All this week we’ll be releasing exclusive goodness from our partners at Ghostly International, who have a bevy of hot records coming out this fall. Check back every day for more tunes, and if you like what you hear, make sure to go cop some records over at their store.

Our week of Ghostly exclusives concludes in epic fashion today, as we look at some tracks from Seattle recluse and ambient drone fiend The Sight Below. The guy whose MySpace headline is “lonely is the new dance party” (really dude?) makes tunes that basically amount to humid marshes of tone, occasionally bolstered by a deadened low-end pulse but more often than not allowed to swell and grow as they please. These are artificial sounds interacting organically, playing off each other’s delay times and frequency, making really thick, goose-down noise in the process. Ghostly will be releasing The Sight Below’s debut album Glider this fall, and in anticipation we’ve got a stream of album track “Life’s Fading Light” as well as a download of the three-track preview EP, No Place For Us. If you’re clamoring for some ease-the-mind stuff tomorrow morning, this is your jam.

Sounds like: Atlas Sound, Valet, White Rainbow
