In lieu of a Best Of podcast, I wanted to commemorate the 80th volume of the podcast with a guest curator; an undertaking there will be plenty more of in the future. So, I invited Olivia Scibelli to curate the entirety of the episodes programming. Olivia is best known for her work in Fancy Tramp, Idle Bloom and Husband Stitch, not to mention her involvement in various undertakings like Tennessee Rock Camp. Her work is often explosive and visceral (some bands more than others) but manages to maintain a level of accessibility.

Her selections are a great peek inside a world of Nashville music that I, personally, was not very familiar with. From the growling Devaga Bike to the barking Chunk to the gentle Lawndry, there’s a bit of everything in here.

Many thanks to Olivia for putting this together and allowing We Own This Town to feature a lot of artists we’ve missed previously.

  1. Husband Stitch – Yourself, Under the Microscope
  2. Negra – Want It
  3. Devaga Bike – Horny Math
  4. Watcher – Chunk
  5. Lean – Blooming
  6. Lawndry – Naomi
  7. Sallow – Erase You
  8. Modern Convenience – Fuck Off
  9. Soccer Mommy – 3 am at a party
  10. Gnarwhal – Have Fun Tomorrow From Ozzy_Stella

Fidelity High

If you aren’t familiar with the WXNA show Fidelity High, please find some time to deep dive into their archive of profiles and podcasts. While there are plenty of non-Nashville creative types featured, there is a rich slew of creators from Nashville that are worth your time. Here’s a handful:

Alicia Bognanno (BULLY)
Patrick Damphier (Club Roar, Photo Ops)
Olivia Scibelli (Idle Bloom, Husband Stitch)
Louis Charette (The Groove)
Ben Blackwell (Third Man Records)

Flourescent Half Dome – Jewel Tones

Posted Wed November 30, 2016

While `Fluorescent Half Dome` may be the title of a Dirty Projectors song it should be better known for being the name of Krista Glover’s solo outing (also known for her enjoyable work in dream-pop band Wildfront). There is a distinctive 80′s production quality to the seven tracks, down to the programmed drums and occasionally Cure-esque guitar but Glover’s optimistic abandon with her vocal delivery is really what gels it all together. 

Personally, I think every song has something worthwhile to offer but if you need a starting point, go with Tapestry.

Paperhead “Dama de Lavanda”

Posted Tue November 29, 2016

Mind currently being blown by the goodness of the first sneak peek of Paperhead’s new album, Chew. Latin-y horns, jangly guitars, hazy Beatles-esque vocals, a tiny bit of guitar lick and a flute tinged outro; a combo you’d never think would work quite this well. Officially excited for the full album.

PANGS “Do Better”

Posted Tue November 15, 2016

PANGS is many things; sometimes they’re introspective dreamy electronic pop. Sometimes they’re abrasive electronic soundscapes. And sometimes they’re absolutely flagrant pop songs. The later is the case with “Do Better”, the latest from the outfit. It’s a club hit waiting for your closed eyes, waving arms and screaming singalong on that chorus. 

The Mute Group “Brainplate in Eb”

Posted Tue November 15, 2016

Take some time to watch the newest video from The Mute Group, the new project from Umbrella Tree frontman Zachary Gresham. The video, directed by _1_2_7 features some creative work with coloring dyes and white roses. What’s it all mean? There’s no way of knowing but it’s entrancing to watch.
