A (relatively) in-depth analysis of American singer-songwriter Natalie Prass in (just over) fifteen minutes.Prass grew up in Virginia, where she met fellow musician Matthew E. White. They played in a band together in the early 2000s, then White moved to Richmond to study jazz. Prass' own journey took her to Berklee and Middle Tennessee State before she settled in Nashville. Eventually she reconnected with White, who was still based in Richmond and was working toward the launch of a record label called Spacebomb. The rest, as they say, is history...In this episode I am in discussion with Dr. Andrew Webber.A huge thank you to the wonderful Heather Murray.https://buymeacoffee.com/lownoiseWhy buy me a coffee?Low Noise is proudly ad-free.

In episode #131 of The XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar meets Dan Croll to discuss his latest album, Fools. Returning to his familiar haunt Montrose Recording in Richmond, VA, where he also recorded his 2020 LP Grand Plan, Dan Croll has now stepped into the role of co-producer this time around alongside his regular recording partner, Spacebomb's Matthew E. White. Fools finds Dan Croll at a crossroads, documenting recent events with warmth and wit to help him decide which direction to take. Five years after leaving his beloved Liverpool for sun-soaked L.A., a move made on a whim, which transformed his sound, Fools poses a fundamental question - is it finally time to come home? In this interview, Dan talks about writing and recording Fools, meeting Sir Paul McCartney, his time in La, whether he is a Blue or a Red, and much more.

Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Pearla shares her debut album "Oh Glistening Onion, The Nighttime Is Coming." Pearla shares extensively the inspiration behind her contemplative lyrics, as she discusses navigating solitude, friendships, fears and the preciousness of life.

"Anything that knocks ya out, hits you harder than you planned," sings Matthew E. White on "Genuine Hesitation," which opens K Bay, the third solo album from the Spacebomb founder. And it's a knockout of a record, to be sure. A spirited producer and collaborator known for his efforts with Natalie Prass, Mountain Goats, Flo Morrissey, Sharon Van Etten and many more, the album finds him situating his traditional song craft in a future funk and avant-pop setting. On today's episode of Aquarium Drunkard's Transmissions podcast, he joins host Jason P. Woodbury to discuss the album, as well as his duo recording with former guest Lonnie Holley, Broken Mirror: A Selfie Reflection, which serves as a mutated musical twin to K Bay. Along the way, he touches on his communal approach, Miles Davis, his youth in the Philippines, and the transcendent qualities of The Flamingo's "I Only Have Eyes For You."

Angélica Garcia - "Llorona" from the 2021 Echo Eléctrico EP on Spacebomb. Los Angeles-born, Richmond-based singer/songwriter Angélica Garcia uses music to explore her many identities as an American with Mexican and Salvadoran descent. Garcia's 2016 debut, Medicine for Birds, was a folksy affair where her vocals twinkled in harmony with both banjos and synth beats and 2020's Cha Cha Palace, released only weeks before the world shut down, is a powerful and unique pop record that stomps with fury. So commanding were the tracks, that even Barack Obama couldn't help but take notice. Continuing her journey of constant evolution, Garcia's latest release, Echo Eléctrico, couldn't be further from her prior records. An interpretation of traditional Mexican ranchera songs, Garcia uses richly textured synth and vocal loops to layer the passionately sung ballads. Our Song of the Day, “Llorona,” sits smack dab in the middle of the 5-song EP and uses cascading looped vocals as the sole instrumentation behind Garcia's intensely emoted quavers.

Matthew E. White's new album, K Bay, is a wildly diverse record that has no regard for current trends. But then that's how Matthew has run his career from day one. Not only is he a musician, he is also the founder of the Spacebomb music company, which has released albums by artists like Natalie Prass, Bedouine and Nadia Reid, and become one of the most well regarded independent music companies around. We talk about that whole ride in this interview, as well as Matthew's upbringing in the Philippines and Japan, his path into music, and much, much more.

