Harold Budd
Luxa

A few elements you could call "jazz" peek out from time to time on Luxa, but otherwise this album shares many textural traits with Budd's much-loved 1988 release The White Arcades: a moody, melancholy sustained piano phrasing; sparse keyboard atmospherics; and Budd's ever-present inscrutable song titles.

It's nearly spring, but this album just has a way of making everything feel autumnal.
