Shadow Music of Thailand

shadow music

In case you still don't know, Sublime Frequncies is one of the best labels out their right now (if not the most important). From Bollywood Steel guitar to Palestinian Radio transmissions, Sublime Frequncies seem to have it all.

This new LP is a compilation of 1960's guitar pop known as Shadow Music.

I find it to be one of the more haunting 60's compilations of recent memory. The instrumentation seems to come from a poppy mindset, yet has an intense element of darkness to go along with it.

Every song seems to have it's own personal character too. The compilation never seems to get stale. The album really works as a whole. You don't find yourself skipping tracks.

The artwork is wonderful too. I can't stop looking at the album cover. I find it mesmerizing. I want their instruments!

Anyhow, it's worth the dough to by it on 180 gram vinyl. Check it out.
