Sleepover Show #8: Lady Lamb the Beekeeper

I can tell you about the flood in my dreams until we both fall asleep. The last line of Lady Lamb the Beekeeper’s, Mexico, ME, —a song she played for us right after we crowded into her car to hide from the rain, is a good summation of her songs. A combination of the sweet and the sadness of life, pairing well with her voice, which slides from low hums and scratchy half-yells to quiet croons, she has the ability to encapsulate the musings of a... Read More

Sleepover Show #7: A Bit Much

Even their most pared down songs have a wondrous lyrical complexity that can only be described as hypnotic. They are a pleasure... Read More

Sleepover Show #2: Spitzer Space Telescope

Like any other fine storyteller, with Spitzer Space Telescope, the act of the telling is just as important as the cadence of the speech, the tone of the poetry, the plot of the tale. And so when he bounded into our space and thought a good idea for the first take would be to run down the hall and pop into the frame, we knew we were in for an interesting evening. For the next few hours we filmed the young singer as he told us stories by belting them... Read More
