As a close friend of Dory's, a performer of her music, and one of the carriers of her legacy (and her microphone !), Julia shares stories of Dory's painting and needlepointing in her Berkshires farmhouse, Frank Sinatra's deaf cat, and plans for the Dory Previn archive.

My average white guy costume always includes a baseball cap but I fuck it up by wearing one from @spinstersounds.bsky.social or Mary Lattimore's "music for applying shimmering eyeshadow."

"Western Massachusetts and New York experimental music scene veteran Wednesday Knudsen’s massive double album Atrium has an exceptionally good claim on ambient record of the year." Thank you @aquariumdrunkard.com! aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/12/08/a...

So great to see Wednesday Knudsen’s ATRIUM on this list! “Each title evokes an image or feeling (such as “Place of Dream,” “Room and Window,” “Skyline”) that the listener can focus on while immersing themselves in her sound poems.” daily.bandcamp.com/best-of-2025...

Wednesday Knudsen :: Atrium aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/12/02/w... An immersive double LP of woodsy ambient from upstate New York worthy of such masters as Joanna Brouk, Laraaji and Iasos, alongside the Japanese environmental music tradition.

Atrium harnesses its hymns under the canopy of trees, a beacon in the blur of disconnection and disorientation. The record seeps through the groundwater, quivers on the breeze, and hums softly through the wires until it ignites a necessary thrum for those who seek it. bit.ly/49Si9KS

Exciting news from @spinstersounds.bsky.social a Top 5 label for me -- the fantastic Rosali album No Medium is back in stock in vinyl rosali.bandcamp.com/album/no-med...

“Knudsen deftly uses these basic ideas to create huge worlds.” Read Marc Masters' astute review of Wednesday Knudsen's double LP ATRIUM in his monthly Bandcamp Daily column of the best new experimental music. Pick-up a copy of ATRIUM on @bandcamp.com daily.bandcamp.com/best-experim...

Wednesday Knudsen’s double LP ATRIUM it out today on SPINSTER & Feeding Tube! As equally as ATRIUM is an experience of presence, it also reinforces the power of art as resistance, distilling our attention in a language WK calls “the opening of the heart.” wednesdayknudsen.bandcamp.com/album/atrium-2

This was such a thoughtful, reverent session, listening to and discussing Ella Hanshaw’s music. Attendees became fans and were singing along by the end. They wanted to take this photo to share with Ella’s family ellahanshaw.bandcamp.com/album/ella-h...

Though there's a lot of overlap bet/n @spinstersounds.bsky.social & my folklore work, the Ella Hanshaw record is the first to really bridge those 2 worlds directly. Excited to talk about that with 2 of my favorite feminist folklorists & musicians at the big #AFS2025 folklore conference this weekend.

Guitar mage Tom Carter (Charalambides) on Wednesday Knudsen's forthcoming double LP ATRIUM... ATRIUM will be out on digital & CD 10/24. Vinyl has been delayed to 11/28 due to a pressing issue, but it will be here in due time! Pre-order: wednesdayknudsen.bandcamp.com/album/atrium-2

Today we release the 2nd single off Wednesday Knudsen's double LP, ATRIUM. Skyline I is a deep & expansive melody of arching arpeggios, evoking Lynchian scenes of a stark winter forest or a city coming into view from a vast desert landscape. Listen: wednesdayknudsen.bandcamp.com/album/atrium-2

"The piece raises from the canvas to the canopy, echoing out over the mountains in a stunning reflection of the jagged landscape." Thank you @ravensingstheblues.bsky.social for this review of Wednesday Knudsen's "Fair Aegis" off her 2xLP ATRIUM, out 10/24 www.ravensingstheblues.com/wednesday-kn...

We also learned that she was a renowned cooker of beans, apparent Michael Hurley adapter, and early feminist who liked hangin out with weird people (Cheech Marin among them)! Listen, rate, review, and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Pre-order Wednesday Knudsen's double LP ATRIUM, out 10/24 on SPINSTER & Feeding Tube Records wednesdayknudsen.bandcamp.com/album/atrium-2

Today we share the video for "Fair Aegis," the 1st single off Wednesday Knudsen's forthcoming double LP, ATRIUM. Shot, produced & edited by Knudsen, the video is an homage to the leaf-light and light-ways of her home's hillside setting in NY's Taconic Mountains 🍃⛅🍂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hc...

This is appalling. But if turns some more people onto Yasmin Williams's extraordinary music, it will have done some good. Go buy her albums. They are the perfect accompaniment to the arrival of autumn.

If you know the songs of @lou-turner.bsky.social, you know she's a poet's songwriter. But she's also a songwriter's poet, a truth on beautiful display in her connective & inventive book of country music poems, Twin Lead Lines, coming in Sept. & up for pre-order now via @thirdmanbooks.bsky.social

We can only imagine how tickled Ella would have been to know her songs and story were being aired across the hills and hollers of her beloved home state of West Virginia 📻🎶💚 wvpublic.org/story/arts-c...

“Across faded tape hiss and the incidental noise of daily life, [Ella Hanshaw’s] voice remains steady and luminous honoring tradition with self-made testimony.” www.newcommute.net/feed/2025/8/...

Another lovely feature on the story of our latest release, Ella Hanshaw's Black Book. “Mamaw didn’t make this music for vanity’s sake. When the tapes were so scratchy and grainy, the point for me was that it was sincere and so direct, straight into your heart.” richmondmagazine.com/news/sunday-...

"Ella Hanshaw's Black Book is a fascinating glimpse into the life of a dedicated mother and wife who managed to find agency, identity, and power in her singing." Thank you to Songlines Magazine for the press & praise! Just one small but crucial edit ✍️: Ella was from ^WEST (best) Virginia :)

With her granddaughter's help, singer Ella Hanshaw's "lonesome housewife country" lives on.
