Robert Boyle - Good Morning [EP]

'Good Morning' EP

Robert Boyle's 'Good Morning' EP is a minimal, synth heavy, dark ambient release from 2009. This album is unrefined, but Robert has some interesting ideas that reflect his general mood accurately. I haven't talked to him in a year or so, but we always intended on getting this out so I doubt he will mind.

We collaborated on this album in Robert's Seattle basement, and every time I spin it I can still smell mold and stale bong smoke. It is a sad and upset sound, and according to Robert he is taking inspiration from horror film scorers John Harrison, and Michael Perilstein. All four tracks are laced with a palpable depression and lack of motivation. 'Good Morning' puts the listener in a hole and never gives a rope to climb out or hang yourself with. His metaphor, not mine. I will add, however, the listener does get a glimpse of the sun from the top of the hole on occasion, but this juxtaposition kind of illuminates the hole just enough for you to realize how deep and dark it is.

Unfortunately, last I spoke to Robert he can't get a hold of the master tracks for the album - so these MP3s are as good as it gets. Luckily, the sound doesn't need to be too refined to be impacting.

Hope you enjoy it. Get it from Mediafire here.
