Enjoy the rabbit hole! Gal Costa is my favorite. Most of her run from the 60’s-80’s is pure gold. Also check out Arthur Verocai, Tete Espindola, Joyce Moreno, Milton Nascimento… i’ve got way more—just lmk!

All David Lynch ❤️, Studio Ghibli films, Apichatpong Weerasethakul films, old ECM / new age / ambient, Miles Davis and all his iterations, Sigur Rós live, old Argentinian music—spec. Litto Nebbia’s 70s-mid 80s run, impressionist and surrealist art, particularly Picasso and van Gogh, and so much more.

Have not stopped spinning this since first hearing it a few months ago. Unreal Japanese album from the 80’s, precursor to Cocteau Twins type sound.

💯 it’s a special film. Blew my mind when I saw that they cast the actual former inmates!

Have you seen Sing Sing? That’s a recent one that blew me away.

Been riding the Japanese music train since visiting there a few weeks ago! Have always been into Japanese ambient but loving all the non-ambient shit I’ve discovered. These guys rule.
