Spencer Zahn
Makes Us a Mixtape
Inspired By Kingston Move

Like many of us, Spencer Zahn moved in the middle of the pandemic, leaving a bigger city (his longtime home Brooklyn) behind for one that’s more than 100 times smaller, population wise (Kingston, NY). He didn’t just set up shop and hide from his new neighbors either; the bassist/composer met as many people as he […]

Death Bells Shares
Van Music Playlist,
“Hysteria” Video

Photo KRISTOPHER KIRK “It was one of those moments where the tune just figured itself out,” Death Bells says of their “Hysteria” single, which drops through Dais today. “It feels urgent, immediate and honest, and we’re very proud of it.” The tightly wound track was actually one of the last songs Will Canning and Remy Veselis […]

Executioner’s Mask
Share the Stories Behind
Their Winterlong Album

With a bleak and strangely beautiful sound inspired by everything from JG Ballard to Mike Tyson, Winterlong is the most fully realized Executioner’s Mask record yet, a listen as chilly and sealed off from the outside world as a late summer air conditioner.

T. Gowdy Makes Us a
Floatation Device Mix

Words + Mix T. GOWDY Music affects my mood and I like it that way. When the world is just too much, I want escape into another world — to feel like I’m flying, lost in dark club, driving effortlessly on the highway, or floating in water. The latter of which I decided to express […]

Down a Rabbit Hole of
Random YouTube Videos

Words BOGDAN RACZYNSKI You asked for 10 videos, so I’m going to give you nine because I’m a professional asshole, and assholes make the rules. Talking about music is like discussing poetry — awkward, pretentious, and 100% subjective. So instead, let’s talk about one of my other burning passions: language. Watch this video about a polyglot […]

Ben Vida & Lea Bertucci
Interview Each Other

Having recently heard that Ben Vida and Lea Bertucci‘s first collection of improv-heavy compositions (Murmurations) has opened the door to further collaborations as a duo, we figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask how everything came together and what’s lurking just over the horizon for the two mind-bending multi-instrumentalists. Here’s what they had to say when […]

Aaron Turner
and Jon Mueller
Share New Video,
Favorite Records

“The energy of the performance was very intense,” drummer Jon Mueller says of the set that inspired his new LP with SUMAC frontman Aaron Turner. “[It was] like something could blow at any moment. I woke up wanting to create that, and somehow I think we did.” Due out September 16th through American Dreams, Now […]

BON and Akiko Haruna
On the Songs That Shaped
Their First Sight EP

If there’s one theme uniting First Sight — the first proper EP from Akiko Haruna and the London-based production duo BON — it’s the not-so-foreign or far-off idea of sentient, robotic beings falling in love. To bring the project’s sonic and subterranean ideas closer to the surface, we thought we’d ask Haruna, Yerosha Windrich and […]
