Silva sings with a direct pensiveness, nuance, and depth that can only come from real-lived experience. Her songs tap into a rich interior world, where feelings of loss, accomplishment, and love all coincide. In this world, these complex and complicated feelings are met with curiosity and hopefulness, brushed with a tinge of dirt.

The music of multi-instrumentalist Spencer Zahn is marked by openness: spacious sonic landscapes, rich with contributions from his creative community. Zahn’s newest album, Sunday Painter, is a refined step forward for the New York City-based musician — a lush collection of instrumental songs that undulate along waves of jazz, ambient pop, Americana, and neo-classical — pulling from Zahn’s established musical background and collaborative ethos.

Maria Usbeck’s latest album, Naturaleza, is a bold new chapter for the always shape-shifting Ecuadorian singer-songwriter, diving deep into her singular realm of idiosyncratic pop music while retaining the observational, inquisitorial perspective that’s marked her work thus far. Usbeck’s third album for the Cascine label follows the striking debut Amparo from 2016 (which featured co-production credits from Caroline Polachek) and 2019’s expansive, exploratory Envejeciendo, which found Usbeck stretching her legs into the warm glow of 1980s electronic music and the spacious grooves of city pop.

Fresh to Los Angeles from Berlin, John Moods is a soul enclosed in a temporary fleshy body, whose music is as much about healing and observing the blind spots of life, as it is about heading the dark calling of the unknown. His melodies are intuitive, often delivered with a soft voice and the lyrics touch themes of death positivity, natural intelligence, friendship, and love. His sound is both of the future and past - intuitive, vulnerable, melancholic, joyful, and untamed. Recent collaborations include The Zenmenn, Ben Sinclair, Paul Cherry, Devendra Banhart, Discovery Zone, and Young Marco

Canadian twin sisters formerly known as Tasseomancy, Lightman & Lightman’s debut album Sister Smile Sister Smile draws upon themes of devotion, finding universal strands of beauty in the study of spiritual work.

Whale Songz Vol. 1 is a collection of songs by Olivia Barton and Annika Bennett, written by accident while dog sitting at their friend’s beach house in Oceanside, CA. They felt like middle schoolers at a sleepover, writing songs between making dance videos, eating whipped cream from the can, and crying to each other. Songs they first wrote off as a joke have grown into some of the most meaningful ones they’be written separately or together. This project continues to be a lesson in taking play seriously, cause at the end of the day the only difference between a demo and a recording is the title you give it. They recommend listening to Whale Songz Vol. 1 on a drive home from the beach after reading All Four’s by Miranda July.

Molly Parden didn’t chase music—it happened to her. Raised in Georgia in a big family where singing wasn’t the norm, she emerged as the lone artist, carving a quiet, distinct path from Atlanta to Nashville and now New York. Her songs shimmer with understated depth, her voice a balm for heartbreak, and her live shows balance poignant truths with dry, disarming humor. She’s equal parts heartache and levity, mystery and melody, offering a kind of private wisdom through every aching refrain.

Johanna Samuels, an LA-based songwriter, writes with clarity and compassion. Her album Excelsior! chronicles a journey back to self, tackling identity, miscommunication, and mutual understanding in relationships. With production by Josh Kaufman and a chorus of supportive womxn behind her, the record is both bold and tender.

The Westerlies, “an arty quartet…mixing ideas from jazz, new classical, and Appalachian folk” (NY Times), are a New York-based brass ensemble featuring Riley Mulherkar and Chloe Rowlands on trumpet, and Andy Clausen and Addison Maye-Saxon on trombone. From Carnegie Hall to Coachella, they navigate genres with the precision of a string quartet, the audacity of a rock band, and the charm of a family sing-along.

Formed in 2011 and named after the prevailing winds from west to east, the self-described “accidental brass quartet” blends jazz, chamber, roots, and folk music into a sound that’s both “folk-like and composerly, lovely and intellectually rigorous” (NPR Music). With a background in gospel, union songs, experimental jazz, and the modern American songbook, their genre-defying collaborations include Fleet Foxes, Haley Heynderickx, and Aoife O’Donovan.

This June, The Westerlies celebrate the release of their new album featuring special guests Sam Amidon and Aoife O’Donovan at Healing Force of the Universe in Pasadena.

Sam Weber is a Portland-based songwriter whose reputation precedes him. If you haven’t seen him in your town on one of his many extended tours, you might have seen his name on marquees beside or in liner notes as a songwriter on the next record. His songcraft is rivaled only by his musicianship, both disciplined enough to stun and feel effortless. He’s well-practiced at his trade, touring solo or with an ensemble domestically and abroad since 2013. His relentless output — now counting seven full-length records in his discography — has led to an examination of human existence, eternal in a fragmenting modern world. His latest LP, Shape Confused Cowboy Be You, pushes the boundaries of what it means to be a songwriter in the 21st century. He is a Scorpio.

