a weekend @ evanston folk fest
@amelia.moseman (words)@colekincart (photos) If I were a painter, I’d take out my brush and get to work on a John Lewis Krimmel style genre painting of Evanston Folk Festival, complete with sunny skies and rejoicing amongst the people. I’d capture the grandeur of the simplicity, exhibited in the liveliness of the crowds and the beauty…

modern cults @ schubas
@victoriaaspurez I went to Schubas in July to see the album release show for band Modern Cults.

The vocals…

greer @ bottom lounge
@victoriaaspurez Last Wednesday at Bottom Lounge—so many people squeezed into that small space—and Greer filled it easily. By the time they hit the stage, the crowd was loud and excited. The band was loose, playful—just genuine back-and-forth banter and a feeling like you were hanging out with the band. Most of the night for me…

she’s green @ cobra lounge
@amelia.moseman photo courtesy of @nickwantstoniconico Minneapolis’ she’s green makes music that feels like watching light spill across your bedroom. It’s slow, immersive and a bit phantasmic. Somewhere between slowcore, shoegaze and noise-pop (what even are words at this point), the band filters big emotions through hazy shredding and daydream vocals. Zofia Smith leads the quintet…

The Weather Station @ Lincoln Hall
@victoriaaspurez The Weather Station performed on Thursday, April 11th, at Lincoln Hall, on tour for their seventh studio album, Humanhood.

I listened to the album shortly after it came out in…
