What better send-off on my way to a two-week hiatus than a half-hour of spoken word poetry? Leave 'em wanting less, as they say. Hope you enjoy the selections regardless, there's plenty of laid-back electronics, psychedelic sounds, and slow-building synths to ease your way into the working week. Enjoy the showfills for the next two weeks, and see you again on the May long weekend.Playlist: Tacoma Park - DawnFull Moon Bummer - D-85 Cosmic/Spring HatchlingsMint Julep - This Time Tomorrowfeldmark - The Cosmic DolphinPulp - Open StringsWalrus Ghost - Falling OutHector Plimmer - Eastern SystemBUNKR - This Side of ForeverCRi - OdaDanalogue - Moebius TriptychRich Aucoin - McLeyvierIggy Pop, Tarwater, Alva Noto - Out of the Rolling Ocean the CrowdBryan Ferry, Amelia Barratt - Stand Near MeLeanne Betasamosake Simpson - How to Steal a CanoeTalking Heads - Seen and Not SeenAnthony Joseph - The African Origins of UFOsThe Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds - Taurus – The VoluptuaryCharles Spearin - VanessaThe Setting - By the Light of the MoonSetting - Gum BumpLiminal Drifter - Roll the DiceTara Clerkin Trio - SilentlyFloral Image - The Score - Black Market Karma RemixHoly Fuck - Casio Bossa Novawasmarkhere - KickKaster - RiverFurii - PolyphonOID - FwellDixie's Death Pool - Cancel My Subscription to the MoonThe New Pornographers - Spooky ActionStrange Fruit - Monopolar

A throwback to the surprisingly consistent and resilient Brian Jonestown Massacre, gorgeous new compositions from Flore Laurentienne and Céderic Dind-Lavoie, an ode to the collapse of the universe, and a couple dozen other gems await in this week's AM.

Does the late-March snow have you down? You're not alone. But at least we have music—mellower tracks for a little well-earned wallowing, and sunnier sounds to melt away some of the (hopefully not perma)frost. Featuring a couple of all-time favourite tracks, from Torngat and from the Chemical Brothers, plus a whole host of new music spanning ambient, jangle-pop, doom-folk, and beyond. Hope you enjoy 'em.Playlist: Haiku Salut, Meg Morley - Needle DropJamison Isaak - Fern's ForestOowets - SekaiDavid Sylvain - Words With the Shaman - Part 3 (Awakening (Songs from the Treetops))Kronstad 23 - Menighetenworriedaboutsatan - Piece By Miserable PieceGlissandro 70 - Pad TidePan-American - Entrance to AfterlifeBill Orcutt, Mabe Fratti - El inicio es cuestion de suerteAshi Shonen - Nous ÉcoutonsHALFBY - Between Them - tiger bae RemixIvor Cutler - There's a Hole in My HeadEiyn Sof - I Eat the SkyAmbre Ciel - SometimesOra Cogan - OutgrowingPJ Harvey - White ChalkTorngat - Minute by MinuteTorngat - Bordeaux BoredomJackson\Wilson Duo - Water SourceKlint - Intermezzo - Exelsior -Shakey Graves - I Once Was an OceanAstral Swans - What Are You Gonna Do With Yourself?Pye Corner Audio, featuring Andy Bell - CycleThe Chemical Brothers, featuring The Flaming Lips - The Golden PathSunglaciers - Ballad for EddyYea-Ming and the Rumours - Paper DollBeing Dead - GoodnightTara Clerkin Trio - Somewhere GoodIndex For Working Musik - Going to Heaven on the End of a String - Papal VersionBibi Club - George SandThe Leaf Library - Sun In My RoomCarl Didur - The Great Uniter (Maybe Next Time)The Besnard Lakes - Chemin de la Baie - Ghost Mix

As March marches on, The AM is still here to help you find your bearings in a world that won't stop spinning. This week we're throwing back to Cornelius' 2001 album Point, listening to new releases ranging from Bill Callahan's introspective folk to Hanakiv's atmospheric piano, Shabaka's spiritual jazz, and Damaged Bug's damaged psych, and generally aiming to make your Monday morning more bearable.
