The Setting - The Setting (2026)
When I listen to slow, deliberate music there’s a fine line between calming and boring. Sometimes it depends on the day or even the moment: things that are normally calming for me might actually grate on me if I’m stressed or harried. But when the mood is right, it’s great to have something that just injects a little beauty into my world.
I don’t think I’ve labeled anything “post-pop” but this might be an accurate description of The Setting.
The trio takes an organic, acoustic approach to what I could only call ambient music. The Bandcamp copy says the group has a “love of 70s and 80s synthesizer music, ECM guitar albums, and experimental art pop.”
The group has a slow and deliberate approach to the chunks of melody they float out in the ether.
