Foxy Digitalis
I already wrote about Nick Turner’s lovely single, Under Dark Pines, so I don’t want to repeat myself and rehash what I’ve already said. However, the two videos by Toby Kaufmann-Buhler for the songs on the record add an interesting twist to the sonic context. Turner’s music is ephemeral and emotive, along with a spirit of curiosity, all […]
As ever, the Daily is over on Patreon since it’s Wednesday (and it’s a pretty fun one today! Join us!), but there’s no dearth of great stuff on the main site today. As Zelda Friday fast approaches, Leaving Records is celebrating properly, and hopefully, I won’t disappear off the face of the Earth. Lastly, there are a […]
Foxy Digitalis has been back for just over two years now, and I find it difficult to get my head around it. Throughout that period, though, the core idea and drive have remained the same, even if the pieces and structures have shifted somewhat. I’m excited the site launched a handful of new columns and […]
Missed last week due to being under the weather, but back in action with a stack of new music to end this super ugly week. Felidae Katla (Full Spectrum) It can be difficult to capture the potency of a specific moment in time where planets align just right and that tenuous sliver of magic reveals itself, but […]

We’re heading for the lilypads. We’re living a futurist frog jazz lifestyle. There’s nothing to be done about it but sway and smile. CC Sorensen is a wizard and on their most fully-realized work yet, Twin Mirror, a sanguine aquatic landscape billows into existence, swathed with the richest of details and imbued with a silken aural […]
Tethers is many things, but most importantly it’s a rumination on what is possible if we can just stop a take a long, deep breath. Something mystical permeates the aqueous field recordings, intimate synth meanderings, and vulnerable voice memos that are light in their approach but tread heavily in their outcomes. Maya Weeks is an accomplished […]
Nick Zanca’s Cacerolazo continues to get near-daily rotations here, new sounds and ideas revealing themselves each time. It’s such an immersive listening experience for me and is an album that might seem challenging at first, but is so listenable once it sets in. Nick put together this stellar mix-ish. In his own words: “It’s less of a […]
