Brad Rose is one of those artists who seems to have discovered extra hours in each day. He is prolific, not just producing new music both solo and in a variety of collaborations under a panoply of aliases, but he's also the curator and head content generator at The Jewel Garden and the Foxy Digitalis website. Cover image "borrowed" from the Artists Creative Fund website. Enjoy.

Our next summer spotlight is on Lucrecia Dalt. This Colombian artist exemplifies the long-running tagline of the show, "exploring the soft boundaries between experimental and pop music." Her work has been accompanied by artitst such as Gudrun Gut, Nicolás Jaar, and Aaron Dilloway, with whom she's collaborated on two albums. 2022 was a big year, with two soundtracks for the films The Seed and The Baby, and her RVNG Intl. album ¡Ay!  picked by The Wire as record of the year. Her follow up, A Danger to Ourselves, is due out on RVNG Intl. in September. Enjoy

So, I decided, a week or two too late perhaps, to make this a spotlight summer. What this means is, rather than our usual flow of brand new music, we would do pocket summaries of artists who've been putting out great work for some time and who've kept popping up in the show's playlists over the years. Nothing fancy, just fun. First up, Steven R. Smith. You can check out his bio and discography here at Worstward, which is also where the episode photo was 'borrowed' from. Enjoy.
