I spoke with Southern California Latin trans avant-folk/post-punk artist Cime about her upcoming album 'Laurels of the End of History,' which is out on streaming on August 18th. It's her follow-up to last year's 'The Independence of Central American Remains an Ongoing Experiment,' which we spoke about last spring. 'Laurels' builds on the freak-folk and nueva canción latinoamericana roots established in her debut while adding elements of noise rock and post-hardcore.

S4E1 - aa & tyr
Kicking off Season 4 of I Hate Music strong by interviewing my friend Morgan for the fourth time - this time about her project aa & tyr! Earlier this year, she released 'Echo Sun All Bliss,' a maximalist, sprawling psychedelic/glitch pop/post rock/who knows what else project telling the stories of two futuristic archivists searching for identity in a world dominated by information (I'm not doing the narrative justice, go listen to the album). Tune in to hear us talk about “chain-smoking albums,” the significance of the last word in Beowulf, and why she retired the space cadet moniker.
Echo Sun All Bliss is out now on all streaming services and available for purchase on Bandcamp.
