about

A reissue of the sold out cassette from 2019, this split between the two Portland experimental artists feels like a natural extension of a sonic space the two have been circling for years.

Most known for his experimentation in crafting lovingly warped tape loops and ambient guitar work that rings out with an emotional clarity even when it is processed beyond recognition, Randall Taylor brings some of his most abstract work to the table with a track like "ASTRAL" and hits squarely in the chest with the heartbreaking "DISMANTLED".

AMULETS is joined by drowse - Kyle Bates's long running experimental shoegaze project. drowse's songs are known for stitching together heavy shoegaze guitars and deconstructed ambient passages that glow with a pale gray light with heavy subject matter that delve into unflinching personal accounts of mental health and loss.

A lot of life has happened between the years this album was released. We are honored to bring this hard to find cassette back into the lives of old fans and introduce new ones.

Galactic moods and the interstellar abyss, these songs were constructed with love, tape loops, guitar, and an OP-1.

All songs written by Randall Taylor.

Amulets employs handmade cassette tape loops and live processed guitar loops to create live, lush soundscapes and immersive drones. Through the recontextualisation of cassettes, sampling, field recording, and looping, these long-form compositions blur the genres of ambient, drone, noise, and electronic music. ... more

Nouvelles Aurores is the latest and greatest from Hugo Paris. Highly recommend this beautiful ambient record, especially tracks “Blossoms” and “Wilt” because I played on them :) AMULETS
