RECOMMENDED REISSUE: Peel Dream Magazine: Modern Meta Physic (digital outlets)

Because we accidentally stumbled on this LA band's last album Rose Main Reading Room late last year (“a lovely headphones album which embraces you gently”) we have been immediately drawn to this expanded reissue of their 2018 album which includes new songs and half a dozen demos.

Somewhere between Stereolab, ambient German bands (Neu!, Can), minimalism and the laidback atmosphere of the Beta Band, Modern Meta Physic is – like Rose Main Reading Room – one to settle in with and make you curious about its mainman Joe Stevens who creates these soundscapes and short tracks of samples and spoken word (Wood Paneling).

As we said last time, you probably won't have heard of this project anywhere other than at Elsewhere, and that bears repeating.

This is why we're here, folks.
