I'm Basic Printer! I make experimental pop music in Nashville, Tennessee. Being an oddball for the city, I've had to pave my own path. I'm here to talk to you about what it's like to stick out like a sore thumb and not give a shit while doing it in the world of music.

    Ep. 84 - THE NELWARD INTERVIEW

    Nelward is a very cool musician that I've been admiring from a distance for years now. For a long while he was the number one artist in the "Fans also like" category of the Basic Printer Spotify page. Additionally, I can't even count the amount of comments I've gotten where people said "This sounds like Nelward" or jokingly called me "Nelward 2" (and this is something I find hella endearing). Nelward has been booking his first ever full band headlining shows, and for his first out of town show with this setup, he looked 4 hours north of Atlanta towards Nashville, TN. Being the resident Gloitchpopper in town, obviously I raised my hand to help him book a show here - and voila, we managed to snag a date at DRKMTTR - specifically Friday, 12/5/2025. In celebration of the show, we had a cozy interview to talk about fucked up dreams, Nintendo, and what it sounds like to mash up Pharrell with Radiohead. Enjoy, and see you at the show in Nashville! https://www.drkmttrcollective.com/shows/nelward-w-basic-printer-and-summer-school-05-dec

    Ep. 83 - A Fan Interviews Me About Fantastic Wrist

    On this FAN-tastic episode of the Printer Pod, a FAN interviews me about FANtastic WRIST! Hey real quick, are you picking up on those puns? I left them right there. Send me an email to confirm you understand. Anyway, I have a long chat with long time (and BIG time) Basic Printer fan Joe Kern who had some questions and theories about the album. I figured, hey, this could be a great way to celebrate the fact that this sucker is NOW on vinyl! Which, btw, if you want one, head to stuff.basicprinter.com and grab one! Hope you enjoy this chat...

    Ep. 82 - Having a Good Friday w/ Yoni Wolf of Why?

    Hooooo boy! Y'aint readin' that wrong. I had a delightful afternoon chat with one of my biggest musical influences Yoni Wolf. To those who dunno - Yoni has been an influential rapper, songwriter, singer, producer, and performer for decades now. He's made innovative, genre-bending music all along the way that hones in on his sharp, expertly crafted lyricism. These days, he's gotten into a mix of writing more original music and producing other artists. On this Good Friday, we celebrate the god himself with a nice convo about his experience as an artist and how to best present the emotional center of a song through writing.

    Ep. 81 - Deconstructing One of My Favorite Albums: "Ebb" by Attxla

    Attxla is a singer, songwriter, and producer of some heavenly-ass experimental r&b pop music. I could barely even explain it to you, but it's heady, gorgeous, and insanely danceable and SINGABLE. I met Attxla through her being a fan of my music, and it took me one listen of her record to be immediately floored and addicted to her stuff. It is absolutely perfect. In fact, it was one of my most listened albums on Spotify this year - FACTUALLY! She made it into my Spotify wrapped. I was so pumped about her record "Ebb" and had heard it so many times that I was dying to have her on the podcast to talk about it at length while showing it off to you all as well. Seriously, listen to this perfect little album, it will fulfill you. Hope you enjoy this passionate conversation about one of my favorite records with its creator!

    Ep. 80 - Reminiscing w/ West End Ritos (Producer, Songwriter, Drummer for Miki Fiki)

    Hot dog. Alex Clayton, aka West End Ritos, has been in my musical Nashville rolodex for years now! I met him while playing a show at The Cobra and saw him around on the reg after that. When I booked Miki Fiki for a show with Spirit of the Bear, I was surprised to find that he was their new drummer! Positively blew my mind. And now, my mind is getting blown (what) again - because Alex has been working on some solo tunes and just released them yesterday. Had to have a chat with him about all this progression - SO I DID, and it was nice. Hope you love our convo!

    Ep. 79 - Dissecting Fantastic Wrist (w/ Niagara Moon)

    Well well well. The Wrist is finally here...or should I say, it's finally on streaming. Technically it's been around for like 5 months already and if you REALLY wanted to listen to it, you could've. NONETHELESS. To celebrate the more 'worldwide' release of the record, I wanted to get a real, tough-as-nails '60 minutes' style interview to hash out all the grittiness of it. How does one do that? You intentionally hire a hard-hitting interviewer to wrench the answers out of you like a police interrogation. Did I do that? Not really. I hired the very genial Thomas Erwin of Niagara Moon to do it, knowing he'd be kind and interesting in his engaging with me. AND HE WAS! So, enjoy what I like to call 'the definitive Fantastic Wrist interview'...

    Ep. 78 - Being the Artist You Want to Be w/ CASSIDI (Independent Pop Artist)

    CASSIDI is (in my opinion) an unapologetic pop artist from Utica, NY. Yes, you read that right! Utica! I thought that was the neatest thing. It turns out she comes from a long line of amazing artists from the area, and being such a force in a lower key city has its benefits - which is one of the main things we talk about on this pod, since I'm from Binghamton, NY (which is a similar existence...and also not far away). Anyhow, enjoy this lovely convo.

    Ep. 77 - "Everything You Need's In Your Own Backyard" w/ Matt Ebbers

    Matt is one of those people that you feel so immediately friendly and close to even though you barely know the person or have barely hung out. I say that because that's pretty much our situation. We met first in 2018 when he was interviewing me ahead of my show on tour in Binghamton, NY (my hometown) and it was interesting to know that there was someone out there that was interested in this uncharacteristic show happening in the area. Since then, I've kept tabs on him and have been really happy to see him forging a musical path up there and keeping it alive and innovative since I left. Makes me wanna go back! We talk about Binghamton and all things music for an hour here. Hope ya dig it.
