Discologist

In 2016, Skylar Gudasz released Oleander, a collection of songs that garnered deserved comparisons to the works of songwriting giants Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and more. Now she’s back with Cinema, a forward-looking, empowered exploration of the feelings that we often hide away to make it through the theatre of our day-to-day lives.

Tune in as we chat with Gudasz about great songwriting, releasing an album into an isolated world, and more on an all-new episode of Discologist.

Jazz has long been one of the most potent musical languages that we have, and on their second album, Irreversible Entanglements are wielding it like a righteous sword. 

Who Sent You explores injustice and resistance with cacophonous horns, warped bass-lines, and the barely-contained rage of poet Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother). The album's greatest triumph though, lies in the revelation that there can be exaltation in struggle and grace to be found in our common humanity if we're willing to receive it. 

Join us on an all-new episode of Discolgist as we dig into one of the most important albums of 2020 from one of the fiercest jazz outfits in history.

When people hear the term "southern rock," they are likely to think of the Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, or even more modern outfits like Drive-By Truckers. But when was the last time you thought about The Marshall Tucker Band? Grab a cold one and head down south with us as we dig into Carolina Dreams, an album that's not just the high point of this legendary group's career, but one of the best rock and roll albums ever made, period.

Morphine’s unexpected swan song, The Night, is a sophisticated, bittersweet gut-punch of a record that found the Boston trio continuing to evolve even as the loss of Mark Sandman (the band's heart and soul) signaled a definitive end of the road for the legendary outfit. 

Tune in as we go deep into this oft-overlooked career-capping masterpiece, Morphine’s legacy today, and much, much more.

Despite having released only three albums in their relatively short career, The Sundays remain one of the most influential bands of the 90s. With Harriet Wheeler’s undeniable voice at the fore, the quartet perfected the “indie-pop” that the 80s gave rise to and turned it into something timeless, idiosyncratic, and perfect. 

Thirty years after its release, Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, their first album, still sounds as magical and forward-thinking as ever. We’re taking a look at this possibly forgotten classic, the legacy of a band gone far too soon, and more on an all-new Discologist.

Since its inception in 2015 as the soundtrack to the end of the Grateful Dead's long strange trip, Neal Casal's Circles Around The Sun has evolved and grown into something much greater than the sum of its parts (keyboardist Adam MacDougall, bassist Dan Horne, and drummer Mark Levy) and original mission. In August of 2019, tragedy struck when Casal took his own life, but he didn't exit this world without leaving behind something for the rest of us: MUSIC. 

Circles Around The Sun, the band's third and final album with Casal, is a party the size of the universe and unlike anything the band has done before. It's also a bittersweet reminder that even when the light is barely flickering, there's still so much joy to be found if you just look in the right direction.
