“Dream Me a Dream” was Tucker Zimmerman’s final recording, and while his MO was dusty, lo-fi outsider folk, his range was much bigger than those labels imply. This is an album that opens out at every turn. What shines most brightly is Zimmerman’s generosity of spirit — a fitting tribute to this most unconventional and quietly gifted of songwriters.

“and remade” is Freda D’Souza’s looping sonic poem, drawn from an installation she built as an act of resistance against enforced clock time. Written across a solstice on a Mersea houseboat and sonified through a solar-powered cassette, each digital download comes with a one-off cyanotype stop-motion film frame.

A new week and a new playlist: ft. Martin Simpson, Mynolia, Shannon Lay, Michael Nau, John Cale & Terry Riley, Bitchin Bajas & Natural Information Society, Alex Dupree, Hannah Everingham, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Laurel Premo, Alejandro Franov, Tucker Zimmerman and lots more.

Morning Rituals & Evening Ragas is a special KLOF Mag playlist that has been quietly growing. It features over 26 hours of primarily instrumental music — 175 artists covering folk, ambient, and experimental genres. It’s long enough to play all day while you work and carry on deep into the night and the next morning.
