Dream Weapons present: TERRESTRIAL PLANETS C90

 

As you may have noticed I’ve made quite a few 1970’s jazz-themed mixtapes. On Terrestrial Planets all the music presented were recorded sometime in between 1958-1968. My first from this era but probably not the last. With an illustration like this and the matching title - I was certain the cover would end up resembling a long lost Sun Ra release. I was wrong. Misleading art or not, I quite like the visual presentation nevertheless. More importantly here’s fifteen under-the-radar warbles of extraordinary beauty and a sense of mystery for you to immerse yourself in! -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: MALAISE C60

Pure and simple beauty is nice (but nothing pure is ever simple). I’m primarily more interested in an unsettling kind of beauty, though. I’m not sure why. Perhaps I find it more true to life. I do know I respond stronger to it emotionally. Well, that’s just me. Now let’s see if this collection of strangely alluring tunes touches a few kindred spirits out there as well -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: BARE HANDS C60

Pretty, old, folk, songs. Autumnal music. There’s still wonderful folk music being made and released. But the sound and the lyricism of these songs presented here, feel like a thing of the past. Our voices seem to have lost its wide-eyed innocence on the way from then up till now. Understandable I suppose, but I wish it wasn’t so. Enough of that. Our garden abounds with fruit and vegetables, and we’ve gathered baskets full of mushrooms. Autumn is the season of beautiful colors and my favorite time of year! -Moahaha
