Listen now at https://monumentsinruin.com/blogs/news/monuments-in-ruin-episode-209-music-podcast Scorching guitar solos? Nope. Blasting drums rolls? No can do. Bass solo take one? Not tonight. The world is filled with sounds. Unorthodox, intentional, soundscapes and noise floors surround us at every breath. This week we further celebrate those who choose to dive into the universe of sound and experiment in deeper distinctions between what the ear, heart, mind and soul may find in equal parts. Some refer to this as harmony. Produced and edited by Bobby Rayfield for May 23rd, 2022 broadcast on the TrendKill Radio Network.

Feeling wearisome? Need to rest? Let the 'Tired Sounds Of...' Stars Of The Lid soothe and lull your weary senses... Released by Kranky Records in 2001. Saw these live on their tour in the UK a couple of years ago or so, in London at the Barbican, and in Nottingham at the Contemporary Theatre, and they were two of the most astonishing, beautiful, moving, magnificent, incredible, fabulous and breathtaking nights of my life... #StarsOfTheLid #TheTiredSoundsOf #KrankyRecords #beautiful #soothing #drones #orchestralsounds #AdamWiltzie #BrianMcBride #SarahNelson #JonMcCafferty #CraigMcCaffrey #PierreDewagter #LukeSavisky #MrKranky https://www.instagram.com/p/BufELaynCQT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h7eew4zocr6f

These are the two covers for Stars of the Lid’s “And Their Refinement of the Decline.” This album is one of my favorites of all time. I’ve been getting more and more into ambient music these last couple years as I can listen to it while doing work, but this album is, by far, the one I have listened to the most.
I love the overwhelming bleakness of tracks like “The Mouthchew” or “Even (Out)+.“ Stars is a band that deals in sad music. Even the band’s most popular track, “Meaningful Moment in a Meaning(less) Process” has a gut wrenching ending that, when it fades into silence, leaves me with a feeling that’s equal parts despair and grief.
And while these feelings pervade across the entire album, they are also paired with a feeling that’s uplifting as well. “The Mouthchew” is 3 minutes and 41 seconds of intense melancholy, but it is followed by the almost 20 minutes of the magnificently titled “December Hunting for Vegetarian Fuckface;” which, as far as closers go, has to be one of the most serene and fulfilling closers for an album ever. Going back to the covers for this album, I don’t think there’s a better physical representation of the last 4 minutes of this album than these two images. You can see the orchestral drone drawn out with the backdrops of green and pink. And when the cello slowly comes into the end of the album, you can’t help but think of the plant leaves reaching out into the green or the circle climbing its way up the peaks against the pink. It feels kinda trite to call this ending hopeful because musical moments like these happen across the entire album. But I feel that the last two tracks of this album are really what push the album up into orbit for me.

Terrible title. Awesome reading/writing soundtrack.
