[Stream] Qurious: “Rubies” & “Gold”

I’ve only listened to the new, forthcoming Qurious record twice, but it’s already one of my favourite albums to come out this year. A bit farther down the ambient rabbit hole than this duo’s previous efforts, Void Vanishing is a cathedral of texture. So many distinct pieces are weaved together perfectly to build an ethereal blanket of sound. Here are the first two singles, which have already been floating around, and then be sure to pick up a copy of Void Vanishing when it becomes available next week.

[Mp3] Qurious: “Photinus”

I’ve been listening to a lot of Qurious lately, especially their first release from 2009, Transmission Permissions. The five plus a bonus track record feels more like a collection of demos when compared to the epic Planet Plant, but it’s interesting to hear the early stages of one of the most unique and impressive bands in this city. Here’s my favourite from it:

[Mp3] Qurious: “Saltation”

I finally gave a listen to Atlanta duo Qurious‘ new record, Planet Plant, which was released digitally for free via Double Phantom Digital in September, and I’m totally hearting it. Sonically, it’s sort of in High Place/Zola Jesus territory, spacey dream pop, but much more experimental and ambient. I’ve got a feeling I’ll be playing the hell of this record for the rest of the year, so be sure to get yourself a copy and do the same:
