We head to the badlands. Not the location, but the electronic pop singer Badlands, who is Swedish producer, Catharina Jaunviksna. Her new album is Call to Love. We heed the call on Echoes.
Music from Plaster Cast. They aren’t related to the Plaster Casters of the 1960s. This is a band creating a downtempo slo-core sound reminiscent of The XX. We’ll also hear Rebecca Pidgeon.
Animalweapon. The name comes from the Dead Pool superhero comic and no animals are harmed in the music of Patrick Cortes. But he does uses animal recordings as part of his electronic songs.
The October CD of the Month is Revolve by Ian Boddy and Erik Wøllo. They team up on an album of sequencer progressions and electric guitar dreams. Join John Diliberto when he spins Revolve.
Songs you’ve heard before, sung by Mary Fahl. The immaculate voice of the 90s band October Project has a new solo album covering songs from her youth called I Can’t Get It Out of My Head.
Daniel Lanois is the famed producer of U2, collaborator with Brian Eno, and a musician who is usually found behind a guitar or a pedal steel guitar. He has an album of ambient piano works.
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.
Music by Diane Arkenstone. She has an album of ambient music out called Cool Waters of Life. We’ll also hear the latest from Rival Consoles from a new album, Now Is.
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.
