IN FOCUS: ROY MONTGOMERY

New Zealand guitarist Roy Montgomery's music was once described by NPR journalist Lars Gotrich as "swimming through phantoms" – it may sound like an overwrought analogy at first, but simply spend half an hour enveloped in Montgomery's tones, and you'll understand. Originally a part of Pin Group in the 1980s, releasing Joy Division-indebted post-punk on the revered Wellington label Flying Nun records, Montgomery eventually unmoored himself from the strictures of verse-chorus-verse songwriting, and other musicians entirely, composing drifting, gauzy guitar instrumentals that channeled his own personal grief and loneliness into a seductively baleful magic.

Ectotherm w/ Ida & Asmus Odsat

An ectotherm is an organism reliant on environmental sources of heat to regulate body temperature. Ectotherm is also a Copenhagen-based record label founded by Courtesy and Mama Snake, home to releases from Schacke, Rune Bagge and Ibon.

Electronica Experimental Ambient

DJ STEPDAD is an ambient and house project from Ted Davis, a writer and music journalist based in New York City. He spends a lot of time staring at Google Maps to calm down at night, and this mix is inspired by clicking around the coast of Northeast Canada on that app, imagining some mossy slice of shoreline that may or may not exist somewhere.
