Got to interview this amazing trio for The Tonearm 🍃

Family members singing together is a beloved subgenre of mine, so of course I loved having this conversation with Chloe and Lily Holgate of Sibyl

Classically trained string player Isabel Pine recorded her new album across 15 wilderness locations in British Columbia, embracing imperfection, improvisation, and the unpredictable feedback of the natural world. The Tonearm's Meredith Hobbs Coons listens to the trees: In Dialogue with the Forest:

Writing this with Carolyn was the best, and the documentary is incredible (Everyone! Watch it!)

I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.

This was a really fun conversation to have. And Ben Jones spun around in his desk chair, arms to the sky, at the start and end of it, which felt celebratory and nice.

I really enjoyed getting to chat with Erika Dohi for this. Such an incredible artist.
