On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, Patrick Shiroishi is back! Patrick returns to the show nearly two years later with an incredible new album, “Forgetting is Violence,” out this week on American Dreams. I can’t get enough of the record, so after talking about various facets of it, we get into Upsilon Acrux, […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Wendy Eisenberg! Their new album, “Viewfinder,” just might finally answer the important question of, “Can I love a Wendy Eisenberg album more than I love ‘Auto’?” Beyond that, we get into the almost-literal timelessness of “Greensleaves,” the all-time great Beach Boys’ tune, love for Willie Nelson, […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Nick Zanca! His new album, “Hindsight,” feels like Nick in record form in a lot of ways. It’s clearly a record he’s wanted to make all of his life. We dig into that and what it’s like to see that realized before diving into how many […]
“Nature abhors a vacuum.” We hear that all the time. It’s ingrained in us. 9T Antiope, the Iranian duo (based in Paris) of Sara Bigdeli Shamloo and Nima Aghiani, dissects this idea through sonic world-building and inquisition on Horror Vacui.

Welcome to the final Capsule Garden of 2023! It’s hard to believe I’ve written 42 of these this year, but even though it’s a tremendous amount of work, it’s one of my favorite parts of Foxy Digitalis these days. It will certainly return in 2024. Next week will see our year-end coverage get published. Peter […]
A full-house today in the Foxy Digitalis zone. A quick recap on the opening week(end) of my exhibition, “The Sound Leaves,” which was among the best times I’ve had in a while. I need to do more of that! Plus there’s some real bangers out this week, especially my Album of the Week from the […]
For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Patrick Shiroishi on the show. It would take a novel to list all the incredible things Patrick is doing these days, but notably he has new album out this week, “I was too young to hear silence” on American Dreams. He’s also a member of […]
Lea Bertucci has been on an absolute roll the last few years between her solo work, and collaborative work, along with curating excellent compilations with companion sample libraries. Her newest work is a collaboration with the great Lawrence English and it doesn’t disappoint. We chat about it, her recent trip to Australia and New Zealand, […]
