On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Mark Nelson! Mark has been involved in so many incredible things across the last 30+ years – Labradford, Pan American, etc. – that this episode is a bit of a dream. His new album with Michael Grigoni, “New World, Lonely Ride” is one of the most […]
In the solo parent zone this week, riding high. In-progress projects are moving forward and coming together (more on that soon, or right now if you’re on the Patreon), new ideas are sparking left and right. It’s a strange time because I’m always completely exhausted and overwhelmed by the world. I had a great conversation about this with […]
Well, we made it. Sort of. I mean, it’s not like this arbitrary changing of the year is going to change, well, anything, but it still feels like we’ve crawled over some kind of finish line. As I say just about every year, what an incredible year of music. This list will be incomplete every […]
For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Niecy Blues on the show! Their new album, Exit Simulation, is one of 2023’s most astonishing debuts. After talking a little about that and growing up in Oklahoma, we dig into how Syreeta is one of the all-timers, getting suckered by fast food indie folk, […]

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 […]
Pulling the curtain back on this fantastic new collaboration from two all-timers reveals a methodic approach to creating restrained grandeur. Using a collection of recordings from a century-old pipe organ in Brisbane, Australia, Scott Morgan (aka loscil) and Lawrence English embark headfirst on a trip of emotive electronic pathways. Geometric patterns in the video move […]
The same restraint and precision running beneath Alberto Boccardi’s most recent album, Petra, sneaks into the architecture of this mix. While these pieces’ rich and evolving textures are front and center, this music covers a wide emotional swath. Boccardi keeps his finger on the pulse, though, guiding listeners through each pace with an unwavering focus. It […]
