Foxy Digitalis
Brad Rose is a multi-disciplinary artist and dad based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He previously ran the Digitalis label from 2003 to 2015. He is the principal writer and editor-in-chief of Foxy Digitalis.
Expanding on his last album, The Voice of Theseus, Yann Novak enlisted a cache of stellar artists – Madeliene Cocolas, Lawrence English, FAX, and Bana Haffar – to remix the record’s tracks. In addition, after working with various vocalists to perform these works live, a final performance with G. Brenner (who contributed vocals to the […]
A quick scheduling update – there will be another Capsule Garden next week to get things back on schedule. The column was delayed last week because I played/produced a show the day before (join the Patreon if you want to see Warren Realrider & I’s debut performance!) and simply didn’t have the time to get […]
For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Matthew Sage on the show. His band, Fuubutsushi has a new album out in June called “Meridians” and it is dosed with magic. After chatting about that for a bit and his decision to take cached.media off Bandcamp, we get into it. Imagining existing in […]
This is unlike any other project I’ve shared on Foxy Digitalis in recent years – it’s an album, but also an object. Nyfida is slow and purposeful, it churns up past laments and spits them out as electronic reflections. Crystalline shards dance and hover in all directions, riding feedback waves and casket memories into aqueous hollows. Polychronopoulos and Anastasakis carve out wide channels for guttural bass runs […]
For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Shane Parish on the show. When it comes to modern guitar gods, Shane is right up there for me. I am constantly amazed by not just what he can play, but HOW he plays – there is so much subtlety, emotional depth, and joy in […]
Sometimes I look at an old map and let my imagination drift to places that once flourished and are now shells. When did the turn from thriving to decay happen? And why? Answers are fleeting, but within fictitious memories, we can become something else. Gretchen Korsmo’s spellbinding Silhouettes, Spires is a momentary treatise on our […]
Fifty years in Keiji Haino’s music resonates across interdimensional divides with distorted clarity. His work is wide, but singularly focused, always honing in on the visceral promise of sonic expression. In 2004, Haino released the enigmatic catharsis, Black Blues. Six songs, each in two different versions: Violent and Soft. While there is a tonic connection between each, the differences are chasmic. […]
Morgan Garrett’s sonic stew is messy and precise at the same time. Shrapnel scattered in random patterns across the ground becomes a playground. Sounds are dissected and repurposed from the dust, twisted into jagged tone sculptures. His newest album, Purity, is restless and intense, as though it’s simultaneously running away from one thing and into the grime-infested arms of something […]
Antwerp-based composer Miaux’s new album, Never Coming Back, creates a sense of distance from a place that once held us back. Synth arrangements pull inward before spiraling into the distant skies. “In the closing track ‘I have no desire for the close company of other people,’ hope and redemption seem to guide towards another world,” Miaux explains. Asymmetric […]