Matthew E White is a jack of all trades. A producer hailing from Richmond, Virginia, he's worked with everyone from Sharon Van Etten to Natalie Prass, Justin Vernon to The Mountain Goats. A few years ago he set up Spacebomb, a studio and label which also acts as a community space for artists to experiment.   This all feeds off his own work, as a multi-instrumentalist, former jazz player, and songwriter for whom music has no boundaries. In short, Matt is the kinda guy you love to get stuck talking to in the kitchen at a house party, which I why I asked him to Take 5.   From ESG to Frankie Valli to Marvin Gaye, crawl inside the full spectrum of Matthew E White's mind. ESG - You're No Good Augustus Pablo - King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown Miles Davis - Rated X Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night) Marvin Gaye - Mercy Mercy Me (the Ecology)

This episode features the musicians Matthew E. White and Lonnie Holley. In this conversation we talk about their new collaborative album Broken Mirror, A Selfie Reflection, which was inspired by early '70s jazz fusion, specifically Miles Davis' classic On the Corner. We also discuss White's company Spacebomb, which is a studio/label/artist management company mostly servicing artists in Richmond, Virginia, as well as Holley's long history as an artist and musician, and the unusual process that resulted in the new record. 

It's the show we look forward to all year long.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 40 °F, but highs today are back up in the 60s and we should see plenty of sunshine. As far as the weather goes, we’ve got a bunch of pleasant days ahead of us.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 1,484 positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth, and 34 people in Virginia have died as a result of the virus. VDH reports 170 cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 59, Henrico: 78, and Richmond: 33). Big grain of salt with these numbers this morning, though. 11 hours ago (which is more recent than the last update to the VDH site), Michael Martz at the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported 103 positive cases in Henrico and 67 in Richmond. Again, my standard disclaimer about the number of tests administered still applies.Sean Gorman and Mel Leonor at the RTD have some updates from the Governor’s press conference yesterday. I appreciate the Gov saying that Virginia will hit peakvirus between late April and late May and that he wants “Virginians to prepare themselves for the long haul.” I think we should keep in mind that the long haul might, in fact, be much longer—even after peakvirus. This tweet from @pinboardresonates: Once we get through the worst of times locally, it’ll be really hard for folks to continue sheltering in place—which is exactly what we’ll need to do!Reminder: City Council meets today at 3:30 PM for a special meeting to introduce legislation that will allow them to meet remotely and finally get around to passing some laws. They will stream audio from this meeting, and, assuming no technical issues (probably a totally fine assumption, right?), you can tune in here. After they get the audio sorted and we can all hear what they get up to, I’m excited for Council to keep thinking about what public engagement looks like moving forward. More and more I feel like if you want folks involved, you have to provide asynchronous ways for them to do that. I’m not sure what that looks like for City Council or how they can do it equitably, but I am sure a single Facebook Live session at a specific time is not it.The YWCA announced that they have re-opened their downtown preschool and will provide full-day childcare to essential personnel in Richmond. It costs $250 per week, but there is a sliding scale and full scholarships for families that qualify. If this sounds like you or an essential worker you know and love, apply via sprout@ywcarichmond.org. Also, while we’re talking YWCA, their regional hotline for domestic and sexual violence is, of course, open 24 hours a day: 804.612.6126. Another number to put in your phone for whenever you may need it.As pictured above, the Brook Road bike lanes are totally under construction! I walked out there with my family yesterday during our scheduled “go outside” time, and grabbed that picture of the southbound lane near Bellevue. Crews are still working on paving the northbound lane in that area, but, progress! Plus, I hear work on the Patterson and Malvern lanes will begin soon, too. If you see other cool infrastructure popping up around town, please send a few pictures my way.NPR’s World Cafe stopped by Richmond to talk with Matthew E. White from local recording studio Spacebomb. Spacebomb just put out that new Angelica Garcia albumthat I can’t stop listening to, so make sure you check that out after listening to this interview.Yesterday was “Census Day,” of which I was unaware until I saw a bunch of people tweeting about it last night. If you haven’t taken the literally four minutes to fill out the Census, please make sure you do so. A lot of federal funding, something that’s going to be absolutely critical over the next year or two, is distributed according to Census data. Filling out the census means more money for the place you live.This morning’s longreadCities are on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic — not the cause of it.I love this piece from a city councilmember in St. Paul. Imagine what Richmond could be like if our City Council was filled with progressive people who loved cities this much?At the end of the day, here’s what our response to COVID-19 will tell us: you either care about people of color, young people, old people, poor people, sick people, transit-dependent people, undocumented people, queer people and people who can’t afford a home — or you don’t. You either believe our cities and communities are for all of us, or you openly and proudly hope the experiment to make it that way fails, because you stand for the opposite. Candidates, columnists, and anyone else right now crowing against urbanism, science, human decency and good governance are telling us what they stand for. Let it be known in this moment, in our cities and across our country, what we stand for. We are fighting for a rent and mortgage suspension, moratorium on evictions, healthcare for all, massive transit and green infrastructure funding to aid economic recovery, compassionate homelessness response, labor rights for those taking care of us, bailouts for the people whether or not you have papers, and so much more, because we don’t just believe in the idea of cities. We believe in the people of them, and in our non-negotiable right to live with what we need, where we are, close to those we love.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

