Rafael Anton Irisarri: Possibly my favorite albums of all time. “Not Yet Remembered” perhaps my favorite piece on the album. I’ve heard this record more times than I can count, since I was like 16 or so. Every time I listen to it, I find something knew, I discover a new secret. Harold Budd is so dear to me. An amazing gentleman and kind soul. When I first started out releasing music, I sent him a copy of my first album, »Daydreaming« and he actually wrote me back, a very short note that read: »Absolutely wonderful Rafael.« Much like his piano playing: economy of notes & words, but incredibly impactful.
Rafael Anton Irisarri: “Souvlaki” was the soundtrack to my loner late-teenage years. I had barely any friends and music became a way for me to cope with the fact I didn’t seem to belong anywhere. I’ve become good friends with Simon Scott from Slowdive and have collaborated & toured with him on a multitude of occasions. It all feels very full circle, but also dreamlike in a way. When I was 17, never in a million years I’d have imagined this being a possibility. Anything can happen in life I suppose!
