bill Baird, Chuck Johnson (Western Vinyl), Masayoshi Fujita (Erased Tapes), William Ryan Fritch (Lost Tribe Sound), Loren Connors & David Grubbs, Bibio, Li Yilei, Mary Lattimore - Harpist, Julia Gjertsen (Moderna Records), Rebecca Foon, Giannis Gogos (Whitelabrecs), Enrico Coniglio, Kelly Moran, Hammock, Max Richter, Laurie Anderson, Adam Wiltzie, Daigo Hanada, stormloop, The Black Dog, vssp and more...

Incredible to be recognized by A Closer Listen for our cover art piece for Arrowounds 'Burial Trances of the Tentacled Sect' in this article. This is the second year in a row the label has been mentioned here, and looking back this our sixth time appearing on this list in the last ten years. Artwork is huge part of how we connect to music we release, so big thanks to ACL for feeling that.

A great album cover catches the viewer’s attention in a crowded field. A great album cover makes one want – no, need to hear the music. A great album cover is a visual reflection of t…

For the final Bandcamp Friday today, here are some items to consider from Lost Tribe Sound and beyond.

First our massive sale runs through Sunday Dec. 8th, $5 Vinyl, CDs and Tapes, $2.50 album downloads on most back-catalog releases, most newer releases are discounted as well both digital and physical items. Of course our Maps Series and Arrowounds Series are still ripe for discovery.

Find it all here:

William Ryan Fritch just dropped a surprise full-length album, 'Adhesion', which is the final installment in a three album series reflecting on the many calamitous water crises affecting life on this planet. Built entirely around the Cristal Baschet as the primary sound source, this thing is gorgeous and unlike anything we have really heard before. Three songs are streaming now and the full album is out now.

A Closer Listen just named the Arrowounds - Therianthrope Series 4CD Book one of the best packaging efforts of 2024. We still have some of those kicking around. Here is their article. https://acloserlisten.com/2024/12/04/acl-2024-the-years-best-packaging/

Corrado Maria De Santis has a gorgeous new work out on the Dronarivm sub-label Owl Totem Recordings. The new one 'City of Tethers' is wholly engulfing and absolutely worth your time. https://owltotem.bandcamp.com/album/city-of-tethers

-------------------------------
We have to mention CHVRCH STREET, who has been on an absolute tear of great music this year. The last album, 'SKINFLOWER' lurks at a depth that few noise provocateurs seem capable of finding. Finding mastery through restraint, 'SKINFLOWER' is a monolith of brazen solitude. Thought they have also released an exceptional new album today, titled 'BLOODBOOK'. Fans of Several Wives take note. https://chvrchstreet.bandcamp.com/album/skinflower