With the addition of ethereal, shimmering atmospherics to her own style of writing, Fehler laid the groundwork for what would become Gold Child’s unique sound.

In combining musing lyrics and folk-y songcraft with an inclination toward experimental soundscapes on previous releases, Tripp has hit on a kind of tropical-folk yin to the yang of Gulf-&-Western artists more often associated with songs that evoke saltwater gallivanting.

Cedar Island Songs amplifies the strengths of 2021’s Fishing From Heaven, which Laney recorded with frequent collaborator, the multi-instrumentalist and multimedia artist, Jacob Cummings. For the new collection, Tripp and Cummings tapped musician and producer Benny Yurco, working out the songs at the experimental wizard’s Burlington, Vermont studio.

Whale Song: a Workshop is a response to and a decade of affectionate correspondence and collaboration between Daniela Gesundheit and bioacoustics researcher Katy Payne (Songs of the Humpback Whale). A trained musician, Katy listened to thousands of hours of recordings of humpback whale singing and found form where others heard noise. With Pink Dolphins as our sonic guardians, we will listen and vocalize together as we recreate a primary experience of the compositional techniques and structures at play in the humpbacks’ complex song.

The cool blue underwater feeling of Healing Force is the perfect stand-in ocean basin for apprenticing ourselves to the largest broadcasting mammals on the planet— humpback whales. As humpbacks simulcast their continuous composition, they listen attentively to their peers, incorporating the innovations that they hear around them into their shared, living song. Musicians especially geek out on what humpbacks are up to once they are privy. In this moment when deep, attuned listening is at a premium, what might we learn about group identity, innovation, and empathy from these marine masters?

Electroacoustic improvisation duo Pink Dolphins (Christina Marie Karr + Lillian Doyle) open, using keys and flutes to generate pre/post apocalyptic aural environments.

Kisskadee is the maximalist project of multi-instrumentalist Kasie Shahbaz. Her orchestral arrangements and strange time signatures break away from traditional songwriting limitations, keeping a lyrical, folklike sensibility. Elements of psychedelia and ambient chaos litter the records, while detailed imagery grounds the chaos with vivid detail. The album Black Hole Era uses the birth and death of the universe as a chronological allegory for childhood through adulthood. The record tracks our expanding circle of relationships as we age- first with mother, then with siblings, then with lovers. However, like the cosmos, as this circle expands, it is also dying. The record stands witness to the loss of childlike safety, and the lonely longing of adulthood.

On Max Bien Kahn’s latest album Flowers, you can hear him stretch the limits of his own pre-determinations in a way that feels historical and futuristic all the same—timeless and lived-in yet existing someplace beyond the folk bonafides that have long encapsulated Kahn’s off-kilter lilt. The songs get personal without losing his trademark brightness. He’ll always try to be funny about the things that are following him around, be it death, marriage, and whatever triumphs and tragedies fall somewhere in between.

Nick Stockton’s latest release, Martinis & Dexedrine, finds the native Californian singer/songwriter exploring a gentler, yet darker sound inspired as much by Laurel Canyon-style folk as it is the boozy classic honky tonk of past releases. Recorded in San Francisco, the EP finds the singer reuniting with former Midnight Sons bandmates and a handful of other fellow 2010s SF garage rock scene denizens. But make no mistake— the track bears little resemblance to the jangling drunken anthems of those days. Instead: a lilting country waltz where barroom piano meets warbling harmonica, bolstered by a two-stepping Spanish guitar. Soaring harmonies paired with Stockton’s measured croon evoke the haunted, crumbling California cityscapes and desolate country highways that serve as the songwriter’s inspiration.

While she mirrors the lyrical wit of Kimya Dawson and the stylistic sensibilities of Jackson Browne, Audrey II brings a whimsical flair that’s all her own.

Nicole Lawrence & The Durango House Band + Jenny O. live at G-SON Studios.

Nicole Lawrence is a sought-after musician who has toured globally with artists like Jenny Lewis, Coldplay, Devendra Banhart, and Bruce Springsteen. Known for her deft pedal steel and guitar work, she introduces her own voice on her debut solo LP, Time in Love. A blend of poetic wisdom and virtuosity, the album reflects themes of intimacy, relationships, and community, influenced by J.J. Cale, early Beck, and the societal commentaries of films and philosophy. Recorded live at Studio 606, it captures the raw energy of collaboration, marking Lawrence's evolution as both an artist and a person.

Jenny O. is a songwriter living in Los Angeles, California. Jenny’s first two albums Automechanic and Peace & Information were made with Jonathan Wilson. Spectra is her second album with Kevin Ratterman, following 2020’s New Truth. She has toured with legends like Sixto Rodriguez and Violent Femmes, contemporaries like Father John Misty and Faye Webster, and performed vocals on recordings by Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Conor Oberst, and Jim James.

G-SON served as The Beastie Boys recording studio and rehearsal space. In 1990, the musicians found this no-name studio that would give them the flexibility to try any crazy idea with the room to fail.
