I've been pretty floored by a lot of the music coming out of Beirut over the last few years - and I realize I'm a bit late to the party here - but the city's scene has produced a handful of my absolute favorite albums in recent memory. One thing many of those records have in common is Fadi Tabbal and Tunefork Studios. I've been in touch with Tabbal for the last few years, and have written about a fair bit of work he's involved in, but it felt long overdue to have a conversation about his work and all that's happening around him. His recent album with Charbel Haber, Enfin La Nuit, was a perfect opportunity.

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.

We’re still melting out here, how about you? Well hey, got some cool music from cool people to get us through… or at least distract us. Today’s pick is a great collaboration between IKSRE & anthéne. There’s also awesome new stuff from JOBS and The Spookfish on the way.

Next up in The Seltzer Salon is the wonderful Eve Maret. Her new album, New Noise, is such a fantastic surprise (wrote a little more about it in last week's Capsule Garden). I love when an artist goes into a new(ish) direction, especially when they take elements of their work and reconfigure them into something different. This album definitely feels like she's taking a risk in doing something outside her comfort zone and the results are great. It was wonderful to talk to her all about it. Hope you'll check out the record!

I am totally obsessed with today’s pick from Lord Spikeheart & Elvin Brandhi. “Drunk In Love” is straight from the future. All-time stuff. Plus a couple new gems from Aki Onda and Cuerpo Docente. Tomorrow on Patreon.

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.
