🎵 The Vernon Spring - Under a Familiar Sun (2025)
I had missed this album last year but was reminded of it through a collection of remixes that came out last week. Producer Same Beste has a way of pulling at the heartstrings with these glitchy piano de-compositions from which beautiful sounds bloom
🎵 Two Steppes - Bowl of Flowers (2025)
This cassette arrived in the mail today from fellow Brooklyn DIY lifers Two Steppes. After taking a long break from music I’m so glad that Drew Gibson is back- pivoting away from harsh noise to something hazily melodic but with hidden depths and textures.
🎵 Judee Sill - s/t (1971)
This blog is making me realize I have a type- quasi-religious mystics who make folk music that draws from a wide array of influences. In this case Sill’s songs switch seamlessly between winsome country to baroque counterpoint in her lyrical cosmology of angels and cowboys.
Critical Listening interviews Maine Music Alliance
I was really inspired by Liz and Max’s podcast interview with two members of the Maine Music Alliance who sucessfully stopped a Live Nation venue from coming in and disrupting the local scene in Portland, Maine. I found the conversation to be especially helpful in demystifying the process of dealing with local government and how to change conceptual arguments into ones that are legible for policymakers.
