Transmissions :: Amelia Courthouse


Listen Later

This week on Transmissions, the return of Leah Toth, aka Amelia Courthouse. She was last here on the podcast in its earlier, more feral incarnation—and by feral we mean "updated with elss regularity"—but back in 2018 she reviewed Shinya Fukumori Trio’s incredible ECM release For 2 Akis. We've wanted to have Leah back on ever since, and this now we've got a great excuse to do so: the release of her incredible new album under the Amelia Courthouse name, broken things. Blending Protestant solemnity with dream pop bliss with extended, meditative ambient music and skeletal folk, she’s created a work of gentle and imperfect holiness.


In her return Transmission, Toth dicusses making gorgeous music with imperfect equipment, rescuing old songs from the archives of her husband and collaborator James Toth aka Wooden Wand, the sound worlds of David Lynch, and the experience of communal worship singing.
