On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, Gregg Kowalsky swings by to talk about his latest album, Eso Es, and how it ended up being something in a different sound world. It's such a great album, and it was great to catch up. Plus, the album of the week utterly blew my mind and just came out of nowhere (well not true, it's from Udmurtia). post-dukes are the realest deal. There's been some exciting new releases announced recently, too, plus one from yours truly - The North Sea's “Somewhere Between Something & Nothing.” Let's go!Album of the Week: post-dukes “Udmurt Rave”This Week's Links:Dis Fig & The Body “Orchards of a Futile Heaven”Eric Mingus “Dog Water”Karen Vogt “Waterlog”The North Sea “Somewhere Between Something & Nothing”Foxy Digitalis is an online music resource and organization promoting music in the margins with the idea that sound is for everyone.

On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, I don't really talk about the new Andre 3000 album, but I know a lot of people are excited about (myself included!), so maybe next time. The morning before I recorded this, I woke up early, got lost in the fog, and ended up writing a new Charlatan song around daybreak - and it was so, so nice. Go over to the Patreon to give it a listen!But, TWO - count' em TWO - albums of the week since the podcast will be off next week (holiday vibes), and it's my show so I can do whatever I want. Both are gems, and I listened to them back-to-back yesterday (Melford then Kowalsky) and it REALLY worked. Highly recommend that.Then, jump to about 15 minutes if you want to get straight to my conversation with Markus Floats about his latest album, “Fourth Album.”Albums of the Week:Myra Melford's Fire & Water Quintet “Hear the Light Singing”Gregg Kowalsky “Eso Es”This Week's Links:Markus Floats “Fourth Album”Markus Floats InstagramFoxy Digitalis is an online music resource and organization promoting music in the margins with the idea that sound is for everyone.

Daylight and the warmth within the glow of a morning are elements which maintain immense value to Gregg Kowalsky. This year marked the release of his first album in some eight long years, an elegant ambient excursion which was widely championed by an array of critics and listeners. Blending the use of analog synths alongside modern day mastering techniques and the use of technology he managed to create a dreamy, ethereal assortment of music which remained as singular and individual as ever. His music is a result of self exploration and lived experiences in climates far warmer than in which we are writing. Both Miami and Los Angeles have been home for Gregg across the last ten years, perhaps this is why he is able to channel musical expression towards the sun, something those in the UK are often lacking. Anyway, all social commentary aside he has truly set the bar for the future and "L'Orange, L'Orange" is a beautiful piece of work. We invited Gregg to record a mix as part of our Monday ambient series as he selects music from the likes of Hiroshi Yoshimura, Harold Budd and many more.
