Good morning, friends. Admittedly, I have been quiet here and somewhat behind in the music I want to share. I promise you, however, that is not due to the lack of attention. If anything, I am focused even more, pouring all of my energy into Headphone Community, where I feature an artist each month, connecting on a much deeper level with a meaningful engagement. If you miss this in the current day and age of thinly veiled unsocial media and algorithmic content, I think you would love this new and intimate space. In March, I featured James Murray, finishing this month with Ben Chatwin, and I'm happy to announce that Erik K. Skodvin will be the featured artist for May! It's only $1 a month, and you also get a significant discount code from the artists' latest albums (it's 80% off!). With that said, I want to share a beautiful mix prepared exclusively for Headphone Commute by Jeremy Young. So why don't you sit back, hit play, and let me tell you more about this artist...
Jeremy Young is a Canadian musician from Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, and a member of Cloud Circuit, Sontag Shogun, and the newly formed Associated Sine Tone Services (alongside Nicolas Bernier and Rutger Zuydervelt). Young works with analogue oscillators, reel-to-reel tape loops, and filtered electromagnetic signals to create his lo-fi concrète compositions. His recently released album, Cablcar, is a raw suite of tape-saturated sketches, stitched together from found fragments and tuned entirely by hand — no synths, no software, just voltage and intuition. In the spirit of this process, Jeremy has crafted this special mix, sharing the music that’s inspired him throughout Cablcar’s creation — a compelling prelude to the record’s elemental textures. Enjoy this mix and see if you can catch Young in person at one of his upcoming live performances.
