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.

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

"Fair Aegis" turns drone into the primer for the painting, adding brushstrokes of sax and synth that play at the speakers like light through the trees in Knudsen's upstate NY surroundings. The piece raises from the canvas to the canopy, echoing out over the mountains. bit.ly/3VFZgm0

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.
