Big Thief's James Krivchenia shares two new tracks "Fountains Of Youth" and "Idiot Passion"

"Fountains Of Youth" and "Idiot Passion" follow on from earlier songs "Temptation Reduced", "The Eternal Spectator" and "Touched By An Angel", and will feature on Krivchenia's forthcoming solo LP A New Found Relaxation.

Krivchenia's new album was created in New Mexico last year, and each track is made up from hundreds of fragments of sounds, from an internet spa radio to ASMR YouTube clips, "field recordings and cast off Muzak, processed through Krivchenia’s magic box of extreme outboard manipulations", according to a press release.

He says of the album, "Partly it's my attempt at fast slow paced music. Partly, I was trying to take mundane or banal 'beauty' and process it - in the literal musical realm but also within myself. To me, the smooth chilled out background music of our world is often the most terrifying. I wanted to swim in relaxation signifiers but stir the pot, foul it, and have everything sort of bleed together and swirl with pace. Part of immersion for me also contains a sense of confusion and that's the kind of immersion I'm going for."
