Rapoon – To West And Blue (2013)

March 11, 2022

Spooky, dark yet somewhat blissful and meandering ambient tunes are the order of the day. To say they don’t really go anywhere would possibly be a low blow – this is ambient music after all – but I can’t get rid of the nagging feeling that I’m listening to a boatload of build-up and then not much else. This is despite the mixed bag of different vibes and textures that Rapoon throws at us. However, I must admit the only track I actually really got into was the near-15-minute closing title track.

Rapoon has a long, loooong and prolific discography. Perhaps I just picked the wrong record to start.
