Purelink (Guest rec from Andrew Tasselmyer)
Welcome back to Flow State, your daily instrumental music newsletter. Paid subscribers get a daily Spotify playlist, unlock the weekly Tuesday podcast, and keep this newsletter alive. If you enjoy Flow State, consider upgrading to paid (which also removes this preamble): Today’s Friday upbeat rec comes from Andrew Tasselmyer, a musician from Baltimore now based in Philadelphia. In his solo practice and collaborative projects with Hotel Neon, Gray Acres, and Mordançage, he uses samplers and field recordings to make atmospheric music with a sense of texture and tactility. Andrew is the author of Sound Methods, a newsletter and podcast focused on the creative processes behind his and other musicians’ work. I'd like to recommend Purelink, a Brooklyn trio with roots in Chicago that consists of Tommy Paslaski (aka Concave Reflection), Ben Paulson (aka Kindtree), and Akeem Asani (aka Millia). They defy neat and easy labeling, but Philip Sherburne describes it best in his review of 2023's Signs as "a virtual steambath of foggy chords, chest-massaging bass, and sumptuous, ultra-vivid textures." The music is deep and absorbing. Careful listening is rewarded with seemingly endless layers of detail. The chemistry is so apparent that it's difficult to believe they've only been playing together since 2021. Fans of Jan Jelinek, Deepchord, Shuttle358, and similar strains of experimental/rhythmic ambience will find a lot to love here. Highly recommended. Signs - Purelink (40m, no vocals) Purelink - Purelink (30m, no vocals) Have a purely great weekend.
