may 'women of ambient' + my new album 'to belong'

marine eyes ~ may newsletter

May ‘women of ambient’ mix is here!

This month, you can listen to the new songs via BNDCMPR, Spotify playlist (with all the newest additions at the top), and Soundcloud (just for a little while). I've been listening to this month’s continuous mix on repeat and hope you enjoy. I also closed the mix with a song to honor sawako, an absolute legend who recently passed away.

**This mix and all archived mixes from the past few years are available to stream and download for paid subscribers of this newsletter.

My new album, ‘to belong’ is officially here!

My 3rd solo album, ‘to belong,’ is now available in full via Past Inside the Present.

I love that these songs which I've held so close and all have deep meaning can now take on new life with you.

Sending an extra huge thanks to my husband James from ambient mountain house for his final mixes + mastering + support, to my oldest step-kiddo Bird (who makes art as peitalos) for their extra art layer of a bridge in the cover + to all my loved ones who made encoded appearances on the album.

layers in the prism of the stained glass window from the ‘Little Chapel of Silence’ on USC campus which my great-great grandmother created, a bridge from my step-kiddo Bird and the Mt. Pinos forest where i took the original photo
