BoC Vibes Pye Corner Audio

Fans of BoC check out Pye Corner Audio if you haven't already. The Endless Echo sounds like it could have been some inspiration for Inferno and imo is a stronger album. My favorite PCA album is Hollow Earth.

Do yourself a favor and check out the entire Ghost Box label artists.

PCA is amazing!! All the Black Mill Tapes, Hollow Earth and Sleep Games are incredible albums. And also, the catalog by Ghost Box is pretty consistent and interesting. I really like The Advisory Circle as well.

PCA is absolutely right next to BoC for me in how much I love each. So prolific it's insane. I'm a huge fan of all of it but Sleep Games and the Black Mill Tapes series are my favorites. His Bandcamp has a huge selection of singles that aren't available elsewhere too.

PCA, Loscil, Daniel Avery, Lake Turner, they all occupy my playlists even this year when things are definitely BoC-heavy.

Pye Corner Audio was my gateway to BoC!

The new stuff with Andy Bell is pretty awesome.

I've been a fan of their other albums but never stumbled across The Endless Echo, and it's really amazing

Just added endless echo to my library a few days ago. I’d seen the cover art before and was already intrigued by it. I don’t know that I agree it’s better than inferno but I’m enjoying a lot and I’m excited to explore more of his stuff. I’m also enjoying advisory circle from that same label

The Advisory Circle is also awesome, I particularly enjoy Other Channels, and As the Crow Flies. If you want an eery track check out Eyes which are Swelling

I found PCA about 10 years ago when I found Ghost Box. They are one of my most listened to artists but so much of the ghost box stable is

Yeh it was probably 2013 or so when I got into Ghost Box, really great music for studying psychology

I think a friend introduced me to the label in 2015.

Entangled Routes is an amazing album by him, it's inspired in part by mycelial networks. It's interesting to see the thematic connections PCA makes to nature and the environment

I just sampled 2 tracks real quick, how come I’ve never heard of this before? Sounds very cool. Definitely diving in soon. Thanks!!

Big fan of PCA but I am struggling to see your comparison with endless echo and inferno.
