Flow State - Billow Observatory
You’re on the free tier of Flow State, the weekday newsletter that recommends music perfect to work to (no vocals). To get our Tuesday episodes, daily Spotify playlists, and remove these pesky preambles, become a subscriber today: Good morning. Today we’re listening to Billow Observatory, an ambient music duo made up of Jason Kolb of Detroit and Jonas Munk of Denmark. The pair record synth and guitar, and then pass those recordings through all kinds of filters and effects, producing richly textured, cinematic pieces. Their self-titled debut LP from 2012 introduced this aesthetic, and we’re revisiting it today. But first we’re playing their 2022 LP, Stareside, which adds a layer of rhythmic elements to this same foundational style. Stareside - Billow Observatory (50m, no vocals) Billow Observatory - Billow Observatory (90m, no vocals) Have a really nice Wednesday.
