The organ is the most physical instrument.
The sheer weight of it creates a panoply of sound beyond the notes. The cracking and groaning of wood and metal, the click of pedals, the rattling of the pipes as bellowing low notes expand and contract like magma.
Forged in the crucible of grief, The Weight of the World uses the organ as a channeler of catharsis and dread. Vocalist Erika Sirola and composer Murrettumeri traveled across Europe and play in some of the most resonant churches on the continent to capture sacred sound. A mixture of modern classical and holy minimalism, The Weight of the World is an unearthly beauty that evolves from abyssal dread to a shimmering, ever present hope. We talked with them below.

Andrew Sa: Woodhouse Interviews
It’s hard to balance tenderness and horniness.
Lean too far into the former and everything becomes saccharine and safe. The latter and you dash all chances for sweeping romance. Fuse the two within music, especially country music, and you’ve created something special.
And Andrew Sa certainly has with his solo debut American Rough. A lush, thrilling, queer country album obsessed with love, American Rough is one of the finest debuts in recent memory. It’s flooded with cinematic moments, perfectly arranged horns, and Sa’s out-of-time croon. We talked to him here on the Woodhouse.

Jordan Day: Woodhouse Interview
Metal and Country have more in common than you think. Like the void.
The darkness at the center of Townes Van Zandt is the same consuming abyss that fuels Xasthur. Jordan Day knows that better than anyone. A metal guitarist at first, he’s now dedicated his art to old school, outlaw country plunging into the depths of the soul. His newest Learning to be Empty includes features from metal fiddle player Charlie Anderson and comes out on bluegrass/metal fusionist Panopticon’s label. We talked to him about the record below.
