Markus Mehr, new album

Just time for a quick mention of new music from friend to the show Markus Mehr, from Augsburg in Germany. A couple of years ago, he brought out a really beautiful album of ambient instrumentals, Lava, on the ever wonderful Hidden Shoal label, embroidered with his distinctive guitar drone designs. At the time, he spoke to me on the phone from Germany - that's an interview you can find over there on the right of the page (that's right, I'm not going to link it, don't be lazy, it's just over there...).

The new material is a 2-track album called In, the first part of an ambitious-sounding triptych, with On and Off to follow later this year. Personally, I can't wait. Check out a couple of excerpts from In down here, it's therapeutic.
