Rebecca Foon and Aliayta Foon-Dancoes are here to discuss their debut album, Reverie, studying at Princeton, their family dynamic and their respective early forays in classical music, how much formal music education can inform improvisation and punk rock, Rebecca’s work on the Lost River Music Festival and the Pathway to Paris initiative, how their feelings about the ecological inspiration behind Reverie are more melancholy since collective climate change mitigation targets have not been met, a conversation about the novel The Alchemist with Patti Smith and Jesse Paris Smith, what’s next, and much more.

Ep. #1031: Leanne Betasamosake Simpson

Leanne Betasamosake Simpson returns to discuss her new album Live Like the Sky, why people are so often air unaware, her book Theory of Water and how a world ending means a new one is beginning, the concept of generative refusal, lakes, oceans, skiing, running, and surfing, holding a tape recorder up to a car radio speaker to capture underground rock music in the 1980s and how those new wave and post-punk sounds inform this new record, learning to sing and making music that is fun even though the lyrics are heavy, touring, a new book, other future plans, and much more.
