POPULARITY
"Anything At All" Since the late '90s, the Pennsylvania-born musician Denison Witmer has been quietly producing one of the most stirring and affecting bodies of work in modern music. That body of work is also one of the most consistent. With close to fifteen albums under his belt, including Of Joy And Sorrow, Philadelphia Songs and The Ones Who Wait, Witmer's music brings to mind the work of everyone from Paul Simon to John Martyn to Elliott Smith. The Lancaster native has collaborated with everyone from The Innocence Mission to Rosie Thomas, he's toured the U.S. and Europe, did a side project called The River Bends with members of One Star Hotel, and he's been recording for Sufjan Stevens' Asthmatic Kitty label since 2011. Produced by Stevens, his new album Anything At All is his first since 2020's American Foursquare and it's a gentle stunner. From the rousing opener "Focus Ring" to the contemplative "Slow Motion Snow" Anything At All is filled with tremendous sensitivity and poetic elegance. It's a meditation on time, family, and art and rather than stress out about the sand falling through the hourglass, it chooses instead to examine each grain as it falls. It's brave, unflinching and glorious work. www.denisonwitmer.bandcamp.com (http://www.denisonwitmer.bandcamp.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers IG and BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Sufjan Stevens - "Video Game" from the 2020 album The Ascension on Asthmatic Kitty. KEXP is a listener-funded nonprofit, and we need your help to keep creating podcasts like this one. Donate now for our Fall Fundraising Drive! As we reported back in August, acclaimed singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens has returned with his eighth solo LP, The Ascension, his first since 2015's Carrie & Lowell. The song's video features Jalaiah Harmon, a 14-year-old dancer/choreographer who went viral on Tik-Tok with her "Renegade" dance. Stevens released the following statement addressing both the song and the clip, directed by Nicole Ginelli. "It’s unfortunate that we live in a society where the value of people is quantified by likes, followers, listeners and views. So many people are seeking attention for the wrong reasons. I think we should all be doing our best work without looking for accolades or seeking reward. The main takeaway of “Video Game” for me is: your worth (invaluable) should never be based on other people’s approval (ephemeral). Just be yourself. Keep it real. Keep it moving. Do all things with absolute purity, love and joy. And always do your best."

Clara Martínez nos habla en esta ocasión de Carrie & Lowell, séptimo disco de estudio de Sufjan Stevens, que dedicó a su entonces recientemente fallecida madre. Clara repasa la obra de Sufjan, la inspiración detrás del disco, y el proceso creativo, con guest appearances de Thomas Bartlett y como no podía ser de otra manera Lowell Brams, el otro gran inspirador del disco y co-responsable, junto al propio Sufjan, del sello Asthmatic Kitty.
Singer-songwriter and piano rocker Matt Cook () joins Bill and Brian to discuss Sufjan Stevens' The Age of Adz (2010, Asthmatic Kitty). Matt shares his story about discovering this album as he recovered from a coma (yes, seriously, it's a wild story!) and how he was won over despite not enjoying it at first. We get into Royal Robertson's influence on the album, whether or not to tag Sufjan with the 'genius' label, reevaluating our lives when faced with our own mortality, just what synth makes those sounds, and more as we make our way through the album track by track!
On today's episode I talk to musician Angelo de Augustine. Angelo writes and records music in Thousand Oaks, California -- a suburb north of Los Angeles, where he grew up. His self-released debut album, Spirals of Silence, and 3-song EP follow-up, How Past Begins, earned praise from The FADER, Stereogum, Vogue, My Old Kentucky Blog, and more, and his music has been compared to Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, Vashti Bunyan and Judee Sill. His latest album, Swim Inside the Moon, was released by Asthmatic Kitty in August. This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, follow me on Twitter.
The guys discuss the future of music, digital goods, ephemeral products, and how Spotify is changing our consumption behaviors and expectations. With John Beeler and Lowell Brams of Asthmatic Kitty Records.

Hideout Sessions - Episode 128 So, there's a slight discrepancy between this text and what I say on the show, because I recorded the episode a couple of weeks ago and am only just getting around to doing all the tech bits. The reason being is that my new baby daughter arrived the day after I recorded the show. She's called Etta and she's delicious!!! A very proud, but quite tired dad again. W'hoooooooo!

Silver Bells, Silver Screen, Asthmatic Kitty and Santaland Diaries.
This is another in the Asthmatic Kitty series. This song is amazing. For some reason I haven’t listened to it much. I downloaded it and then forgot about it. It looks like it’s iTunes time...By the way, disregard my awful impression of her voice - wowzers.http://www.mybrightestdiamond.com
Liz Janes has been a part of the Asthmatic Kitty record label from the start, and has been front and center in watching it grow. Liz is married to Michael Kaufmann, who from a home office, assists in the development and management of the label. So as both an artist on the label, and one with a clear view of its internal workings, Liz has a lot to say about how the label is run. This is not a Christian label, but one can easily point to Gospel principles within its practice. In this workshop Liz will address her ideas about "Christianity" and "The role of the record label" by sharing the story of her own growth as an artist and the role that Asthmatic Kitty has played in that story. The floor will also greatly be open for questions and discussion.
Here is yet, another contest - this time from Asthmatic Kitty. This is the first time I’ve ever heard this song and it’s really growing on me (especially after listening to it 50 times tonight).http://www.shapesandsizes.com
