In case you couldn’t keep up with the musicians, bands, and artists we’ve been throwing at you all week, here’s a quick recap …
Podcasts
This week, on The Music Meetup, host Elena Childers chatted with solo indie artist Lydia Luce! Her newest album Dark River bursts with emotion and plays your heartstrings—which you can listen to in full on the episode.
For BTR Live Studio (at Home), Jeanette D. Moses chatted with local NYC rockers T.V.O.D. The group has been hard at work writing and recording their debut album during the era of the global pandemic. They chatted about that process and also shared live versions of some of those tracks recorded at their home base studio space in Ridgewood, Queens.
Subliminal Inevitable also had a new episode this week, this time featuring UK-based indie label Babywoman Records. Host Bryan Bruchman chatted with the owner/musician/podcaster Charlotte Carpenter.
Plus, another new BTR Live Studio (At-Home)! Host Bryan Bruchman features LA-based artist Kaz Mirblouk. Blending shoegaze and psych-rock through bedroom indie rock via extensive solo production and collaborations, they chatted about the release of his new record and gave an exclusive at-home performance.
Finally, our Top Artist of the Week was Aerial East! Our hosts spun their new self-titled EP (out on Strolling Bones) the most this week.
