Lush new Debut album from Alex Ho out of Los Angeles.Peaceful modern ambient - jazz - spacial electronics...
In his foundational essay on Los Angeles, L.A. Glows, theessayist Lawrence Weschler speaks on the city's uncanny,immediately recognizable light; "The late-afternoon light ofLos Angeles—golden pink off the bay through the smogand onto the palm fronds." Weschler traces the city'smysterious refracted light from the iconic paintings of DavidHockney through the city's frequent portrayal on film andTV, noting its ability to put residents into a state of "egolessbliss."
Similarly, Alex Ho's new album for Music From Memory,'Move Through It', radiates with the unmistakable LA glow.While the Pasadena native's studio work is just now comingto light, Ho has long been a fixture in the Los Angelesdance music scene, throwing what are perhaps the city'smost musically expansive warehouse events and carvingout a singular voice as a DJ, as heard on his brilliant MoonyHabits show for NTS. The eight-track record, however,lands in a more contemplative zone, better suited for agolden hour drive than a night out.
