We’ve got two folk-baked songs. We’ll hear from Air Waves, off the album Dance, and a song from the score to Where the Crawdads Sing. It’s by Taylor Swift. Yep. Trust me.
On a Slow Flow Echoes, a journey of sequencer-driven sounds by Colin Rayment from his album, Equilibrium. We’ll also hear Sherry Finzer and VeeRonna Ragone from their album, Mystic Breezes.
New music by Dead Can Dance singer, Lisa Gerrard. She teams up with Italian-Argentinian composer Marcello De Francisi on a new album of ecstatic exoticism called Exaudia.
Ryan West records as Rival Consoles, a resolutely electronic project, but he still thinks of his chromium plated compositions as songs. He has a new album called Now Is.
We talk with Airport People: not weary airline travelers, but ambient chamber music artist Leon Todd Johnson. He has an album of creaky piano centered compositions called From Nine Mornings.
We hear from an opera singer turned alt-rock diva when Zola Jesus talks about her new album, Arkhon. It’s a mix of religion and science fiction as she grapples with these dystopian times.
The guitar duo of Rodrigo Y Gabriela take of lot of pleasure in covering rock tunes. They’ve done everything from Metallica to Pink Floyd. Now they’ve taken on Radiohead’s Weird Fishes.
On a Slow Flow Echoes, music by Mark Dwane. His instrumental music for guitar synthesizer usually is about extra-terrestrial imagery but his new album is called Earthlings.
We remember Mark Shreeve. The British electronic musician pulled his final patchcord on August 31. He recorded numerous solo albums and film scores, and was in the groups Redshift and ARC.
New music by Angel Olson. The alt-rock singer has taken a country turn on her new album, Big Time, but she does it with a flare of Ambient Americana. It’s a big time in a chilled way.
