Morita Vargas makes music from the deepest reaches of imagination, and her latest, III, is proof: all dark matter, pure dark magic, with an internal logic so complete it feels less like an entire world with its own atmosphere and gravity. Buoyant rhythms ride midnight waves while childlike choirs surface and dissolve, and through it […]
Songs of Our Lives
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Caroline Davis! I am smitten with her latest record, “Fallows.” It’s her first saxoxphone and electronics album, and it feels like this fully-realized version of her creative practice in this moment. There is so much to hear and feel, it’s remarkable. We talked a lot about […]

Turner Williams creates ageless worlds of drifting sonic memory, building them slowly, through restraint and textured resonance rather than accumulation. The shahi baaja suits this perfectly. Its tone sits in an interesting place, sometimes familiar and warm, often strange and beguiling, and Williams has developed an intimate feel for what the instrument can express. Vipérine, […]

Twenty years is a long time to carry something. Meadowsweet (redux) is Yann Novak’s return to an album made in the immediate wake of his mother’s death. Coming back to it now, near the anniversary of her passing, asks what it means to listen back to grief from a distance. The original Meadowsweet was built […]

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives – THE REMIX, it’s Lea Bertucci! I am so excited to have Lea back on the show to not only talk about a bunch of rad songs, but also her incredible new album, “The Days Pass Quickly Immersed in the Shadow of Eternity.” We talk about this […]
Kira McSpice’s Saturnism began with a hypnosis session, a trance guided by her friend and breathwork facilitator Trina Merz, and what McSpice found inside that trance became the foundation for a four-album series. It’s a genuinely strange origin story, and the music matches it. Rich and fully realized, Saturnism is full of dusty laments, charred […]
There’s a moment near the start of Tusk where the concertina’s distinct, reedy voice grabs hold and doesn’t let go. It’s airy and sequential, as though the world is decaying just enough to reveal the codes underneath. Kristina Warren works in that gap between the familiar and the unplaceable. Messages drawn in distorted ether, imagery […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Chaz Prymek! The main question here is how in the hell did it take me so long to have Chaz on the show? That’s all on me. Anyway, this is such a fun episode – we had a blast hanging out, talking about his new duo […]
Akira Kosemura’s Polaroid Piano may be 15 years old now, but its gentle, warming soundworld sounds as fresh and inviting as ever. Each of these 12 pieces captures a momentary glimpse, like a series of small, fleeting memories cast into sonic glass. Using field recordings from Lawrence English as jumping-off points, Kosemura’s pieces produce this […]
