On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Concepcion Huerta!! She’s got a fantastic new album out, “Nothing Remains Everything Resonates,” on July 3 recorded at EMS in Stockholm. We talked about that, resonance and signal paths, and the magic of every day sounds. Then we get into her love of Cumbia, Psychic TV, […]
This is the first time in a while that I’ve managed to get two Capsule Gardens out in a month, and considering everything else that’s been happening in June, that’s a miracle. As ever, thanks for reading, and thanks for the support. New Morning Sounds recordings were shared recently. The Jewel Garden continues ahead with […]
Kate Carr records cities as people usually only experience them, as a specific body moving through a specific space. It’s personal and partial, and on Vertical London, that partiality is the point. Vertical London is her experience of the city from bottom to top on a particular day (New Year’s Day, in this case). It […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Ben Vida! I can’t overemphasize how much of a fan I am of Ben’s work generally, and especially his latest album, “Oblivion Seekers.” It follows-up the brilliant “The Beat My Head Hit,” and as ever, there is nobody working with language in the way Ben does, […]
Sometimes things that don’t make sense actually make perfect sense. Ever hear a movie? Or watch a soundtrack? There’s an implausibility and disconnect there that still, somehow, is engaging and transgressive. Lifted, the duo of Andrew Field-Pickering and Matt Papich, distill that into their newest record, Movie. Six tracks where Foley bleeds into melody, and […]
I was fortunate enough to meet some fantastic people when I relocated to Switzerland. Before the move I emailed Dave Phillips (as I knew he lived there part of the year) who recommended an art space/collective, bookshop and performance venue called Humus. Soon after I moved I went to see a live show and was […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s zakè! For expansive ambient music, he and his label Past Inside the Present have become my go-to. He just released his second collaborative album with marine eyes, “Still Beauty,” and celebrated the 20th anniversry of his first solo album. There’s so much to take about! Then […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Bob Holmes! I had a great time chatting with Bob about the new incredible new SUSS record, “Counting Sunsets,” a staple in my listening the last couple months. We talked all things Across the Horizon as well before getting into Glen Campbell, Brian Eno, The Monkees, […]
It’s June, and summer break (for my kid) is in full swing. We’ve been prepping her room for painting this week, and planning a recording session for a project I’ll talk more about in the future. We also went to the Ren Faire last weekend and, as ever, it’s one of my favorite things to […]
