about

WC015 ~

Here lies the second installment of A NEW AGE FOR NEW AGE (NA4NA), bringing you further out in outer space and even deeper down the dankest caves inside the universes of your mind. Or something like that, anyway. It's a new day, a new millennium, and a generation of people who grew up seeing ads for the Pure Moods CDs on TV are finally giving NEW AGE a shot. Dust off the crystals, smudge the whole house, get one of those head pyramids to sit under, fire up the extremely digital reverb and synthesized flutes, tune in and vibe out.

NA4NA is organized by drummer/composer Clara Warnaar, who says this of the compilation series:

"When I made an open call for artists to submit, I asked them to submit a new age song- whatever that meant to them. Anything goes-style. That could mean doing a classic New Age song, a metal band doing an Enya cover, something deconstructing the genre, rejecting it... anything, really. I wanted to see what happens when you give someone free reins with a genre that many people dismiss completely nowadays. Part of what's fun about this genre is that it's naturally extremely open-ended: submissions range from 15 minute long drone pieces to lounge music for an ice cave, to spoken word and spacemusic.

Turns out MANY artists have a ~secret~ new age/ambient folder on their computer. The goal is to unearth every artist’s secret box of experimental new age tracks and release them with them. 😏"

The artists on Vol. 2, in album order, are Keaton Synder (previously in The Dodos), Matt Evans (ft. David Lackner on saxophone), VUDIO (Anthony R. Johns), Thought Tempo (Sean Raji), Julie Hill, Bub (Richard Aufrichtig and Charlie Schneider), Thick Paint (Graham Ulicny and Sarah Bohling), Girls That Wear Ties (Evan Runyon), Adrian Foeksohn (Noah Kardos-Fein), Travis Just (of Object Collection) and Robert Karpay.

All in all - - a wonderful group of contributors. Welcome to the New, New Age. Here's some soothing river sounds. Wade on in.

New Topographics

I really love this album. The way the melodic/harmonic motifs seem to have these slight variations and overlap in different ways is constantly fascinating. Also the drum rhythms are just so cool. Also the sort of “found sound” stuff, like the typing and writing sounds, adds really nice texture. Nick Joliat
