Yr Lovely Dead Moon (FITH) & Jamuel: The Wednesday Alternative Mix

Yr Lovely Dead Moon is the project of Rachel Margetts, an experimental musician and poet who makes up part of multi-facted collective FITH, the minds behind the most recent release for our R$N affiliated label Outer Reaches. In her solo productions, narratives drift atop cosmic lounge and post-punk influences; a synthesis of processed sounds and live electro acoustic forms.

Here she teams up with her great friend and collaborator, Berlin-based DJ Jamuel for this week’s Wednesday Alternative mix entitled ‘Rotting Pines, Shiny Apples‘. They go back to back blending experimental, electronica, jazz and soundtracks…
