Another demo and another artist I didn’t realise I needed to dive into the world of before its sharing with me.
Bluetung is the alias of Melbourne-based Mitchell Reynolds. Room Tone Paintings follows a (fittingly) more club-driven split tape last year for Club Moss and a more kosmiche-leaning album for Melbourne’s jpeg artefacts. At first thought, Bluetung’s production was slightly more hi-fi than I would generally traipse toward in my regular ambient-wanderings. However, it quickly became clear that Reynolds’ approach and its living, breathing result is comfortably-situated in the lush glade first seeded by the likes of Manuel Göttsching, Eno/Harold Budd, Cluster et al. This is a world that I’m more than comfortable to spend my time in and hope that others are able to equally enjoy its complicated beauty.
