Best most recent concert I've seen and this whole album rips. Love the saxophone / pedal steel / accordion combo in the live show. S/o Joe Kerwin for the original rec.
Been enjoying this guy's music a lot recently. His song Seasons recently blew up on TikTok and kinda gave him his big break. I had the honor of meeting him when I helped my friends produce a show for him and got to photograph him at said show (see pic below). He walked in and was so sweet to everyone helping out. It was so refreshing seeing someone so authentic in the music scene, given that his opener was lowk a douchebag... that's a story for later. ANYWAYS really recommend listening to his songs if you're into Imogen Heap, Blood Orange, or kinda electronic sound. Some of my favs are Seasons, Pretend Friend, and Say what you mean.
Blown away by his music. Got to see him live in LA a few weeks ago! The new album, Death Jokes, is great. It's like a fractured take on pop and electronic music. His voice is really unique and left of center. If you're looking for one of his more accessible records, start with Freedom, from 2018.
I met Erin (@RIOTGRRRL) and Jake (@SLOWDAZZLE) last year after I started using PI.FYI—we organized a meetup before a Jonathan Richman show and immediately clicked over our shared taste in music and similar sensibilities. We started hanging out a lot and had some great times together. I’ve also gotten to know many of their friends, who are all really cool. Erin and Jake started dating a couple of months after the three of us became friends, but our group chat still pops off. Their friendship has meant a lot to me, especially since moving to NYC in 2023, and I really appreciate having them in my life.
Come hang with some PI.FYI folks at Franklin Park in Crown Heights in Brooklyn on 7/19 @ 6:30. riotgrrrl and slowdazzle will be there too! Link is the Partiful invited!
