about

"The first half of Sentimentalism eases you into that sublime and ever-confounding space that you occupy when tilting back and forth between sleep and consciousness. At once tranquil and desperately uneasy, it reminds you of those dreamscapes, awfully strange, awfully familiar, that haunt you only for those few minutes after fully waking. Languid, surreal, suspenseful--almost perfectly mirroring the eerily enjoyable trance-like state of being half awake, half submerged in the messy shit of your unconscious. The second half of the tape really just makes you feel high. The bubbling synths, the tender guitars--it all gently pulls you into some loving unknown. Like a swim instructor leading you into the deep end. Idyl has hit on something deeply human, deeply surreal, and deeply enjoyable." - Shea Mitchell, poet

IDYL is Daniel Kalmanson. He likes to spend the hours plucking around, stuffing boards and routing signal. He currently lives in Seattle on Coast Salish ancestral land.
