Delightful 10” extra-player of processed field sound, piano, orchestral instruments and hushed vocal from Los Angeleno Nick Malkin (previous work and production with LA Vampires on NNF, early contributions to a nascent Sun Araw outfit and respected solo album himself as Afterhours). Recorded in the dark hours of a West Coast winter, Christmas Lights Through a Rain-Streaked Migraine finds Malkin playing inside a warm blanket of organic instruments and ambient fx pushing sound into abstract time signature and space (bolstered by glorious tenor sax from Brian Allen Simon) to create four pieces of music that feels like little else. Released on Non Projects who have dropped matter from the likes of Anenon, M. Geddes Gengras and Asura.
