Episode 06.20 // feat. Aiko Takahashi & Loscil
Show description
In today's program, I’ve got two new albums that have both made my essentials list for 2025 and are captivating new albums in the ambient genre. In the first hour, the enigmatic Aiko Takahashi enchants us with their transcendently beautiful album “The Grass Harp” out now on Laaps Records. And later on in the program, Vancouver-based electronic artist Loscil treats us to a spell-binding listening experience with his minimalist, yet engaging ambient release “Lake Fire” released through Kranky. Both artists have physical media accompanying their releases — you really should check it out. Plus our conversational topic for today: tell us about the most transcendent moment you’ve had with ambient music! Where were you? What were you listening to? And what was the culmination of your listening session? Let’s strike up a conversation. I’ve got some fantastic tracks ahead — new music from Andrew Lozano, Kilometre Club, Observable Universe & Piscean Daydreams and many more ahead. Strap in and make yourself comfortable, join us for the next two hours for global ambient music, on The Stolace Relay Station.
