Songs of Our Lives
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Deana Kiner! They have a new solo record out under their alas, i am myself moniker that I am a little obsessed with. “in the forest you’re still short, but you will grow” has a real hold on me, and I can’t recommend it enough. After […]
The Capsule Garden
How in the world is it already November? That seems fake to me. I don’t believe it. Alas, another BC Friday is upon us. The Jewel Garden has been busy. I released the first-ever Wet Bear full-length a couple of weeks ago – A Cabinet of Golden Errors. It’s strange and fun and a little […]

It’s been nearly 20 years since I was introduced to Buck Curran’s music (in the form of Arborea). His unique playing style and approach to improvisation have always made his work occupy a specific place in my mind. On his new album, Illuminations, those methods are paired with the work of my favorite poet, Arthur […]
Songs of Our Lives
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Tom Carter!! I’ve been listening to Tom’s music for at least three decades at this point, and I still get super excited when he’s got something new cooking. His recent project, Chrome Chasm (with Mlie Marie and Will Adams) is one of those! We talk about […]

Some things take longer than expected, but it often makes the payoff sweeter. Ziemba’s new album, The Braid, took over five years to write and record, but it lands with a sharp impact. Languid songscapes harness power in pulling listeners close, the songs striking like a biting whisper. These stories are deeply personal and ageless […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Kee Avil! I really love the novel approach she took to writing, recording, and releasing her new album, “Vapor,” and was excited to talk to her about it and learn about its pros and cons. We get through all of that before diving into This Heat, […]
It’s been a while since I’ve done an artist feature. I’ve been wanting to do this one for a while, but as this trio have only a handful of releases to their name it’s taken a bit longer to put together. It was a blessing that a new LP dropped on Dead Mind Records last […]
Sometimes a small moment will leave the darkest mark. With landtitles, those snippets get etched into my brain. Two recent releases, complete jazz box set on Home Normal and geographic beings, phosphorous mountains on Whitelabrecs, build intricate, fluid realms from these tiny sonic slivers. Old machines glean melodic detritus from the magic hour on the […]
I first knew Brandon Locher as a visual artist, constantly floored by his drawings and the depth and detail he created with colored pencils. I don’t remember how we first connected, but earlier this year I was excited to take part in his Ongoing Solos project. When he shared his album, Rahu Ketu, over the […]

I love the Allotment Tapes. Perhaps that’s a bit simple, but Ben McElroy’s ongoing project to document, collaborate with, and share the world of St. Ann’s allotments in Nottingham is a small slice of magic. This is quietly important work. The size and maze-like quality to St. Ann’s are like a kind of score, each […]
