Hyperlilly evidently hale from Cologne, Germany. Not a fan of the video (static band shots + mild psych color filters), but the song reminds me of Auburn Lull crossed with a bit of M83.

Shoegazer Sunday: hyperlilly’s “springs (the oracle)”
Sunday, June 11th, 2023Library Addition: Jeremias Gotthelf’s The Black Spider
Monday, May 29th, 2023Way down on the list of my collecting vectors is books about giant spiders, so when I saw in a Heritage Auctions lot I decided to track down a copy.
Gotthelf, Jeremias (pseudonym for Albert Bitzius). The Black Spider. John Calder (Publishers) Ltd., 1958. First English language edition, a Near Fine+ copy with slight spine lean and former owners name inside front cover under flap, in a Very Good+ dust jacket with 1/4″ chip at head, two pinhead-sized abrasions at heel front join, wear at points, and moderate age darkening to white portion of spine. Nineteenth century allegorical horror story about evil made manifest as a giant black spider. Introduced and translated from the original German by H. M. Waidson. Barron, Horror Literature 2-35. Not in Bleiler’s Guide to Supernatural Fiction. Bought off a fellow Biblio dealer for $21.25.

I could do without the French spoken word bit at the beginning, but the part that kicks in after 1:50 is pretty tasty.
This breaks up what is likely to be a big Thrushes kick…
