On some albums, such as 2006's debut Précis and 2010's Lasted, his more structured compositions dominate; on others, like 2013's Hymnal and 2015's Sonnet, his mastery at sculpting atmospheres prevails. Meluch celebrated the project's tenth anniversary with 2016's The Benoît Pioulard Listening Matter, which balanced both sides of his music and served as a reminder of his singular skill at bringing these sounds together in complementary ways. Later in the decade, Meluch focused on the ambient side of his music with stunning results on 2019's shipwreck-themed Avocationals, but on 2023's Eidetic, he used his voice and lyrics to bring clarity and detail to its nostalgic reflections. **About somesurprises** *https://linktr.ee/somesurprises* Somesurprises is the musical project of Egyptian/English American songwriter Natasha El-Sergany. Born in Letterkenny, Ireland, and raised in northern England before moving to Florida at age ten, El-Sergany eventually found home in the evergreen mist of Seattle. What began as a bedroom project focused on spectral balladry and late-night exploration has evolved into a dynamic four-piece band. Motorik beats, reverb-drenched vocals, washes of fingerpicked guitars, and hazy synths expand El-Sergany’s delicate and blissful songwriting. **About The Goodbye Party** *https://thegoodbyeparty.bandcamp.com/* Heavenly blues from Philadelphia.