Bob and Chris talk with Megan and Isaac Wardell, who shepherd a Christian music collaborative out of Charlottesville, VA made up of dozens of musicians, theologians, pastors, and faith leaders from many places and traditions. In 2017 they released the project’s debut album, Work Songs, about vocation. Last week came the follow-up Neighbor Songs. This diverse musical collection is the product of a beautiful and challenging gathering exploring themes of hospitality in and across difference, disability, gender, race, theology, and tradition. You’ll be treated to these sacred sounds built in the Church from and for the life of the world.

Cameron Ralston is the house bassist and a producer for Spacebomb, a collective of musicians based in Richmond, Virginia, who set up a record label and production company based around a house band. They followed a model established by the likes of Stax or Motown, with a signature style inspired by a love of great American soul music. As The Guardian put it, "they make albums that sound like a million dollars" - and this and this October they assemble in London for a one off show that will include guest collaborations with the likes of Natalie Prass, Slow Club, The Waterboys' Mike Scott, Foxygen and Charlie Fink from Noah and the Whale. Ahead of that show we met Spacebomb bassist Cameron Ralston to talk about something he likes to do when he's not in the studio or on the road: gardening.

At a time when raucous, highly produced pop, amplified arena rock and jittery electronic jams are the musical currency of the day, Azniv Korkejian is a tranquil pond. The Hollywood-by-way-of-Aleppo folk singer is a throwback strummer whose tour de force single “Solitary Daughter” contains what might be her mission statement: “I don’t need your company to feel saved… I don’t want your pity, concern or your scorn/ I’m calm by my lonesome/ I feel right at home/ Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow.”  Think about how punk rock that notion is as you ponder the latest outrage from Washington or headline about a deadly natural disaster. Fittingly, Korkejian has adopted Bedouine as her stage name, a feminized version of the word used to describe nomadic Arab tribes who traditionally live in the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East.  And, as you will notice when she plays at this weekend’s 2017 MidPoint Music Festival and visits WCPO’s Digital Lounge on Saturday morning for a Lounge Acts set, she is a one-woman tour de force who doesn’t need rattling studio tricks to drive a point home. A serene singer whose calm nature is an antidote to the over-caffeinated popular music of the day, she chose the name as a symbol of her own peripatetic life. "Moving around so much caused me at some point to feel displaced, to not really belong anywhere and I thought that was a good title,” she explains in her bio. Born in Aleppo, Syria, to Armenian parents, Bedouine grew up in Saudi Arabia before her family settled in Boston and then Houston. Los Angeles; Lexington, Kentucky; Austin, Texas; and Savannah, Georgia were all stops along the road before she moved back to Hollywood to work as a dialogue and music sound editor.  "I just kept meeting the right people, who were professional musicians, and even though they were going on these big legitimate tours, they were still coming back to this amazing small scene, still demoing at home, and I immediately felt welcomed to join in on that. L.A. actually made me less jaded," she says. It was the constant motion, the inhalation of so many cultures, sights and sounds that inspired the classic 1960s folk-meets-1970s-country-soul sound on her self-titled debut, which was released in July on singer Matthew E. White’s Spacebomb label. The gauzy album has hints of bossa nova and clear inspirations from Joni Mitchell’s forthright storytelling to Brazilian samba singer Astrud Gilberto’s groove and the melancholy of Nick Drake and Leonard Cohen.  It was crafted with a crack team of side players, including longtime Beck/Tom Waits guitarist Smokey Hormel and bassist/producer Gus Seyffert (Beck, Norah Jones). But it is 32-year-old Bedouine’s clear-eyed, confident storytelling that rises above the lush arrangements. "While the rest of the record dazzles with sweetness—'like a lamp in the light of day/Drowning in summer rays,' as she puts it—the centerpiece is a haunting protest song," writes Sam Sodomsky for Pitchfork of the song emotional “Summer Cold,” Bedouine’s reaction to America’s role in the chaotic civil strife in her native Syria. To drive the point home, the singer uses sound samples she found to sonically recreate her grandmother's street in Aleppo. -- Set list: One of These Days - interview - Nice and Quiet Solitary Daughter
