I Survived, It's Over - Rich Ruth (2022)

Ideated from: some new releases I’ve been playing heavily

This guy plays some tripped-out but always laid-back cosmic jazz. There’s an ambient layer to it, but most ambient music doesn’t feature saxophones and guitar shredding. So it’s not your average deep listening sort of record. There is a lot to it.

Tracks I Liked

Older But Not Less Confused - felt that title viscerally

Desensitization and Reprocessing - there’s an edge here between comforting and ominous that I really like

Thou Mayest - a good build up that sounds like it’s going to get furious, but stays contained throughout

Doxology - Just beautiful

2020s music cosmic jazz ambient concentration music sophisticated-ass grown-up music

Hellfire
Black Midi
The sound of your brain bleeding out at the end of the world.

Magic Man
Jackson Wang
...a record that has been released.
