Noise Floor Radio Volume 79

Number 79 in a weekly series of Noise Floor-curated playlists.

Anybody else’s listening feeling particularly mournful as of late? Pioneering composer Harold Budd and country legend Charley Pride left us in the past week, and they bookend this week’s mix alongside a lonely-hearted cut from the new Muzz covers EP, some guitar meditation from Gwenifer Raymond, Bert Jansch, Laura Marling and more. Hell, even The Avalanches sound bummed on their excellent new record, a late year-end contender that puts a more melancholic spin on their signature kaleidoscope sound. Reflect and soothe your jangled nerves below.
