Explores the intersections of music and literature, community building, and the creative process with episodes like Bear Vs. Shark examining the unique soundscapes and community influences in the band’s performances, and other episodes focusing on innovative ways artists interact with their environments.
Spare Notes is a music-based podcast featuring conversations with indie musicians that explore the ins and outs of the internal, artistic process. Hosted by music journalist Jonah Evans, each week sees new artists join the conversation to discuss topics ranging from artistic influences to the role mental health plays in art and music.
Art begins before it’s created. This is Spare Notes.
Curiosity, Relationships, Grief, Family, Hope—all these things are baked into the artist’s brain before they play a single note, before they paint a single brushstroke or create something that is a passive or intentional expression of themselves. No artist’s path of experience is the same as another. This segment is Portrait of the Artist, where the artist is interviewed about their path and about their art.
In this episode Jonah talks to Kelsea Feder, also known as Blums. Her amazing debut album, Sunk Cost Fantasy is out on Take Care Records as of August 7th. It’s a collage, it’s theatrical, it’s a soundscape, it’s a pop record, and it’s a rush of complex emotions and experiences that are sonically explosive. Blums has an extensive background in theater and film, and she has a pop music influence—these show on the record.
Jonah and Feder talk about her background, resilience, personal memory vs art, evolution as an artist, the stakes of relationships, and how Sunk Cost Fantasy came to be this emotive amalgamation of her experiences and reflections.
