  1. Flaer: Woodhouse Interviews

    Flaer: Woodhouse Interviews

    Sculpture becomes painting becomes music. All is intwined. That’s the philosophy of Realf Heygate, musically known as Flaer. The multi-disciplinary artist explores family, grief, and nature in a vast swath of mediums, but they are all woven together, part of a mix media tapestry. On his newest album Translations, Heygate crafts ambient-folk, reminiscent of American folklorists Oregon, as he traces the history of his family and his mother’s work as a linguist. Through an unfolding beauty, laced with cello, guitar, piano, and chipping birds, Flaer sculpts something magnificent. We talked with him below.

    Laura Itandehui: Woodhouse Interviews

    Si Me Ven Alegre is all push and pull, ebb and flow Laura Itandehui’s vibrant, infinitely danceable new album strolls through a bevy of Latin subgenres, always plucking the most colorful pieces for itself. Meanwhile, lovers are tossed across continent, the dead are ritualized through the power of rock’n’roll, and Itandehui’s band dances through tears of joy and pain. We talked to her below.

    Nina Maia: Woodhouse Interviews

    INTERIA moves like a swan. Graceful on the surface, churning below to keep afloat. Nina Maia’s remarkably assured debut arrives with shimmering beauty. The production is sleek and lush by turns, her voice is pop diva perfection with a hint of smoldering, darker powers at the edges. But the influence of trip-hop detours and bursting walls of sound put INTERIA at an odd, intriguing place, even among other Brazilian pop albums that delight in flashing their myriad influences. We talked with Nina below.

    Bask: Woodhouse Interviews

    The Turning is a pulp novel turned into a metal album. And that is some of the highest praise I can heap on North Carolina stalwarts Bask. The churning mix of country, stoner metal, old school rock’n’roll, and cosmic storytelling lands The Turning somewhere between Conan and John Carter. It’s space cowboys with riffs. But this is no thudding slab of simple guitar chugging. The evolution of these ever spiraling, mutating songs is astonishing, and with pedal steel and strings in tow, The Turning is heartfelt and beautiful before it dives back down into head-banging goodness. We talked to Zeb below.

    WA Keys: Woodhouse Interview

    Heavenly reverb is suddenly shattered. Jack Tobias loves ruptures. That’s clear from his work in YHWH Nailgun, where machine gunning synths burst through previously coherent sonic thoughts. On his solo EP Warm People, he pulls off the same trick, enshrouding the songs in ethereal production, then the hammer drops. We talked to him here on The Woodhouse.

    Me Lost Me: Woodhouse Interviews

    A great work of art can erase the human behind it. The greatest art makes it impossible to forget that a flawed being created brief perfection. A brush mark reminds you a painting did not come fully formed into the world. Someone bought canvas, paint, and physically made the image before you. Me Lost Me is intimately familiar with this sort of minutia, and loves exploring it. Her excellent new album This Material Moment, views art, life, the body as mutable materials, changeable and ever in flux. Her combination of influences from traditional British folk to modern indie pop fuse at strange angles, the tendons between them wrapping into odd, compelling forms. We talked to her below.

  7. Cave Sermon: Woodhouse Interviews

    Cave Sermon: Woodhouse Interviews

    The names in Fragile Wings suggest softness; tenuous and brittle. And there is desperation in “Hopeless Magic,” “Three-Headed Moth” and, of course, the album title. But the album is anything but fragile. A deft mixture of progressive, death, and post-metal, Australia’s Cave Sermon delivers a rousing manifesto, in the same echelon as Deafheaven or Baroness, able to match impenetrable sludge with roaring beauty. We talked to Charlie Park on the Woodhouse.

  8. Alex Zethson · Johan Jutterström: Woodhouse Interviews

    Alex Zethson · Johan Jutterström: Woodhouse Interviews

    Stockholm duo Alex Zethson and Johan Jutterström’s new album is a beautiful, minimal reflection on perfectionism and failure. Through an intense and intimate recording process that picks up the clack of saxophone valves, and the humming of piano strings, It Could/If I refuses to let anyone forget there are two flawed, imperfect humans behind the music. The album reaches into melancholy and uncanniness similar to MK Velsorf & Aase Nielsen’s Opening Night, and meditates on how music is perfect while in the composer’s mind, and instantly blemished when it is played. We talked to them below.
