Kyle Field is a visual artist and the songwriter behind the 25-years-running group Little Wings. Over the course of more than a dozen albums, he has written a classic cannon of songs that continues to gain listenership to this day. Working without the help of powerful record companies, the songs have earned their place viscerally, person by person, creating a cherished and loyal following around the world. Little Wings continues to release records at an incredible clip and shows no signs of slowing, the songs keep growing. His latest and greatest High on the Glade was recorded with legendary producer Kramer. It’s due out June 7th on Perpetual Doom.

Lina Tullgren’s first record came in 2016, a homemade, under-the-skin set of laments. Subsequent LPs and constant touring cemented Tullgren’s reputation as a composer of “wide-eyed wonder paired with a resonant despair.” 2019’s Free Cell showed Tullgren lingering in the margins of their songs, finding places both aloof and spare. Floodgates opened; Tullgren spent the subsequent years exploring deep listening, improvised music, and extended technique. They developed a patience and faith in cooperation that ranged at the far edge of song.

Collaborations with Mayo Thompson and Claire Rousay furthered this development. This was not a break with the past for Tullgren, rather it was an opportunity to see how far a song could go. And from that distance, deep in a landscape of drone and tension, Tullgren returned to the bright vulnerability of a lyric and a hook. Weaving together the affective and the radical, Tullgren took the quiet isolation of a shoreline cabin to write the songs that would become Decide Which Way The Eyes Are Looking.

Release show for Andy Boay (Tonstartssbandht)

"Andy Boay’s vocal-guitar-based psychedelia taps the euphoric and the sorrowful, both onstage amongst friends and strangers, and tracking alone at his 8-track in the studio. He has played in the duo Tonstartssbandht with his brother Edwin since 2007. He spent six years playing guitar in the touring band for Mac DeMarco. These days he lives and works in the East Village neighborhood of New York City."

"Julian Bozeman performs off-kilter avant pop songs about love, loss, hope, and regret…intense, raw, and absurd. Like in ancient Greek theater, Julian becomes a mask through which the audience can experience and ultimately release intense human emotion. Julian performs immersed in projections made from old and new technologies, creating a visual landscape that feels both nostalgic and eerily future-facing."

Music for sleeping and waking, walking and driving, hunting and fishing, for loitering outside a roadhouse on the haunted tundra. Okay in elevators, not great for dinner. On Caveman Wakes Up Friendship’s new album and second for Merge Records, the band’s historically capacious definition of country music grows wider still. Shambolic guitars are offset by flute pads, bleary poetry is set against a Motown rhythm section, a song about Jerry Garcia and First Lady Betty Ford fades out with a drum solo, like if Talk Talk came from a dingy Philadelphia basement, and was fronted by James Tate. Songwriter Dan Wriggins’ ragged baritone cuts through eleven murky, swirling country-rock songs with profound lyrical substance and sincerity. Like an alarm clock incorporated into the edge of a dream, Caveman Wakes Up belongs equally to the conscious and subconscious mind, fraught with background, steeped in reference and experimentation, delivered casually and as a dire warning, dedicated, above all, to music’s creative soul.

Over the years, dedication has paid off. Friendship has become a kind of reverse supergroup, wherein the band itself and each individual member is located centrally in an increasingly prominent scene of young folk and country musicians and songwriters. Drummer Michael Cormier O’Leary leads the instrumental collective Hour and, along with bassist Jon Samuels, run Dear Life Records, home to friends and peers who count Friendship as a major influence, including MJ Lenderman, Florry, and Fust. (Samuels also plays lead guitar in MJ Lenderman and the Wind). Guitarist Peter Gill’s band 2nd Grade records prolifically. Wriggins began writing the songs of Caveman Wakes Up on a downtuned classical guitar of Lenderman’s, and finished on a barely-tuned piano in an apartment he shared with Sadurn’s G DeGroot.

"Leopardo, the well-mannered and quirky Swiss group from Fribourg, are back once again with SIDE A / SIDE B, an album that invites the world into their jagged and naïve psych-pop and electrified tape experiments that undercuts conventions and create a scanty, but vivid compendium of absurdity, delicacy, and humor, à la The Velvets, Slapp Happy, Desperate Bicycles, and the Performing Ferret Band. While 2021’s Malcantone displayed sketches of a group in progress and 2023’s full-length was a somewhat “best of” solo recordings from bandleader Romain Savary, Side A / Side B seems to identify a new chapter of the group’s knowingly charming perfect unpop with a fully observant long-term trajectory and naïve spirit that makes humanity more believable." -Joe Massaro

Join us for a special SWDYT evening with... William Hooker, Alan Braufman, and James Brandon Lewis performing the recently unearthed 1977 album “A Time Within”

Featuring William Hooker (drums), David S. Ware (tenor saxophone), and Alan Braufman (alto saxophone), this recording captures a rare and electrifying moment in time. Recorded live at the New York Jazz Museum on January 14, 1977, the album has been newly mastered by Joe Lambert and is now released for the first time on March 28, 2025 via Valley of Search.

This album was recorded at a pivotal moment in each musician's career. William Hooker, already recognized as one of the most innovative drummers on the free jazz scene, was forging new paths with his fiercely creative compositions and collaborations. David S. Ware was on the verge of debuting as a bandleader with Birth of a Being (Hathut), foreshadowing the spiritually charged and deeply expressive playing that would define his influential career. And Alan Braufman had recently released his debut album, Valley of Search (India Navigation), establishing himself as a key figure in the loft jazz movement.

Together, they created a dynamic, raw expression of New York City free jazz at its purest—urgent, unfiltered, and brimming with the energy of the era. The trio's collective histories include collaborations with Cecil Taylor, Matthew Shipp, Cooper-Moore, William Parker, and Thurston Moore, underscoring their deep roots in the avant-garde jazz tradition.

William Hooker and Alan Braufman continue to perform and release music, bringing their uncompromising artistry to audiences worldwide. David S. Ware, who passed away in 2012, left an enduring legacy as one of the most revered saxophonists of his generation. This recording stands as a testament to their shared vision and a vital piece of jazz history.
