It’s interesting how things are connected.
When I was first checking out the zsh configuration tool Oh-My-Zsh, I saw that the creator, Robby Russell, was in a local (to Porltland, OR) band, The Mighty Missoula. They describe themselves as “an instrumental post-rock band”.
I found their music on Bandcamp and it totally resonated with me. I listen to it all the time, now.
This cover is from their EP “Au Nord."
My favorite songs are “Blue Ocean” and “Coppice.” A little bit of noise, space, yearning. The perfect soundtrack for driving through The Gorge or the tall forests around Mt. Hood.
One of my favorite bands was the Sidewinders, from Tuscon, AZ. They managed to capture the wide, arid space of the American southwest. I like The Mighty Missoula because they capture the quiet drones and breezes of the Pacific NW.
