Avi C. Engel: Mote - Spectrum Culture
The Toronto-based artist’s latest is cosmic in outlook but oddly calming in its delivery.

Once again reminding folks that the ethical replacement to using Spotify isn’t another streaming platform; it’s buying music from artists when you’re in the financial position to do so and pirating them when you’re unable to do so. Or simply ask an artist for the files, like actually.

Every time I hear that an artist has removed their work from Spotify, it makes me so happy! Sort of like hearing that someone has escaped from a cult 🙃🎉

This year I learned that I enjoy a good spy thriller, even though I tend to take in the atmosphere more than the plot. One of my favourites was Three Days of the Condor. RIP Robert Redford.

"The Night is Old" started as just a recirculating riff (my favourite kind). The lyrics evolved later. To my ear it has a haunted slowcore klezmer atmosphere.
