Five years ago singer/songwriter Natasha Jacobs' band Thelma didn't even exist. But half a decade isn't a terribly long time. Only 60 months. 1,825 measly days! Especially when a long- held dream is conceived. Natasha utilized that period to finally focus on her music. When a fall from a ladder left her bedridden, she took advantage of the homebound solitude to study the guitar and write songs. Spurred by one-part inspiration and one-part tragedy, the glorious result is Thelma's debut LP. Their self-titled album just came out in February and has already claimed praise from Bandcamp Daily for Natasha and Co. [This episode features "If You Let It" and "Thelma" from Thelma in their entirety.] Purchase Thelma digitally or on vinyl: https://thelma.bandcamp.com/releases Visit Thelma on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Thelmalala

A way of life he's been mining personally since his Cincinnati childhood where he once obsessed over magazines to his career working at some of the best periodicals in circulation.

The road of most musical careers doesn't include both medicine and math in the (ahem) equation, especially when it produces a wonderfully skewed country album. While studying math at Brown University, singer/songwriter Dougie Poole forwent a doctor's life to follow his passion for music. Replacing what's expected for exploration in less reliable waters is the norm for him. The title of his full-length debut, Wideass Highway is perhaps the first clue; the music within is the second. It's country music that bears a closer resemblance to '70s countrypolitan than today's bro-country. Dougie's lyrics don't even hint at pick-ups or parties but instead allow for laptops and the Port Authority as some of the subject matter. Wideass Highway is the greatest of joys--unexpected--because no saw it coming that one of the best contemporary country albums would be delivered by a Brooklynite reared in Providence, RI. [This episode features "Tripping with the One You Love" and "Less Young but as Dumb" from Wideass Highway in their entirety.)

Suzi Analogue isn't just her name; it's a way of life. Inspired by RZA's audio alter ego, Bobby Digital, Suzi took on her moniker as an emblem to be as free and honest as possible in her art. Suzi has boldly forged a singular path through the male-dominated beat scene in her numerous capacities as a beatmaker, songwriter, vocalist (and much more!). From her Virginian suburban roots to the borough of Brooklyn, Suzi is a consummate tastemaker. With her music label (Never Normal Records), eclectic style and positive energy, Suzi gives us all the permission to be our uncompromising, vivid selves. Never not creating, Suzi's prepping the third volume of her ZONEZ music series for a 2017 release. [This episode features "Gurl Sweatshirt" from ZONEZ V.2 in its entirety.]

Maddison Murphy has figured out the (seemingly) uncomplicated math of releasing a successful music compilation. Creation can often appear effortless when someone excels at what they do. Puppy Teeth Records, her Brooklyn-based cassette and digital label, recently released its Good Friends, Vol. 2 compilation. Maddison is the Great Curator. A genre-jumping collection of songs she carefully handpicked, culminating in your new favorite mixtape. An ordering of 25 tracks that produce a distinctive experience of moods and tones with enough variety to warrant a one-sitting listening experience. As if that musical journey wasn't enough, Maddison donates 100% of the compilation's proceeds to the ACLU and Planned Parenthood. [This episode features five of my favorite artists from Good Friends, Vol. 2 including Homeschool Friends (Maddison's solo project) and Beau Borek's three minutes of perfection "New Year's Day".]

1. Erica Eso/"One Hundred Years"

2. Cloud Ellyn/"Golden Diver"

3. Homeschool Friends/"No Snacks in the House"

4. Amor en la isla/"Honey"

5. Beau Borek/"New Year's Day"

Good Friends, Vol. 2 is available digitally and on a limited-edition cassette of 100 copies: https://puppyteethrecords.bandcamp.com

Some people have a natural penchant or inclination in regards to their talent. The timeline of their experience doesn't appear to correspond with the execution. File Amy León into this category. Although she is undefinable and hard to pin down. She's been singing for only three years and has recently released her wise and beautiful debut, Something Melancholy. If she must be classified, "instinctive" is perhaps the only proper division. There is an intentional immediacy in Amy's voice and writing. Not only a singer and a poet, she's also an educator and an activist. The visibility and proper representation of brown people. The equal rights of women. These are some of the issues that captivate this formerly shy child of Harlem. Currently based in Brooklyn, Amy's mission statement is the continual utilization of her art as a tool to inspire people and to implement social justice. [This episode includes "Burning in Birmingham" and "Strange Grace" from Something Melancholy in their entirety.]

Isn't it the greatest gift when an artist shares their interior world through their chosen medium? An objective Nandi Rose Plunkett had decidedly been working towards through the experimental pop music of Half Waif. Half Waif is the solo project of the Brooklyn-based singer/ songwriter in which she eventually realized her intention with lyrics that have became more lucid and unguarded over the span of her recording career. The paring down of barriers to their core innocence. Since the 2011 inception of Half Waif, Nandi's released two EP's, two full-length albums and form/a, her stunning new EP consisting of six meditations that reflect on her childhood, relationships and the wages of bare honesty. This episode includes "Frost Burn" and "Night Heat" from form/a in their entirety.

Carina Zachary's path to being the lead vocalist of post-hardcore band Husbandry was not without its diversions. It was preceded by failed stints with bands of various genres and even a year where Carina had given up singing. The Brooklyn-based Husbandry became a four-piece after she answered a Craigslist post resulting in a 2014 EP and last year's Fera. The full-length debut is an embarrassment of riches: each song an exciting fruition of Carina's clear, powerful vocals intertwined with neck-breaking soundscapes from her fellow band mates (Jordan Usatch, Guitars; Arnau Bosc, Bass & Vocals; Andrew Gottlieb, Drums). As an Afro-Caribbean woman in the metal scene, Carina's rare presence (and voice) is an essential addition to the genre. This episodes includes "Grab Twist Pull" and "...With Codeine" from Fera.

The history of America is as beautiful and endearing as much its narrative can be ugly and traumatic. Journalist Brian Seibert's What the Eye Hears: A History of Tap Dancing is an exploration of those contradictions as seen through the lens of tap. The talent. The culture. The ups and downs. The indignities. A New York Times dance critic and features writer, Brian's epic tome is both timeless and (sadly) contemporary in its sensitive, incisive portrayal of race in America. Fourteen years in the making, What the Eye Hears easily takes it place as the definitive account of a classic art form.
