Slaves, The – “Ocean On Ocean” – [Helen Scarsdale Agency]

humana   11/8/2013   12-inch, A Library

Each of the four sides of this double LP is a wash of ambience featuring the lovely murmurings of Barbara Kinzle. Birch Cooper is the other half of this outfit, and together they make spacious, heavenly, sometimes shadowy soundscapes that have no beat, but you can imagine swimming through the cadences, buoyed by the light effervescence. Good alone or perhaps great if you have the gift of mixology.
