This combination is just too good to pass up a post.  Botany, aka Spencer Stephenson, releases some cool progressive instrumental tracks on his own.  On October 29th (yes, the same day Arcade Fire, Poliça, Moonface and so many others are releasing albums), Botany will release a concept album called Lava Diviner (Truestory).  The album, which began as the story of a religious sect which prays for the eruption of a volcano, became the emotional journey of Stephenson’s own life.  And as curious as the album is in itself, Botany recently paired up with Josh Tillman, better known as Father John Misty, for an off-album song called, “Laughtrack.”  The song follows a trip-hop groove as Misty lulls out smokey lines, occasionally breaking down into string sections or a drum fill.  Who would’ve thought this duo could create such a smooth and ethereal track?  Check it out below and look for Botany’s album in October.
