Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 203

Pastoral, folk-tinged hauntology with warm analogue tones and gentle countryside feel.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 203 of the Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary.
This episode is a continuation of my library mood at the moment.
Warm, intimate, slightly surreal, and gently psychedelic. Think golden-hour light, quiet wonder, and analogue comfort — perfect for relaxed listening, daydreaming, or late afternoon/evening wind-down. Soft, charming, and emotionally tender with a strong sense of nostalgic beauty.

If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
No breaks, just the music.
