Tidal - Olympus (Cassette tape)

I really like what I have heard on Chemical Tapes, it’s a right good label it is! This is a real cool effort by young Jimmy Billingham, someone with one of those names that only cheery kids from the ‘80s who loved playing football and still had longish hair (even though it was now unfashionable) had.

Jimmy makes murky cosmic music filtered through a blurry, drunken haze to give it that slight “Turquoise Hexagon Sun” disorientating vibe like that grizzly unmaintained old tape machine is about to gobble its contents. It’s very beautiful actually and comes across like the musical equivalent of soft sun rays streaming through tall trees in a forest glade on really good psychedelic drugs but with bits of wool soaked in olive oil stuck in your ears. Aceness abounds...
