I absolutely love this genre of music. I listen to the show called echoes and it's hosted by John Deliberto and it's a program on public radio and he features ambient artist. People that I've liked from their include Steve Roach, and a collaborator of his Robert Rich. I also love Brian Eno, Harold Budd, definitely recommend checking out hi-fi sky and if you like more shoe gaze style I recommend bands like hammock, God is an astronaut And of course the OG's of shoe gaze Mogwai

No, you're actually right. Hammock, God is an astronaut etc. would probably fall under the more post rock genre. Especially now that I'm listening to fragile by God is an astronaut which is one of my favorites from them. I could really talk about this for hours! So if you ever do a hang out, let me know. I would love to compare notes and I bet you know a bunch of people that I don't and who knows, I might know some people that you haven't heard of. I know you're more familiar with some of the OGs like affects twin, Boards of Canada, and yes I absolutely love stars of the lid. I routinely play their albums when I'm falling asleep sometimes. Another more modern entry I would like to submit is Helios, like hammock, he does a lot of soft ambient collaborations with his wife Holly. Not sure if you knew that hammock used to be a band called glass bird, which was a collaborative project between Mark and his wife Christina glass. Another band for consideration is called goddamn electric bill, they're a bit indie but I like them. another newer artist is called locust toy box. and I'm going to stop now before I give you a novel! Lol

Hey man. You may have heard of them or you might also be thinking of the band kraft spells. They were part of that sceene with artists like wild nothing, beach fossils, Diiv, and real estate. We may have to get in to some steve roach during one of our listening sessions my good man.

Oh my gosh, where are these listening sessions happening? I have so many good things to bring to the potluck! Lol anyway, Jamie, I absolutely adore love spell! I have a feeling you might also know of and like bands like the midnight perhaps? And I totally agree with you, this is so exciting to find other people who appreciate this kind of music. I feel like it's really hard to find people who like music that requires you to be still to enjoy the beautiful noise as you called it. 🎧☮️

Hey Sufe! I have no doubt in my mind that you'd pick some killer albums to listen to! A fellow traveler and I do listening sessions through share play over facetime. We both have apple music so it's super easy. Would love to have you for one of our sessions! Not sure if you're an apple music user but if not I'm sure we could totally work around it somehow! I've heard of the midnight but don't think I've listened to any of their albums. Which one would you reccomend I start with?

Hey Jamie, the midnight have so many great albums honestly, but the one I always return to is their 2018 album called Kids. And if you're a fan of beach wave, two bands that I recommend if you haven't, checked them out yet are Hazel English and day wave

I love both of those bands so much! If I remember correctly day wave and hazel english are great friends. But yeah day wave and hazel english both came out with amazing records in 2017 which in my opinion are both underated as hell. The first song I ever heard from daywave was drag back in 2015 and I was like yeah this guy is for sure going places! As for hazel english the first song I heard from her was control. I thought this sounds an awful lot like daywave but with a female vocalist.
