I don’t know shit about making music or playing instruments but this thing looks very nice, sounds incredibly smooth and seems to be wonderfully clever.

what a delightful surprise
I love it when bands put together playlists of their influences and inspiration for a given period of time. It always reveals some surprising choices and some delightful combinations.
I recently tasked Talking with Hands and Telefone with putting together their own distinct playlists for this exact purpose. It acts as a nice promo for their recent releases but it's also just interesting. I'm very pleased with the results and I think you will be too.

Talking with Hands - Influensa
The Pastiche EP is an intentional tribute to influentials. Songs like "Lucky" were written to sound like Smashing Pumpkins. It's an homage! So, it's rather delightful to hear what other music influenced the project. Seeing Prince, AIR and Cornelius in one playlist was all the evidence I needed that I was in the right place.

Telefone -
Telefone Ring
Mac Burrus, of Telefone, has been sending music for literal decades.. so I knew that a mix of influences for a band he is a part of would be great. I'm happy to report, I was right! Jon Brion, Aimee Mann, Komeda and The Posies all mixing it up together? Yes, please. Go listen to the mix and then listen to the Telefone record.

I'd also like to note that I made the artwork for both mixes primarily with Midjourney. I know there's a lot of conversation to be had around the creative economy and how AI is impacting that but it's hard for me to deny the power of a tool that can conjure such compelling images with just a little creative prompting.
