Thank you W.A.L.A for reminding me of this. On ep. 18 of LIGHT BEINGS RADIO, the SMARTBOMB selector slipped in “Dark Enya,” a track that just appeared last month on this fuzzy dubbed out new age jazz release: Volume 1 by OMW. Recorded at Santo in West Oakland and released on sixtyhurts, the album features Mark Oi, Izaak Mills, and Zachary James Watkins strolling the sands of some alien planet, riffing on synths and riddims, and playfully stretching out in the studio in a West Germany-meets-Kingston kinda style. It’s experimental music that delights instead of challenges, avoiding cliches by keeping it fun, carefree, and exploratory.
