Foxes in Fiction - Swung from the Branches (2010)

This is a rather lengthy album of ambient music. It relies heavily on synth notes that can be heard to rise and fall in volume, with occasional percussion and vocal effects. The synths give the album a nice glow with an effect that’s somewhat hypnotic in a relaxing sort of way. I especially like the use of the ice cream truck song in “Cream Screen,” which buries that song underneath recorded highway sounds and a thick layer of airy noise. If you like ambient music, this is as good as anything. This album is offered for free at a link I found on his myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/foxesinfiction).
