Contact Wave: Spirituals
11.19.23
Contact Wave enthusiastically celebrates the best experimental, avant-garde, psychedelic, and off-the-grid music crafted in L.A. and beyond.
This week’s episode of Contact Wave features an in-depth conversation with Spirituals, AKA Jackson, Mississippi-based musician Tyler Tadlock.
Leaning heavily on a personal library of found sounds, voice memos, and virtual instruments, Spirituals reorders the chaos of everyday life into cohesive compositions, treating music as spiritual medicine––a kind of therapy for the soul in difficult times.
We discuss, among other things, the fantastic new Spirituals album Innards – which is also the name of the Jackson studio where this interview took place. (Photo credit: Krisha Amit Pandit)
