FM Forest - Universe (and a few other tidbits)

 

Imagine a world where time drifts slowly...a world where music carries you away.

FM Forest's first album, originally titled Original Master Recording (Universe) before seemingly getting changed to just Universe for a physical VILL4IN release, lives up to the expectations I had after seeing that beautiful album cover. FM Forest delivers an album that would have fit perfectly in the discography of Windham Hill Records, which is high fucking praise. An extremely beautiful new age album with peak meditation vibes, peak going into the forest and sitting next to your favorite waterfall vibes, peak feeling the crisp air on a dreary day and feeling your stresses melt away vibes. Though this album was created during the spring and summer seasons (per the artist's album description), it's resonating so well with me during this chilly fall transition. All of that to say: listen to the first track of the album below, and let the music carry you away.

Other quick tidbits:
1. Looking for other cool albums? Here are two recommendations for you:
Aexion - ᨖ​ᨗ​ᨆ​ᨊ​ᨙ ᨔ​ᨘ​ᨌ​ᨗ 「Hallow Hymn」 - Slushified late night lo-fi. Imagine if Telepath and 蜃気楼MIRAGE did a collab album together, and it would be this. 
modest by default | Mabisyo - 死​ぬ​こ​と​を​学​ぶ​た​め​の​戦​略 - Though these two are known for their barber beats releases, this album leans more into ambient and dreampunk sounds and is one of my favorite discoveries this year. 
2. This Saturday, Roge Corp is hosting Rogefest 2, a cool URL show/birthday party with a smorgasbord of a lineup. Show starts at 2:00 p.m. eastern, set times TBA. Hope to see you in the chat at https://twitch.tv/roge_corp
