The Altruist – Saddles
16 January 2017
Since moving to Phoenix, Arizona, I have been fortunate to meet lots of creative and inspiring people. Saddles is an example of the local talent that motivates me to create. This song is from their newly released album, “ Yoke.”
Gay Human Bones – Harlem
16 January 2017
I was excited when I moved to Tucson, Arizona after attending high school in a Virginia suburb. The desert landscape, colorful homes and alternative music felt so vibrant. Harlem is a garage band that originated in Tucson during this time of my life.
Did You See the Words – Animal Collective
16 January 2017
I have always appreciated Animal Collective. I admire their songs as being packed with emotion and unique sounds. Their music pushes me to experiment with my talents as they have with each of their albums.
Painter In Your Pocket – Destroyer
13 January 2017
To me, “Painter In Your Pocket” represents the new confidence, views and creations that evolve with experience. I find this song interesting because it shows this growth through the eyes of the past.
Castigadas En El Granero – Hinds
13 January 2017
I first discovered the Madrid rock band Hinds (then known as Deers) while living abroad. My years in Spain were spent teaching English and I was charmed by the talent, style and rebellious nature of the Spanish youth. Hinds is no exception and reminds me of the inspiration that my students constantly gave me.
Why Won’t They Talk To Me? – Tame Impala
13 January 2017
As I create jewelry from home, I occasionally find myself disconnecting from society. This isolation inevitably confirms my need to connect with others. This song encourages me to maintain a healthy balance between my work life and social life.
Goodbye Weekend – Mac Demarco
13 January 2017
Choosing to live a less traditional lifestyle is often met with misunderstanding, which many creative people can relate to. This song reinforces my belief in the importance of dismissing these misconceptions.
Heaven is a Bedroom – TV Girl
13 January 2017
The more time I spend listening to TV Girl, the more fascinated I become. I love everything about them, including their lyrics, sound, branding and heavy use of sampling.
