Here’s an add to this thread of songs and bands that influenced our process while recording the new Rey Late Relics album, OURORA. The Vernon Spring puts elegant sounds at the forefront. We get smashed by the deepest tones in this song. 🛢️

Bonus How To Dress Well song - this video for the song Ready for the World, by Jamie Harley - a Paris-based found footage film maker. Look at how much depth there is in this shattering and simple story. youtu.be/-aR0zxA4lK4?...

We’re back with an influential track that helped shape our upcoming album, Ourora. The work of Tom Krell as How To Dress Well is a fascinating catalogue of soundscape, R&B vocalization, and horizon-wide production. In short, we 💙. music.apple.com/us/album/wor...

We just love the clash of sounds and textures within the framework of the repeating bass notes - and that deep hum in there.

Another beautiful short song that lent inspiration to the first Very Late Relics album - Ourora (forthcoming), Avondale Primer Gray. You can find it on his album released on the Atlanta based Geographic North label. Perfect cover art by visionary Farbod Kokabi!

Here’s another beautiful and inspiring track from Nell Smith (RIP) and The Flaming Lips - The Ship Song, by Nick Cave. Listen to the reverb on the vocals and the bass. Big shout to Dave Fridmann who mixed it just right.

Next up in the Very Late Relics inspired by thread, a song by Chromatics called A Tick of the Clock. This song hit in 2007 on their 3rd album, Night Drive. We were drawn to the production on this track and the heavy night vibes as different instruments dip in and out. music.apple.com/us/album/tic...

Ural Thomas and The Pain - If It Wasn’t For Love ❤️💛💚 This song is a simple soul masterpiece. It’s got one verse, no chorus, and minimal instrumentation - something we’ve really taken to in our soon to be released songs. The legend, Ural Thomas. music.apple.com/us/album/if-...
