Golden Retriever – Sunsight (from the album Rotations, Thrill Jockey)

Sublime ambient ruminations from the Portland duo...

...in which time is made to stand still by a bass clarinet and synthesisers.

The fractured opening actually has a certain feel of ECM jazz. Slowed down and bare except for the odd string slide.

Gradually the analog synths and clarinet take hold gorgeously. Long reedy swells capped by twinkles of keys.

It has a warmth to it and a mood of stoicism that is most captivating.
