On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Thor Harris! I don’t think Thor needs much introduction, but I have to mention the incredible new Thor & Friends Album, “Heathen Spirituals,” that’s out this week. It’s such a cathartic joy to listen to – so many moving parts, all of it interlocked and moving […]
Gray resonance forms a living wall on “c0n73x7_c0ll4p53” from Yann Novak’s forthcoming album, Continuity. Loops of field recordings and synthetic tones seep into one another, layering like opaque filters over gravitation pulses and a vanishing image. The piece unfolds slowly, but nothing stays still, meaning slips sideways, cloaked in the very textures that seem to […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s the return of Sarah Hennies! I always knew I’d have Sarah back, and with her new album with Tristan Kasten-Krause out now on Dinzu Artefacts, it was the perfect opportunity. (The album is incredible, by the way). We talk a lot about the point of singular […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Greg Davis! Greg and I go pretty far back – I think I first covered him on Foxy Digitalis when “Curling Pond Woods” came out in 2004, but this year he’s got a new LP from Asterisk, his awesome hip-hop/beats project. With a slew of incredible […]
April is flying by, new tunes are blowing up my inbox, and I’m embracing that keeping up doesn’t exist and leaning into drowning. Something like that. I can’t remember if I mentioned this here, but earlier this year I started a new column over on Patreon called Dollar Bin. It’s quick write-ups of excellent albums […]
For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Helado Negro on the show. After talking a little about his process and the story of Lupe Lopez, he takes us on quite the journey (including me reacting to one of his off-the-cuff picks live – ha!). We get into the all-time greatness of Teddy […]
Eliana Glass’s new album, E, is the music of secret lives and shadows. The New York-based singer-songwriter weaves unexpected, otherworldly melodies that slither through smoky sonic corridors with hypnotic grace. Her piano work flickers between moments of introspective stillness and sudden propulsion, never lingering in one place for long. Glass’s lyrics feel like esoteric daggers, […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Kaho Matsui! This is, full stop, the most fried episode so far, and I mean that as the biggest, baddest compliment possible. We talk about her latest record, the incredible “Life Lover,” plus being prolific, and a whole lot more. Then we go into the wilds […]
Hadley Roe’s music suspends the listener in a delicate stasis. Within its softly breathing electronic corridors, life slowly unfolds, reshapes, and drifts into new forms. On her new album The Inner Garden for Past Inside the Present, intimate details blossom into exultant melodies that stretch toward a disappearing horizon. It’s music made for quiet, inward […]
