Podcast appearances and mentions of melina duterte

On this week's Talkhouse episode we've got a pair of talented musicians in a chummy chat about making songs and making a life while making songs. It's Melina Duterte, aka. Jay Som, and Pascal Stevenson, aka. Fashion Club. Stevenson just released the second Fashion Club album, A Love You Cannot Shake, but it's different enough than the first that it almost feels like a debut. That surely has something to do with the fact that it's the first Fashion Club music since Stevenson's gender transition; there's a genre freedom that wasn't as evident on the first one, which felt a bit closer to Stevenson's indie-leaning band Moaning. A Love You Cannot Shake clearly honors big pop music but it frequently swerves before giving into any obvious trappings. She found some fantastic guests to add to the sideways fun, too, including Talkhouse Podcast alumni Perfume Genius and Julie Byrne as well as the other half of today's conversation, Jay Som. Now Jay Som made a splash with her first couple of bedroom-pop albums in 2015 and 2016, and though she hasn't released a new album since 2019's fantastic Anak Ko, she's been busy nonetheless, both starting some new projects, producing for other musicians, and playing bass for the indie-rock supergroup Boygenius. She's been working on new material of her own as well, and she had a song on the soundtrack to the critically acclaimed movie I Saw the TV Glow alongside like-minded artists like Caroline Polachek and The Weather Station. And of course there's her contribution to the Fashion Club record, “Ghost.” Check out that song right here. In this lively conversation, Stevenson and Duterte chat about songwriting, including Stevenson's tendency to start with the biggest parts and Duterte's opinion on what constitutes a “treat” while you're producing. They tell each other toward the end of the conversation which pop star they'd most like to write for, and we learn that Stevenson's specialty is what she calls “fucked-up ballads.” Enjoy. 0:00 – Intro 2:20 – Start of the chat 4:45 – On Fashion Club's album, A Love You Cannot Shake 9:20 – Melina loves Pascal's record 13:30 – Contrasting approaches to songwriting 16:36 – "Everyone's a little different when it comes to what I call 'treats'" 31:36 – "Do you think it's easier now to become a producer?"

Before Palehound released “The Clutch,” a rippin' rock song and the first single off of their new LP, Eye On The Bat, we'd most recently heard the vocals and elevated guitar work of El Kempner as one half of the duo Bachelor. Kempner teamed up with Melina Duterte of Jay Som to form the supergroup and deliver the stand-out 2021 record Doomin' Sun. But just as the recording of Doomin' Sun was finished in early 2020, and Kempner hit the road with Palehound to tour their own solo work, the world shut down. Eye On The Bat, a 10-song collection written around and largely about that holiday break-up, finds Kempner once again excelling at the plainspoken. Webpost

Al Menne is a musician. Al was the lead singer of the indie rock band Great Grandpa that is still showing up in people's Spotify Playlists. Al has been cooking and collaborating with their homies Christian Lee Hutson and Whitmer Thomas. Also including Melina Duterte of Jay Som for they're own music. I come back to Al's not allowed leak song “Kill Me” that is pinned on their IG page because it's so soothing it could kill you. I love beautiful heartbreaking music. I prefer sad songs over happy songs but I love love songs. Al brings all them together like a pasta and makes them al dente. Please welcome Al Menne to Wear Many Hats. instagram.com/not_al_men instagram.com/gr8_grandpa instagram.com/wearmanyhatswmh instagram.com/rashadrastam rashadrastam.com wearmanyhats.com dahsar.com

