Foxy Digitalis
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, […]
Even in the subterranean cataclysms of Lea Bertucci and Lawrence English’s “Amorphic Foothills,” the sky above ignites with a thunderous fervor. Discordant strings wallow beneath layers of gray, flailing through the air as though they’re being chased by resonant hellfire. “There are moments, traveling through new terrains, that the strange familiar resonates with extra clarity,” […]
I’m telling you, the vibe was way off yesterday – I don’t know what the hell was going on. Anyway, a good ramble about Lucy Liyou’s new album plus some Post Moves news before getting into the thick of it with Peter Brötzmann, Heither Leigh, and Fred Lonberg-Holm’s Naked Nudes. Get well soon Peter Brötzmann! […]

Once “Trust Lanes” finds its groove and gets into a steady, progressive flow, there are no limits to the air Mute Duo – Skyler Rowe and Sam Wagster – can catch. A bass line crawls along the floor, and the foundation builds from there. Vibraphone and pedal steel resonance lilt in the spaces carved out […]
From the opening moments of “Till The Petals Fell,” Greta Ruth welcomes us into her sanctum. Rapid guitar plucks are a flickering cascade holding her enchanted vocals aloft, gliding across silk sheets and floral bounty as a timeless whisper in the ether. Glowing embers fill the quiet spaces of the song where Ruth gently needles […]
Radio fragments are the unexpected guideposts throughout Lia Kohl’s ambitious new album, The Ceiling Reposes. Static-laden voices pepper the glassine synth expressions and waving cello arrangements, tethering sonic ephemerality to a moment of familiarity. From a Vashon Island (where these radio samples are from) weather report that might as well be an inner mantra, “Weather, as […]
