Harper Mahood is a freelance journalist living in London. Originally from Portland, Oregon, her work focuses on underground and experimental music. She is inspired by good books, the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest and DIY culture.
Colleen — French composer Cécile Schott — talks to Harper Mahood about Libres antes del final, her new Thrill Jockey album written and recorded on a Moog Matriarch. With water flowing through it like an undercurrent, Schott reflects on overcoming a 30-year fear of swimming, the DIY life she’s built, and the loss of her father two days before release.
In conversation with Harper Mahood, Barry Walker Jr. talks about “Paleo Sol,” his Thrill Jockey debut — a record born from new age lullabies, ancient oxidised soils, and dark forces banging on the door. “I want people to look past the horizon and try to break the material veil that we’re all living in.”
