Foxy Digitalis Daily - Aug. 17, 2023: Beverly Glenn-Copeland "The Ones Ahead"
This incredible debut from merma suelo is a perfect example of why I love doing Foxy Digitalis, and why I think it’s important to continue. It doesn’t get much better. Plus, two new joints from tuba player extraordinaire, Beth McDonald, and one hell of a collaboration between Ava Mendoza and Devin Hoff (and James Brandon Lewis and Ches Smith).

Lea Bertucci has been on an absolute roll the last few years between her solo work, and collaborative work, along with curating excellent compilations with companion sample libraries. Her newest work is a collaboration with the great Lawrence English and it doesn't disappoint. We chat about it, her recent trip to Australia and New Zealand, and her next solo record, which is going to be a doozy. Lea Bertucci & Lawrence English Chthonic https://lawrenceenglishleabertucci.bandcamp.com/album/chthonic Lea Bertucci's Bandcamp https://leabertucci.bandcamp.com/ Lea Bertucci Xtended Vox Sample Library https://www.spitfireaudio.com/lea-bertucci-xtended-vox The Seltzer Salon is a concise, conversational podcast hosted by Brad Rose and produced by Foxy Digitalis. Each episode features a musician, artist, writer, or anyone, really, focusing on a single project or idea. I know we all have limited time each day, so I wanted to do something a little smaller scale with just as much impact, so episodes will be 25-45 minutes in length.

Sulci’s debut album, “Before the Echo,” is a stunner. You’ve gotta hear it. Plus, news from arko-íris, and listen to me get excited about Paavoharjo’s new album, thinking it’s their first in a long time, and then find out they’ve had new records out the last two years. Rolling by the seat of my pants over here. Wednesday episodes are exclusively on Patreon.

New week, new me (not really). Today’s pick is from Palestinian-American artist and musician, Omar Ahmad’s “Inheritance.” Also, I’ve released that I’m really not as drawn to harsh/noise/etc at all these days, and I’m not entirely sure why, but I think it’s interesting to think about. Whenever I need something to rattle my braincells, I generally turn to Hakuna Kulala or Nyege Nyege, but hit me with those HNW recs from the last year or so, the stuff that’ll change my mind (but also, get Elvin Brandhi & Lord Spikeheart’s “Drunk in Love” because it’s a fucken masterpiece).

I’ve been thinking a lot about my kid’s newfound obsession with Taylor Swift, and how wild it is to see fandom through their eyes (and see them obsess over something in the ways you have your entire life). It’s a pretty fun trip. Today’s pick - also a fun trip - an absolute gem from Lithuania from Andra Ljos. Wednesday episodes are exclusively on Patreon.

Still trying to get my bearings this week, but there’s so many things going on it’s been near-impossible. It’s the new normal, I guess! Anyway, today’s pick is the latest from Foxy Digitalis favorite, Imka. Plus some news (and flowers) from Alan Courtis with David Grubbs, and a new one from the great Métron Records.

It should come as no surprise that I’m a sucker for a Dad/Daughter duo jam, and it doesn’t get much better then Dietrichs - Don and Camille. Plus some flowers for Not Not Fun, who really are one of the best labels of the last 20 years. Wednesday episodes are exclusively on Patreon.

It’s Bandcamp Friday so you know what that means? A disaster of an inbox, but a wonderful opportunity to support artists while only giving a cut to one monster corporation instead of two. Wahey! But seriously, support artists. Everyday. Today’s pick is a beautiful new piano record from Stefan Christoff. Plus, I can’t get past how incredible the new Chief Adjuah record is, and there’s a new Diana Starshine on Orange Milk. Wednesday episodes are exclusively on Patreon.
