Jenny Owen Youngs and I hit it off over local craft beers at Threes Brewing in Brooklyn. Having built a loyal fanbase by touring with punk rockers and performing online concerts in her apartment, Youngs explains why she used PledgeMusic to offer her fans an exclusive preorder of her latest EP, Slack Tide. Jenny also details how she has drawn inspiration from books, The X-Files, and in the case of her ongoing song series, Exhibit, regular visits to her favorite museums. jennyowenyoungs.com drypaintsigns.com

Jack Cleverly of the UK band Cymbals sits down with me in the bustling backyard of Crown Victoria in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Jack tells why he sings some songs in French, despite the fact that none of his bandmates speak the language. He also talks about recording their EP, Sideways Sometimes, on a boat, and how his wife has influenced his music. www.cymbalsmusic.com www.drypaintsigns.com |
