 Soulwhirlingsomewhere just released a new "name your price" ep, Sleeplike, on Bandcamp.
Soulwhirlingsomewhere first emerged on Projekt Records in the 1990s--producing records of hearfelt, ethereal music that calls to mind everything from Red House Painters to Brian Eno and a slew of other acts.
Don't let this foolish exercise in comparison feel you; Michael Plaster created, and creates, something all his own as well. His music is like a fingerprint, when you hear it you know it is his.

 photo by Allesandra Greco The first time I saw The Dig they were an opening act. After their set I thought; “You have to have some guts to have that band open for you.” They are a really good band.
