Om: “Gethsemane” from Advaitic Songs (Drag City, 7/24/12)
On Om’s second album with Grails drummer Emil Amos — now also joined by Lichens founder Robert A.A. Lowe — beautiful string passages weave in and out of the band’s drone-doom music, teaming up with sitar, tabla, and a dose of guest vocals to build magnificent songs. “Gethsemane” is the perfect starting point.
Pretty cool list of songs for 2012.
