Climax Golden Twins are an American Experimental rock band with more than twenty years of making experimental music and broadening the limits of the music-making world. The band was formed in 1993 to test the limits of the sonic landscapes they could come up with adding sounds taken from diverse sources like old 78s and field recordings. The band´s unique sound and approach can be an exciting challenge for those who are willing to step out of their comfort zone and face the unknown.

Their release Lovely is one of my favourite ambient releases. It was created by the band as an audio sleeping aid. The first edition released on Gravelvoice Records as a CDR and came with a buckweat hull pillow. “Lovely” originally accompanied a 1997 installation at Bryan Ohno Gallery in Seattle.

At just over an hour in duration is a perfect fit for the program. Enjoy as you fall asleep….
