“Gimme Coherence” surges with a need that feels both political and personal, a kind of cracked anthem for those trying to hold it together in a world designed to unravel. Jeff Tobias threads broken synth lines and guitar exorcisms through driving rhythms, his voice balancing warmth with urgency, clarity with a hint of fray. “No […]
I can’t believe tomorrow is August. This summer has flown by, and though I’m certainly ready for the blazing Tulsa heat to subside, I’m also feeling a bit bummed. This was the first summer in a decade that my daughter did not go to any summer camps and was home with me all summer. We’ve […]

She’s got an incredible new record on the way in a couple months called “Tulpa.” She’s just started a new label, Kou, with her partner Randall Dunn that has a unique and innovative approach to running a […]
Ellen Fullman’s Elemental View feels like standing inside a lucid dream made of tone. Performed on her monumental Long String Instrument in collaboration with The Living Earth Show, the work spans six movements that unfold with glacial clarity and architectural grace.

Zachary Good’s “Paco’s one hundred years” drifts with quiet power, each phrase a gentle gesture stretched across time. Four clarinets move in near-unison, their tones warbling just enough to catch the light differently with each pass. The repeating melody is both captivating and serene, a hypnotic reverie that feels like messages written in clouds, always […]
New episodes return! On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Ethan Miller! Ethan’s got a new trio record on the way with Bill Orcutt and Steve Shelley (talk about a dream team), so I had to get his side about how that all came into being. Then we wade into the weeds yapping […]
