Episode #108: One of the most exciting labels in the Pacific Northwest is also one of its youngest. EYRST Records was founded in 2014 by artist Neill Von Tally and Martell Webster. Since then, the label has filled its roster with promising artists, including acts like The Last Artful, Dodgr and Myke Bogan who have garnered national attention. We talk with Neill Von Tally and local artist Blossom about being part of an indie label and Portland's growing hip-hop scene.

In late August, Myke Bogan jumped on the Klyph Notes podcast before heading the The Know for a show with Foreign Talks and label mate Blossom. We covered a range of topics from his days as a division 1 football player (yeah, I had no idea), being a Portland based artist and the stable of artists on his label and of course his latest release Pool Party on EYRST. Check out this candid, somewhat personal conversation with Myke Bogan on this latest episode of Klyph Notes. Support from Klyph Notes comes from Akepele - Apparel for the Music Lifestyle

Drive-By Truckers Explore Duality And Dirt - 1:20With their double-barreled live sets and searing lyrical craft, the Drive-By Truckers are an easy add to top-ten list of best American rock bands playing today. Formed in Athens, Georgia circa 1996, the DBTs have had a lot of volatile personnel changes — Grammy-winner Jason Isbell was part of the lineup for a few years —but they’ve settled in nicely with partners in grime, Mike Cooley and Patterson Hood, at the helm. Their most recent record, “American Band”, continues Hood and Cooley’s exploration of duality in American identity. The band played the entire record through last October for a special NPR First Listen, hosted by opbmusic.Tiny Desk, Big Sound - Tank and the Bangas - 14:17Thousands of acts entered this year’s NPR Tiny Desk Concert, but the winner blew them all away: The New Orleans funk/soul/spoken-word outfit Tank and the Bangas. They visited opbmusic during their nationwide victory lap. Tarriona “Tank” Ball cut her teeth in slam poetry — no surprise when you hear her rich lyrical wordplay and sheer joy in storytelling.The Last Artful, Dodgr Dips, Dives, and Delivers - 22:50One of the brightest voices on the Portland hip hop scene is Alana Chenevert, A.K.A. The Last Artful, Dodgr. With producer Neil von Tally, she released a delightfully trip, imaginative debut album on Martell Webster’s Eyrst record label. Dodgr and von Tally joined us for a studio session with tracks from the record, “Bone Music,” flexing both her rhymes and the singing voice that landed her a backup spot with Aminé, and helped launch her as a force to be reckoned with.Charles Bradley Keeps Going Forward - 33:06Charles Bradley, a crowd favorite at Portland’s Soul’d Out festival and MusicFest NW, cultivated his booming voice for years as a James Brown impersonator. It wasn't until he was 62 years old that he found mainstream success, singing his own music. In this NPR feature, he tells how his relationship with his estranged mother informed his 2016 record, “Changes.”From Bedroom Pop To SXSW - Jay Som’s Journey- 37:42opbmusic stumbled upon this Bay Area rock band two months ago in Austin, Texas at the SXSW music festival and were immediately impressed by their live show. The band is a project of 23-year-old Melina Duterte, who released her first music to the internet on whim, never guessing how people would hang on her painstakingly crafted melodies and broad grasp of styles.Big Thief Steals The Show - 44:35Adrianne Lenker and band have a warm, intimate folk rock vibe that brings home story after story — some primal, many heartbreaking. At Pickathon they’ll play songs from their second album, "Capacity," but we caught the band touring for their first record, "Masterpiece." Lenker and company talked about how they came together, the ethos underlying their romantic melodies, and the things they find, turning over emotional rocks, as well as played three songs.

The crocuses are popping up, and this week's show blossoms with new music, new technology, dazzling comics, and so much more!Artists Will Transform Your World with Virtual Reality - 1:20Imagine a gallery where you can step into a painting, fly through the ceiling to the heaven’s above, or learn a dance from a virtual flamingo. It’s not a world far off. Virtual and augmented reality stand to transform the art world, and the tech incubator Oregon Story Board is on the front lines. We scoped out a new artists residency they jump-started to give artists a chance to play with the newest cutting-edge technology.The Last Artful Dodgr Cranks Up the Volume on Portland Hip-Hop - 8:34The Last Artful Dodgr (nee Alana Chenevert) initially planned to be an anthropologist, perhaps unearthing fossils instead of rhymes. Instead she found her voice in singing and rapping about the realities of life as millennial, and left Los Angeles for Portland. Newly signed to startup local label Eyrst (a project of former Trail Blazer Martell Webster), The Last Artful, Dodgr has just released her debut record, "Bone Music," and joined us in the studio with producer Neill Von Tally to perform a trio of spare, artful song. Leila Del Duca and the Ultimate Adventurer - 21:34Portland artist Leila Del Duca has been drawing an Image Comics series called “Shutter” since 2014. It’s the story of a hard-charging young adventurer named Kate Christopher whose travelers take her around the world and into space. Her companions include talking animals, mid-century knick-knacks sprung to life, and a most genteel undead butler. In March, Image will publish a new graphic novel by Del Duca called "AFAR" that's a YA fantasy set in an Afro-futurist society.Former Portlander Steps Up as the First Film Curator at the National Museum of African American History and Culture - 29:21The National Museum of African American History and Culture is like the "Hamilton" of museums: telling a story that goes back centuries, it's a ticket you have to get months in advance, if you can get them at all. Rhea Combs, the museum’s curator of film and photography and a former Portlander, was in town recently to participate in talks on housing issues and equity, and she stopped by Think Out Loud to talk about life at the museum and how Portland has changed. Sandow Birk Brings the Quran into Daily American Life - 38:37Eugene’s Jordan Schnitzer Art Museum is exhibiting a colossal series by LA-based painter Sandow Birk designed to reset mainstream American’s misconceptions about Islam’s holy book. Birk spent nine years transcribing every page of the Quran onto illustrations of daily American life. Called "American Quran,” the show is on view at through March 19. opbmusic Session with Balto - 45:41Portland band Balto took a long road to get where they are. Frontman and songwriter Daniel Sheron wrote most of his first record while living in Siberia, inspired by the people and remote landscapes he encountered there. Fleshed out with mandolin, banjo and piano, those songs were recorded back in New York, and released as October Road in 2011. After relocating to the Pacific Northwest, and now plugged in, Balto released a series of increasingly soulful rock EPs and singles, and since last summer Sheron and the group have teased their upcoming full-length release, Strangers.

Portland emcee Epp has been fixture in the scene for a number of years. He's collaborated with some of the the best artists in the NW & was a member of a crew that many considered the next to represent as the sound of Portland. Now a member of the Eyrst recording family, Epp is working on his next solo project that promises to be a classic.  As we sat and watched the classic game of the New Orleans Saints return to the Superdome to defeat the Atlanta Falcons, Epp shared thoughts on his start in Portland, his time with TxE overcoming writers block and now being in the creative space he's. Check out this latest episode of Klyph Notes.

In July I had an opportunity to host Neill Von Tally and Martlell Webster of Eyrst on the Welcome to the Neighborhood radio show in preparation for the Eyrst Label Launch event. As often happens, at the end of the show more great stories were being told, so I asked Neill if he’d be down to connect for more conversation. He was gracious enough to link the day after the label launch and spoke on how he linked with Martell, what in fact Eyrst really is and what’s up with that dope logo.  So check out the latest episode on Klyph Notes.
