Old friends

I was just browsing eMusic to grab this months allowance of music when I happened upon the new album from Telefon Tel Aviv (Immolate Yourself on BPitch Control / Finetunes, 2009), a Chicago based ambient outfit. I've come across them before on the strength of one tune that was on a down tempo mix album and I tried to get it on vinyl but the record company (a small indie label) said there was a limited run of about 1000 copies and they were all gone (although the guy did have a look around their office for me which I thought was rather nice of him).

Anyway, this album might be their last as it seems on of the band members died, but the thing that came to mind was listening to the song that put me onto them in the first place - Sound in a dark Room. I found it on YouTube (where else?) and thought I'd share it with you, my readers. My advice: turn up the speakers or headphones (and if you only have laptop speakers then I strongly recommend headphones otherwise you just won't get the full effect of this), turn down the lights and bliss out for a few minutes.
