Callers - BTR Live Studio [ep167]
Originating in New Orleans and currently based half in Brooklyn and half in Providence, RI, Callers is a group with strong convictions and creative musicianship. Their latest, Reviver, is said to be “a statement on power, rhythm, beauty and language, and an exploration of inner vastness.” In the process of crafting the LP, Keith Souza and Seth Manchester went from collaborating in the studio to joining the band, adding more support to the already complex songwriting and orchestrations of Sara Lucas and Ryan Seaton. Not a band beholden to any particular genre, Callers often incorporate shades of Fleetwood Mac, Dirty Projectors, and all the art rock, motown, experimental punk, and world music in between.
Featured song: “Your Finest”
Reviver is out now on Partisan Records.

Emily Wells - BTR Live Studio [ep123] (by btrlivestudio)
Blurring the lines between genres, Emily Wells is a New York-based musician who channels hip-hop, synth rock, pop and even classical music. Her songs are at once sentimental, hypnotizing and electrifying. Though she’s been dubbed a hybrid of Nina Simone, Biggie Smalls and Bob Dylan, on stage Wells offers her own uniquely impressive one-woman show, playing a number of instruments and looping them live throughout her entire set. Here she performs a brand new song called “Come To Me.” /// Featured song: “Come To Me” /// Mama, the latest album by Emily Wells, is out via Partisan Records. /// Complete radio broadcast and playlist: http://bit.ly/JLxtq1 /// Official website: http://www.emilywellsmusic.com /// Twitter: @emilywellsmusic
“Breakdown on the Beach” by Holy Sons - BTR Live Studio [ep69] (by btrlivestudio)
Holy Sons is the one-man project of Portland’s Emil Amos. The multi-instrumentalist plays raw, lo-fi indie rock, and remains relatively enigmatic, despite having released music under the Holy Sons moniker for the past two decades and having played with bands like Om, Dolorean, and Grails. Amos’ introspective nature and penchant for obscurity, give his music an added haunted, mysterious quality. /// Holy Sons’ latest album, Survivalist Tales!, is available now through Partisan Records. /// Complete radio broadcast and playlist: http://bit.ly/vAM92x /// Official website for Holy Sons: http://holysons.com/
