Richard Youngs' impressive body of work continues to mount. It resembles, unwittingly for sure, a slow zig zag

march towards some Hegelian musical ideal in the distant horizon. Youngs, the leading wizard of droney and

minimal psychedelic folk, has unleashed Airs of the Ear, his new opus invoking new magic looking for new ears

to ensnare.English born and bred, but residing in Glasgow, Scotland (where Airs of the Ear was recorded), Richard Youngs

has remained busy over the last two years. In addition to his recent Jagjaguwar offerings, Youngs has remained a

very active collaborator. He has released wonderful albums with Makoto Kawabata (of Acid Mothers Temple

fame), Simon Wickham-Smith, Neil Campbell, as well as with Sunroof! & Vibracathedral Orchestra.
