As Sioux Falls Falls So Falls Sioux Falls Falls

2021 | Rock, Experimental

“I do a lot of field recordings. All the sound samples were actually recorded in Sioux Falls or the surrounding area, so the birds are all local birds, it’s local water, it’s the Sioux Falls falls themselves. I’m just a weirdo on that. “

(Gertrude Simmons Bonnin)

The Sun Dance Opera

1913 | Classical

“I mean, have you ever met a Sioux woman who was not a strong woman? She was very determined in the things that she did. But in my opinion you need to look at the whole picture… That includes the opera, that was one part of it. But the speeches that she gave, the essays that she wrote, the campaigning that she did for rights and for justice — I think she was truly an amazing woman.”

Vidor

2020 | Pop, Experimental

“I didn’t want to completely fully address, sort of like, the actual complex situation of the race issues in Vidor and shit like that, but I still did want to, like, boil down the very essence of it as a whole, to where you’re listening to it and it doesn’t even matter what I’m saying, it’s just that it just sounds loud.”

To Love To Leave To Live

2019 | Folk, Rock

“My life is wacky and it’s good. It’s good. The wonderful little four-year-old who declared she wanted to be a singer when she grew up, she did it. I am a singer, and it’s been my occupation now for a long time. It’s misshapen but it’s wonderful.”

Fall Is a Good Time to Die

2015 | Folk

“Some of the songs were six years old, some of them were six months old, but they all kind of found each other, finally. I had this idea that I was building on over the course of other albums, like, songs that didn’t fit, but it turns out they kind of fit together with each other.“

Control

2020 | Pop

“I’ve got a handful of Moog synthesizers, and this new Arturia Drumbrute drum machine. I like to sync them all together, so I basically, at that point, just push a button and they all do their thing.”

Don’t Be a Hero (2017) & The Hero (2021)

Folk, Rock

“Those tracks, in his mind, would have never been released. I was so emotionally moved by them for all these years, that I felt really selfish not sharing.”

Dreams Grow Like Slow Ice

2018 | Classical, Experimental

“But for me, one of the fundamental questions is, how can you take this really, really old musical instrument from early in human history and make it relevant era, after era, after era?”

Traveling the Multiverse with Iktomi, Pt. 1: Coyote & Pt. 2: Owl

2020 | Hip Hop

“For me, this project is very spiritual, but not in the sense that it’s blind to reality.”
