Foxy Digitalis
Greta Ruth is an artist with a clear, uncompromising vision who isn’t afraid of venturing out into the dark, deep waters and seeing what she can find. Her recent EP, Milk Tooth/Hull, sees her experimenting with vocal-only compositions and finding new, fertile ground. I hope it’s only a start and she mines these ideas deeper, but […]
There’s this feeling like some kind of aural vertigo in Brooklyn/Detroit art rock quartet saajtak’s “There’s a Leak in the Shielding” as though two separate songs are happening simultaneously, magically aligned and ethereally potent. Divergent sounds collide at surprising angles, melting together to create verdant sonic architecture. The band’s approach has often centered around improvisation, […]

Listening to Daniel Wyche’s recent album, Earthwork, I connected with the music in surprising ways. It is an album built on a heavy emotional framework, but it also inspires so much imagination like his sound is creating vivid imagery. Wyche puts […]

Ross Gentry’s music has been on my radar for well over a decade now, first as Villages and now under his given name.

I’ve been wanting to make some kind of mix for the site for a while after having such a blast collaborating on the Halloween and Xmas mixes, so starting the year off with some Charlatan action on Foxy Digitalis feels right. After numerous stops and starts, I finally settled on a mix of one instrument/solo […]

It’s been almost a year since I announced Foxy Digitalis was coming back in 2021 and I wasn’t sure what to expect. The first big surprise came when there was an instant outpouring of excitement and support. I honestly wasn’t […]
Chicago guitarist and composer Daniel Wyche turns the grief of dealing with loss into an outward swinging pendulum. Earthwork, written and recorded over a veritable lifetime, speaks to the complicated tangles within us; to the idea that the impermanence of living and breathing is offset by the permanence of memory. Wyche uses these soundwebs as a […]
Jordan Reyes is in constant motion. Not only does he run one of the most exciting labels around, American Dreams (not to mention all its sub-labels), he also finds space for his own work and projects. Until recently, Threshing Spirit was anonymous, ripping through dismal atmospherics and black metal landscapes with force. Now, with Reyes […]
On the second episode of Foxy Digitalis Radio on Radio Coyote, my guest was one of my favorite musicians on the planet, Patrick Shiroishi. We talked a lot about his magnificent new album, Hidemi, out this month on American Dreams as well as his other recent work that’s been focused on the Japanese concentration camps during WW2. Of course, a conversation […]
