New Gleaming Corridor album

cassette tape cover art for The Gleaming Corridor's Breezeway. In the middle is a square photo of a beach. There's driftwood in the foreground, and behind is a sandy stretch dotted with palm trees and shrubs. The sky is semi-overcast. Around the photo is text spelling the band, album title, and tracklist. Underneath that is a collection of record label logos and catalog info.

Early last year I decided to start compiling some of the percussion-less songs I’ve been working on into an EP. The EP then sat unfinished until a month or two ago, and then shaped up into an LP during the winter storm last month.

It’s a collection of tracks that I’m hesitant to call ambient, but I guess could be called background music. Inspired by the usual guys; Terry Reilly, Steve Reich, Hiroshi Yoshimura, Tortoise, etc. All musicians who do it better than me, but I hope that my amateur recordings have enough character to make them interesting on their own.

Two new songs are streaming on the bandcamp today, and you can preorder the cassette tape/digital album if interested.
