Critically acclaimed Portland, OR, restaurant Bullard is named after Doug Adams’ hometown in East Texas. The James Beard-nominated chef calls the restaurant’s cuisine “Tex-Oregana,” which is to say Pacific Northwest ingredients combined with Tex-Mex spirit. Bullard’s located in the Woodlark Hotel where Doug also bakes up kolaches at Good Coffee. In keeping things West Coast, we tucked into our archives and our recordings at Dangerbird Records’ studio in Los Angeles for a look-back listen to singer-songwriter Matt Costa. Matt performed tracks from his LP, Santa Rosa Fangs. Snacky Tunes is powered by Simplecast.

“Matt Costa Moves To A Different House Every Time He Makes A New Record” Singer/songwriter Matt Costa is one of the most affecting musicians around and his new album Santa Rosa Fangs is brimming with the hushed pop finesse of Elliott Smith and the lush precision of Roddy Frame’s Surf. In this conversation he reveals that whenever it’s time to make a new record he packs his things and moves to another house. Costa’s fifth album may have been written in a different house than his previous four records, but Santa Rosa Fangs explores the definition of home in a much larger sense. Set against the backdrop of a California that’s both mythical and literal, the album traverses the nuanced landscape of the West Coast in an effort to apprehend life’s tragedies and triumphs. From the aching pull of “Pacific Grove” to the wistful marching pop of “Time Tricks,” Santa Rosa Fangs effortlessly captures the rich textures of Northern and Southern California with novelistic dexterity. In this candid, focused and intimate conversation, Costa talks about his creative discipline, his family roots, his favorite California authors and working with Belle and Sebastian.
It seems Matt Costa has a guitar within arm’s reach at any given moment. As I fumble around setting up my recording rig, he pulls the acoustic out of the case and begins strumming, absent-mindedly. Prior to this year’s release of Santa Rosa Fangs, it had been a full five years since Costa released an LP under his own name. But it’s clear that music is never too far from his mind, as he fiddles around on the instrument or scribbles writing exercises for himself. When he’s not making music, the California musician is busy thinking about it, as evidenced by the recently released Santa Rosa Fangs (Novella Edition), an appendix to his latest record that explores the meanings behind the songs. Reaching for meaning or inspiration isn’t always easy, but Costa is more than happy to discuss his craft.
Singer-songwriter Matt Costa (you might know him as the guy who wrote "Mr. Pitiful") is back on the road this fall, touring his latest record, Santa Rosa Fangs. The new record is about three siblings in California as they deal with life, love and death. Costa built the story partially from his own experiences growing up in California. I hung out with Matt when he visited Vancouver over this past summer. It was a beautiful summer evening outside the Biltmore and we chatted while watching people go about their evening routines. At one point, the interview was interrupted by three frisky dogs and that moment this interview one of my favorite interviews this year. In which strange place did Matt find a band brother? Why did he include two versions of the same song on the new record? What's he been up to in the five years since his last record? How does Matt know his wife is getting stoned while he is on tour? You'll have to listen to find out! Tracks played on the podcast edition of the show... 1) Matt Costa, Santa Rosa Fangs (2018) "Sharon" 2) Matt Costa, Santa Rosa Fangs (2018) "I Remember It Well" 3) Matt Costa, Santa Rosa Fangs (2018) "I Remember It Well #2" (background) 4) Matt Costa, Santa Rosa Fangs (2018) "Real Love" 5) Matt Costa, Santa Rosa Fangs (2018) "Grudge" NO songs CANCON

Michelle Doll was a graphic designer when she decided at the age of 30 to change careers and enrolled at the French Culinary Institute (now the International Culinary Center). For several years, she was a renowned cake designer in New York through her company Michelle Doll Makes; however, her skills extend far beyond cake baking and her true passion is educating the home chef. She now plies her skills as a chef, food writer and culinary teacher, and is the author of Essential Tools, Tips & Techniques for the Home Cook. We’re back once again at Dangerbird Records’ studio in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. This go-round we meet up with singer-songwriter, Matt Costa. Matt discusses his 15-year career, and gives us a live in-studio performance from his new LP, Santa Rosa Fangs--his first full-length album in five years. The record tells the tale of a young woman named Sharon and her two brothers Richie and Tony, and their coming of age in California. It’s a sometimes autobiographical, sometimes fictional journey of Matt’s own life in his native Golden State. Snacky Tunes is powered by Simplecast.
