Hannah Overton (crying salty tears)

Former convicted killer of her foster child Andrew Burd, Hannah Overton has been released on bond pending a new trial.

I spent a big chunk of July mostly ignoring new releases and instead doing fairly deep dives into the catalogs of Erased Tapes, Type, and Touch—especially the latter, circa 2010–present. If you know those labels, then you have a sense of what this playlist will sound like. There are a couple of exceptions—Andrew Bird, obviously, and Chihei Hatakeyama, though the latter fits in with the rest pretty seamlessly.

July Mix

Hildur Gudnadottir: Til baka (from Saman, 2014)

Ezekiel Honig: Drafting Hindsight (from Paragraphs, 2014)

Ryan Teague: Neo (from Field Drawings, 2012)

Peter Broderick: Patient Observation (from Falling From Trees, 2009)

Fennesz: Liminal (from Seven Stars, 2011)

Ólafur Arnalds: Haust (from Variations of Static, 2008)

Andrew Bird: Don't Be Scared (from Things Are Really Great Here, Sort Of..., 2014)

Chihei Hatekayama: Midnight in Hsinking (from Midnight in Hsinking, 2014)

Stray Thoughts:

Hildur Gudnadottir's Saman (2014) might be my favorite album of the month. It's a lonely record but it's quite beautiful. Her work in general is probably my favorite discovery so far as I've dug into the Touch catalogue.

My favorite Type discovery so far is Ryan Teague.

Fans of Fennesz's Bécs will recognize "Liminal"—he redid it at more than three times the length on the new album now called "Liminality."

I am a diehard Andrew Bird fan, but the new album does not satisfy. Between this and Hands of Glory and Pulaski at Night, I think we've had enough stopgap records—let's get to a bona fide followup to Break It Yourself please!
