We sat down on two seperate days last fall with two phenomonal artists. We present to you a split episode with two passionate and highly talented artists of our local community. You know how it goes, we make with the chatter, they make with the chatter, we play some music, queue the sick Fat Kneel beats in the background....it's not that simple, (maybe it is) it takes a lot of work to do (it does, kinda) these episodes and we do it to spread the word on what our local artists offer so we all go out and see them perform, buy their music and such.

An experimental pop collective fronted by Andrew Grossman, The North Country has earned a reputation for pairing contemplative lyrics with vibrant music and colorful, raucous shows. Based in Washington DC, their 2022 release under Misra Records "Born at the Right Time (Exquisite Corpse)" marks a new stage of creativity. Written and recorded entirely remotely during the height of Covid lockdowns, the 6 bandmates applied the surrealist art technique cadaver exquis to collaborative songwriting.

/ekˈskwizət kôrps/

A method by which a piece of art is collectively assembled, each collaborator adding to a composition in sequence.

A communal album created from afar during the depths of quarantine. Each band member composed a song fragment and passed it on to the next person one at a time, building it bit by bit, until everyone made their contribution to the result before you now.

Live music performances by The North Country.

Lindsay Collette has matured within her musical projects, and we've seen that culmination pay off with the soft release of "DISS.MISS" last spring.

Her solo debut combines the tongue-in-cheek energy that we've come to expect, with technical prowess that we haven't heard from the songwriter before.

The fusion shows definitive writing chops -- a milestone for Lindsay who had previously written only for rhythm guitar and vocals. LC is set to release her second single, "Rude.," this coming spring. A feminist call to arms that expands upon the theme of propelling sonic justice into your ear holes.
