Off the Shelf

Our latest Off the Shelf guests are Dublin duo Varo, featuring Consuelo Nerea Breschi and Lucie Azconaga. In this series, we ask artists to present objects from a shelf or shelves in their homes and discuss them, a form of storytelling through objects. Varo recently released their highly anticipated new album, The World That I Knew, featuring some of the biggest names in Ireland’s contemporary folk and trad scene.

Our latest Off the Shelf guest is Fletcher Tucker, whose new album, Kin, is out next week on Gnome Life Records. Tucker shares some special objects from his home on the unceded Esselen tribal lands now known as Big Sur, California–From Jaime de Angulo, one of Big Sur’s wildest heart-minds, to wild incense and a trusty ultralight rucksack for wild camping, this one is pretty special.

Best known for his loosely conceptual 1972 psychedelic folk classic Dreaming with Alice, Normandy-based English singer-songwriter and painter Mark Fry is our latest ‘Off the Shelf’ guest – a form of storytelling through objects. His selections capture that painter’s eye detail as he recalls distant memories with beautiful clarity. It’s an excellent read. Mark’s new album, ‘Not on the Radar’, is out now on Second Language.

meka is Melissa Lingo, an American multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter. She is our latest ‘Off the Shelf’ guest, a series where we ask artists to present objects from their homes and talk about them. Her latest album, The Rabbit (out tomorrow on Dumont Dumont), is profoundly shaped by her experience of living with chronic illness, transforming hardship into tender yet illuminating songs that balance grief and hope.
