about

AST155: Leven Canyon - Loveletters (Abridged) c22

  Leven Canyon is the alias under which Tasmania’s Kieran Holm has been quietly carving out a body of digital releases over the last few years. Many thanks to Daniel Platts’ recommendation, LC’s ‘Love Letters In The Sky’ release from January 2023 found it’s way to my inbox. I immediately got in touch with Kieran and asked if he may be open to seeing a re-arranged version appear in IRL tape format and he willingly obliged.  

As LC, Holm utilises a lap steel, various synth sounds and makes use of public domain samples sourced from the Library of Congress Citizen DJ project and the Prelinger Archives. At times, there is a pop element to the compositions, but the mood overall is a dusty and dusky blend of trip hop, at times skirting experimental abstraction. I’m thankful that this gem of Tassie’s electronic underground found me and I can hopefully share it around a little further.

Death Of A Miner's Cottage

Currently my favourite thing to listen to on headphones while walking around in that crisp autumn/almost winter weather. I just wish it was three times as long but I am also happy to just listen to it three times in a row instead. ghosttropics

Such a stunningly beautiful debut album, which I discovered by accident. It was a near-instant purchase after listening to the first track! Impossible to pick a favourite as they reveal more upon each listen! Amongst the gorgeous cello melodies and airs, there's a strong sense of presence, process & physicality which is intimate yet grounding. A very meditative and peaceful aural experience. Thank you!
