Dth - I Hope I Can Feel Something Like That One Day
I Hope I Can Feel Something Like That One Day (self-released)

This will be the soundtrack to the beginning of my lazy weekend.  Though the record begins somewhat frenetically, soon the energy gives way to a more soothing pace.  Ambient music utilizing found sound, including an interesting ending piece, “Humans Are Like Ripples,” in which it seems many people were asked to rate, from 1 to 10, how they were feeling that day.  This record is definitely something I wouldn’t mind drifting off to … it’s like a lullabye album for weirdos.

The most interesting part occurs, I think, on the title track of the album.  There’s a segment in which recordings of a man speaking are placed next to those of a drum solo, and the interplay between them works like a duet.  They often start and stop at the same time, as if it had been planned.  See for yourself above.

My one complaint might be just a personal thing, but “I Always Feel Like Crying (For Mom)” contains a some chewing noises, and I couldn’t be more annoyed by that sound.  It’s not too aggressive, though, so I’m alright with it, and it’s only for a moment.
