Popsnacking I really love this track because it reminds me of the time that I got lost in the woods. After four months I acclimated to woodsy life and even took myself a Bear as my bride, the lovely Varlene. Unfortunately we had different interests and drifted apart. When I left I could see Carlene across the highway with a tear running from her furry eye. I now own and operate a Specialty Cobbler and Pie bistro, called You Want A Pies Of Me? Favorite track: Beyond The Uncanny Valley.

I certainly don’t consider Mt. Juliet to be the first place to go for experimental ambient music but TheBack ParkingLot’s latest release, Occupying Physical Space, proves that Nashville’s (and surrounding area) still have plenty of surprises.

The two tracks of this release span a 30-minute runtime, often resulting in a challenging listen. That’s not to say it’s bad in any way but droning music requires a certain amount of zen headspace; letting yourself be patient and immerse yourself in the wall of sound, rather than waiting for the next chorus to kick in.

The title track of the record, a 20-minute piece itself, manages the great feat of breaking out of itself around the 5 minute mark; becoming a brighter and shinier thing for just a moment before it degrades and dissipates back into an ethereal space.
