inca ore
 

we've never had an inca ore thread, just many threads mentioning her.

i remember walking out 3 miles to the post depot to pick up a parcel of lp's i missed getting from the postman. i remember walking home to my old 3 story house i lived alone in and sitting in one of the rooms that had nothing but a turntable, preamp, headfones and pillow on the floor and playing birthday of bless you for the first time. i was taken aback at how understated and small? if that's the right word - that the album was. her new album sea surfer school is far better than i expected. eva seems less restrained and has definitly cultivated her sound.

i really like her blog too http://www.urbanhonking.com/incaore/

from what i gather she used to work in a city and was quite burnt out and frayed by the urban techno enviroment, so she moved to the countryside. she's exploring a relationship with nature and a way of life that's quite inspiring. a very relevant path to take judging by the current state of the world.

ill post something more insightful about the album when im not drunk

Brilliant post, not trying to hit on you n'ik but you write about music in a really interesting way, you're right, it is very understated.. thats the quality that really attracted me to it, it's kinda subtle and undefined or something. I really really enjoy BIRTHDAY OF BLESS YOU and the Grouper split a lot, I had this collaboration between her and Tom Carter (of Charalambides) called "rainbow trout" that is just awesome too. Highly reccomended to everyone.

yeah i'm a fan, hadn't seen her blog though. thanks ni'k