This week's Talkhouse conversation features a pair of indie musicians—one of whom is known a bit better for another career—who recently collaborated on a song, and who have lots to say about creativity and the current state of the music biz: Hrishikesh Hirway and Melina Duterte, aka. Jay Som. If you recognize Hirway's name, chances are good it's from one of his popular podcasts: The best known is probably Song Exploder, on which Hirway and a guest break down a single song, spending time to get at its component parts and to explore the creative process. (Perhaps it goes without saying that it shares some DNA with the Talkhouse Podcast.) Guests over the years have included Bjork, Spoon, St. Vincent—the list goes on and on. Song Exploder became a Netflix series in 2020, with Hirway acting host on the TV version as well. In addition to that, he's behind some other great podcasts, including the fun pandemic-era food chat show Home Cooking, which he co-hosts with Samin Nusrat. With all of that on his plate, it's easy to overlook that Hirway spent many years making gentle, melancholy indie music under the name The One AM Radio. That part of his life took a backseat to his other pursuits, but music called him back, and he spent some time over the pandemic recording some songs that he's slowly releasing under his own name. The first was a collaboration with famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and just this week came the second: a collaboration with today's other guest, Melina Duterte, who's better known by her project's name, Jay Som. The two met because Duterte was a guest on Song Exploder, where she spoke about her song “Tenderness.” Though he didn't actually host that episode, Hirway loved what he heard, and the two struck up a friendship that led to Duterte guesting on the touching song “Home.” If you like what you hear, the Jay Som catalog is thoroughly fantastic. Her last album under the name was 2019's Anak Ko, but she's spent time producing and collaborating with other folks over the past couple of years, including production duties for the latest album by Julia Shapiro of Chastity Belt—a recent guest on this very podcast. Jay Som's music is often called “bedroom pop,” but after people hear this conversation, they may have to start calling it “attic pop,” since Duterte recently relocated to a private top floor of her own. Elsewhere in this conversation, she and Hirway talk about the hot mess that is the music industry, the software they sometimes use, and the alt-rock band that Duterte obsessed over as a pre-teen. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Hrisikesh Hirway and Melina Duterte for chatting. Check out their collaborative song, “Home,” and be sure to follow them both—and Talkhouse!—on your favorite social media channels. See you next time!

For musicians Melina Duterte and Ellen Kemper, the collaborative project Bachelor is not just one of musical expression but also friendship. The week they took away from their solo projects - Jay Som and Palehound, respectively - to make the EP Doomin' Sun was full of not just music-making but also cooking, hot tubbing, TV watching, and just general bonding. Speaking with Cheryl Waters, the duo share memories of that incredible week, insight into their record-making process, and their thoughts on why they make such great collaborators and friends.  Recorded 08/10/2021.

For this week's Talkhouse Podcast episode, we rounded up a pair of friends who deeply admire each other's playing and songwriting—and who ultimately met because of a different episode of the Talkhouse Podcast: Kurt Vile and Julia Shapiro. Kurt Vile first came into music fans' consciousness as part of The War On Drugs, though it wasn't long before he decided to dedicate his time to his solo material. He's released a string of incredible albums since, including 2013's instant classic Wakin' On A Pretty Daze and 2018's Bottle It In. As you'll hear in this conversation, he's been hard at work, writing "too many" songs for a new album. In 2017, Vile collaborated with Australian singer Courtney Barnett on an album called Lotta Sea Lice, and it was Barnett who turned him onto Julia Shapiro and her band Chastity Belt. When Barnett and Shapiro chatted on this very podcast back in 2017, that sealed the deal for Vile, who became a huge Chastity Belt fan—and eventual friend of Shapiro's. Now Chastity Belt, which started life about a decade ago in Washington State, has released four powerful albums over the years, most recently a self-titled set in 2019. But the occasion for this conversation is actually Shapiro's second album as a solo artist. It's called Zorked, a word that means kind of what you might think: extremely stoned, or maybe just completely out of it. That's how Shapiro felt after moving to Los Angeles at the beginning of the pandemic, where her social circle was smaller and the world kind of closed in on her. The result is a weird, incredible set of songs Shapiro co-produced with her roommate Melina Duterte—aka Jay Som. That might sound a little serious, but Julia and Kurt have a fun chat here, talking about how they met, how Kurt mistook Chastity Belt for another band at first, how Julia once crowdsurfed at one of Kurt's shows, and Julia's love of TikTok. She even tries to convince Kurt to sign up. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Kurt Vile and Julia Shapiro for chatting.

The collaboration between Melina Duterte of Jay Som and Ellen Kempner of Palehound went live for World Cafe.

