Happy birthday, Bob!

It's funny, you think you know your favourite Bowie song and then Drive-in Saturday appears on your shuffle thing and all bets are off.

Working on our new album... it's been almost a year since we released "I Dissolve," but it feels so much longer. Funny how an album a year is actually cookin' if you're making it from scratch, writing, playing, recording it all for real. #art #music #indie music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Music is maybe one of the greatest things people have done, and isn't it scary how fragile that is?

How do you listen to #music online? Any thoughts on YouTube's streaming app? Our channel seems to have been merged with the auto-uploaded tracks from our distributor, but we have little experience with the app. #musicsky #indiemusic (Subscribe here, if you please? music.youtube.com/channel/UCrH... )

Older recordings hold a warmth in the vocals that I miss. Listen to the shiver of the vibrato.

Imagine the calculations behind closed doors on how to deploy AI in this information warzone.

We have two full albums as playlists, with homemade videos and everything! Music's fun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToRU...

Where are my anti-war, anti-genocide musicians at? Have you written a song against war that needs some love? Please share a link. #NoWar #FreePalestine #Peace #MusicSky

had time on my commute home to stop and take this pic

This song is about the sidewalk prophets we've all encountered. It's also about the (many) songwriters who struggle with religion. 💜 #indiemusic #songwriter #musicsky youtu.be/ToRU7LvadRc?...

The vocals were recorded using a baby monitor in the bathroom for this song. (The video is filmed mostly in the same bathroom! It's genuinely lo-fi.) #skyoriginalmusictracks #indiemusic #musicsky

Some of our least viewed videos are the ones I worked hardest on, but they're throttled because of the content. "Zapruder" is about the end of public innocence after the Kennedy assassination. Trauma and conspiracy, violence and intrigue as American institutions. youtu.be/YHbNrzz_5Ro?...

Our second album, "I Dissolve," is out on the loose today, Bandcamp, and streaming wherever you get your fix. theoxbowestate.bandcamp.com/album/i-diss...

10/10 album.

I wrote this song based on a dream I had about John Prine singing about trees. (Prine's death from Covid broke my heart.) It is a live recording; I played this in one take, as you can probably tell. #noAI #noautotune #musicsky #originalmusictracks youtu.be/ktmlHk2bzdc?...

😱😭🥰 (going through every emotion as we process this release and reception)

New album, "I Dissolve," is out. 12 original songs with videos made by us. All natural, seeking the blue notes. Would love to know your thoughts. #musicsky #originalmusic #songwriter #altcountry #americana youtu.be/ToRU7LvadRc?...

I will never get my fill of catching magic hour on a train through "the city's ripped backsides" (Iggy Pop). Our b-roll is blessed. #indiemusic #musicsky #chicago #secondcity youtu.be/L_7VqPbqPAk?...

Oops oh god, broke the literary airlock. Hi we're the Literary World's Prestigious Taco Bell Quarterly. We pay $150 for your prose, poetry and art, and we are currently open for submissions. 46% of Americans didn't read a single book in 2023 according to research. We're probably fucked but live más

Any Mason Jennings fans out here? He just dropped a new song and it's just as beautiful as you'd expect. youtu.be/OM5V3kDpWYk?...

I think we all need more trees on main.

These are new mixes with a few surprises (if you heard this one on the initial release, you'll notice a little lounge has opened up down this street) open.spotify.com/track/7fiWk3...

It's the real Labor Day - May Day!

We are also on dozens of other streaming services, so chances are we are where you are.

At least we still have dril.

John Prine had this plaintive ability to pierce your heart. Truly a rare gift. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfwG...

"When I broke a string at the Irving Plaza show in New York, the big one for me cause it was where I lived, he strolled out onstage and handed me his acoustic. 'Easy,' he said in my ear, in that husky, scary voice of his. 'Take it easy.'" 👑

"Don't bore us, get to the chorus."

Iconic.

It blows my mind that we're approaching 15,000 followers on YouTube. We have no idea who these people are, they aren't bots or anything like that, it's just a funny thing that happens sometimes where a sound hits a place 1/3 of a second after it is emitted and it echoes confirmation of existence.
