The good folks at Atlanta Magazine recently asked me for a list of my favorite Atlanta-based albums of the 2010s. I narrowed my picks down to one album per year, which, in some cases, was quite difficult. Hard cuts had to be made. In the end, some great music got shouted out. Read the full list here in which Christopher Daniel, Christina Lee, and I shine a light on some of our favorite releases from the last decade. Read the full list at Atlanta Magazine.

Rad/ATL’s Hidden Hand podcast: An interview with Randall Frazier of Orbit Service

Welcome to another episode of Rad/ATL’s Hidden Hand podcast.

The music you’re listening to is “The Coldest Nights,” taken from Orbit Service’s sixth and most recent album titled The Door to the Sky.

Currently based in Bailey, Colorado — a small town in the mountains near Denver — Orbit Service is the name under which Randall Frazier has created music since the early aughts.

Over the years, Frazier has crafted a spacious and drifting sound that’s bound by a singular and textured quietude. His voice blends with atmospheric drones, improvisation, elegant post-rock songwriting, and musique concrete to a psychedelic effect.

I spoke with Frazier on October 16, 2019, shortly before Orbit Service shared the stage with the Legendary Pink Dots at the Masquerade in Atlanta — his fourth tour with the group. For this conversation we talked about creating space with music, life in Colorado, and our shared affinity for the Legendary Pink Dots.

To learn more about Randall Frazier and Orbit Service look online at orbitservice.bandcamp.com.

Thank you for listening.
