New Substack post live now— some thoughts on Natalie Bergman’s beauty of a record, “My Home Is Not In This World.” Give it a read.

Hello friends! This month’s newsletter and mix are out now. I write about hearing “BUNKER/PREROLL” live, guided meditation, and how ultimately we are all just LARPers going about life (a stolen sentiment). My mix is as warm as its cover looks— new ish from Trevor Spitta and Leon Thomas along with tunes from LOS KEMET and August Charles & jev. My spotlight track is “GEMINI” by BLK ODYSSY and Jackie Giroux which has been a fave all summer. Read the newsletter on Substack!

New article up now with the lovely folks of ☀️ I had a blast talking to Duncan and Mike about their Honda commercial experience, the daunting/ benevolent LA music scene, and what’s next for the duo. New music this fall!

Coming to you live at 2am on the DOT with my July newsletter. This month I write about the Tyler Childers show I went to, how I lost all of my belongings, and the dread of a show (or anything) coming to an end.

My mix looks far more dramatic than it is, but it’s songs that capture that feeling for me. They’re bittersweet— mostly sweet though. My spotlight track is “Northeast” which says everything my newsletter does but way cooler and more concise. Go check out the mix & follow me on Substack! Seriously please give me your email.
