#starlight mints

8/21/24.

Mother Sun (Kamloops, British Columbia) play the kind of indie pop that might be called sophisticated. The songwriting's structures and timing isn't necessarily predicatable and Jared Doherty's lyrics are thematic and thoughtful. In fact, he said, of "Meadow 6",

"On this record with a lot of the lyrics, I became really interested in plants and humans’ relationship with them and the earth; gathering & farming, commodifying & exploiting, researching & controlling, using to alter consciousness. A lot of the early musical ideas started sitting outside playing guitar in the garden. I think with these songs we wanted to create a record that sonically speaks to the magic that is constantly unfolding all around in the natural world."

This kind of makes me think of Elephant 6 bands, The Teeth, Starlight Mints, French Cassettes or The Botticellis.

Joywave obviously

HALLOWEEN SOUNDS 2018 // vol.one

It’s October and therefore you should be getting proper spooky. What better way than to dive into some Halloween (and spooky-adjacent) sounds. This year, I’m going to be doing a handful of small mixes based around particular styles, rather than one big mega-mix. Volume one is leans into the loud and energetic. Volume two will be more electronic. Volume three heads into the darker atmospheric sounds. After that? I’m not sure. I’m up for suggestions. 

You can stream Volume One on Apple Music and Spotify. Tracklist is on the image.
