Songs to Explore Large Buildings and Build Small Fires

1. Andro- Oneohtrix Point Never

Enter through a small sideways passageway. The ambient hum-resembling chants- clouds your thoughts. You have no time to appreciate the contributions Tim Hecker and William Basinski did to allow this project of Daniel Lopatin to haunt you so. You can only focus on the dim columns and decrepit doorways you pass through.

2 Sunbather-Deafheaven

Although it would be appropriate, steer away from Sleep, Pallbearer, Electric Wizard or other doom metal. Instead let the shoe-gaze inspired Deafheaven push you forward. The steady roar of George Clark's vocals and the backing guitars and drums fall upon your ears like the darkness falls upon your eyes. Let the lone piercing melody lead you to construct a large pile of debris during the lull. As the song returns to a roar set it ablaze.

3. Easy Easy-King Krule

Small flames lick the dirty rubbish pile you've assembled. You hold out your grimy hands and rub them together. The darkness is cold. Take a moment to respect your respite. The sad baritone wails away. The heavy throbbing bass guitar pounds through your ear drums but it's the only thing to hold onto. The reassuring fire in Archy Marshall's bleak voice.

4.Holding- Grouper the ashes around so that the fire will not reignite. Walk through the beleaguered building and head towards the exit. Your footsteps match the piano chords-plodding. As Liz Harris's ethereal voice echoes through your cranium try not to let your thoughts linger on what you're leaving behind. The loops and fuzz so distinctive of Grouper's earlier work are gone, but it only isolates you and her voice more.

5 How I Regret That I've Done Wrong- Simon Joyner

Stand in the wet grass and stare back at the solemn squatting building. As the quiet guitar and chimes come in take a moment to reflect on all the things you saw tonight and all the other nights on the past. Lament all the songs you chose not to listen to and all the moments you haven't had. As the bass comes in and Joyner begins singing turn away and head home.