Bachelor is the new collaborative project from Palehound's Ellen Kempner and Jay Som's Melina Duterte. The debut album, Doomin' Sun is full of sorded visuals, stimulated by a buffet of great sound. These ladies have a sound from the early 90s, mixed with some new clashes of styles. These two are great friends, and fans of each others' work, they decided to come together, and record an amazing record in 2 weeks in an Air B&B. There are so many easter eggs in the sounds, and lyrics, you will enjoy listening to them over and over discovering them piece by piece. Ellen and Melina have something great to share, and you will see how fun they are as just people, musicians at their finest. facebook instagram twitter website ssoundcloud youtube

Nuestros pensamientos están también con el capitán del Ever Given , nos imaginamos el terrible marrón en el que se encuentra después atravesar su barco en mitad del Canal Suez, nos trae a la memoria aquel otro capitán del Costa Concordia. Comenzamos la selección musical de esta semana con una maravillosa versión de “Graceland" de Paul Simon, a cargo del talentoso y tristemente malogrado Justin Townes Earle, fallecido el año pasado con tan sólo38 años a consecuencia de sus problemas con las drogas que le perseguían desde la adolescencia, hijo de Steve Earle y bautizado así por el cantante tejano, amigo de su padre, Townes Van Zandt. El sello 4AD celebra sus 40 años con disco muy especial, un recopilatorio de versiones llamado “Bills & Aches & Blues”. Cocteau Twins, Pixies, Camera Obscura This Mortail Coils, The Breeders, Bon Iver… son sólo algunos de los muchos grupos que forman parte de la escudería de 4AD. De este disco de versiones elegimos para compartir la que Dry Cleaning hace del “Oblivion” de Grimes. La discográfica alemana, Deutsche Grammophon - DG fundada en 1898, tiene una de las colecciones de material grabado más antiguas del mundo. Coincidiendo con su 120 aniversario se restauraron y digitalizaron grabaciones legendarias de la era de las grabaciones de shellac (discos anteriores al vinilo, realizado con goma laca que giraban a 78 RPM ) Dentro de ese proyecto ,el músico y productor techno Christian Löffler procesó y mezcló obras de Beethoven registradas por la Staatskapelle Berlin y la Filarmónica de Berlín en la década de 1920 el resultado es “Parallels”, un disco fascinante, compartimos unos de sus cortes la “Pastoral”. Hace unas semanas Ellen Kempner de Palehound y Melina Duterte de Jay Som anunciaron la formación de un nuevo grupo llamado Bachelor. Es la segunda formación en la que se involucra la hiperactiva Melina, pocos meses, después de anunciar Routine, su grupo con Annie Truscott, bajista de Chastity Belt .

The title of Jay Som’s latest record, ‘Anak Ko,’ is a term of endearment in the Filipino language of Tagalog, and translates to “my child.” Songwriter and frontwoman Melina Duterte describes the title as “a warm blanket over the record,” which finds her rooted in the personal while maintaining a bright, dream pop punchiness. Duterte and her charismatic band join Cheryl Waters in the KEXP Live Room for four songs and an interview on her approach to the record, her many collaborators and the importance of “me time.” Recorded 09/19/2019. 4 songs - Anak Ko, Peace Out, Superbike, Get Well. Support the show.

Melina Duterte goes by the name Jay Som. She’s a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. She’s released three albums as Jay Som, and has produced, engineered, and mixed each one. Her third album, Anak Ko, came out in August 2019. And in this episode, Melina breaks down a song from it called “Tenderness.” songexploder.net/jay-som

Jay Som, aka Melina Duterte, speaks with Kyle Meredith about her latest album, Anak Ko. Duterte discusses how the Joshua Tree desert played a large role in its completion and why she invited some of her friends into the recording sessions -- a first for the singer-songwriter. From there, she divulges on her love for Steely Dan, Alanis Morissette, and Prefab Sprout, weighs in on the influence of having music-obsessed parents, and tips us off to her second life as a producer for artists like Chastity Belt and Pendent, which may take on a more starring role for her in the near future.

Melina Duterte, best known for her project Jay Som, and Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast felt like the perfect choice to talk to us this week: They both know how to write about love, and they're both playfully entertaining on social media. They each sent me a list of love songs, with neither aware of what the other had picked. This conversation took place in three cities: Melina was at NPR West in Culver City, California, while Michelle was at our NPR bureau in New York City. In fact, they'd begun the conversation before host Bob Boilen arrived at NPR's studio in Washington, D.C. It was a conversation that included everything from songs they know from middle school to song choices inspired by their parents' love.

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.

Recording under the moniker Jay Som, Oakland's own Melina Duterte produced "Everybody Works" in her own home, playing all of the instruments herself. The result sounds more like a full band.
