Sounds of love.

Back to mini playlists after an extended, extended break. A few melancholy tinted numbers with just the right light to suit these pale winter days. Happy New Year, everyone.

Somehow, a decade ago. 

I haven’t posted anything that’s felt inspiring here for a bit, but that’s not because there’s no inspiration out there. For the moment, here’s an old something that recently brought me some joy– what a dreamy opening sequence, brought to life by Henry Mancini’s smooth sonic build. 

Yes it’s June, but I still like these songs as much as I did last month. 

Hear “Earth Baby” on Spotify’s “Fresh Folk” playlist. 

Always remember– we're just earth babies.

Work on the new one has started. More details soon. 

Been a good long while since I’ve shared much, but here are a few songs I find myself sitting with most days. Happy new decade, all. 

All I can say is thank goodness for Naomi Klein. It was truly, truly a privilege to speak with her about her work, the world’s fate, and how the Green New Deal could reshape our future. I highly recommend sitting down and reading her newest collection of essays On Fire: The (Burning) Case for a Green New Deal.  

Made this improvised track last night while looking out the window at a jet stream slash and sink over a very big moon.

Recording this one later this year, but it speaks to what I’ve been feeling, and what I want to remind everyone of. 

A few slow ones that shaped that subtle shift into spring. 

A few snaps from this year’s Treefort Music Festival. We played a quick slew of shows, but it’s always a joy to be in Boise. 

There are a good million reasons I’m eager to get to New Orleans, and seeing Rebirth Brass Band at Maple Bar is in the top three. It was a treat to speak with them. 

You can read more about the short (and even see it!) via Vulture.

Instead of a playlist, I’m sharing Solange’s surprise new record, When I Get Home. This unhurried, moody, warm, textural embodiment reminds us of what it is to provide an experience through an album. Solange has given us a window into her world, you’d be a fool not to look at something so beautiful.
