R. Stevie Moore


R. Stevie Moore is an underground legend. An incredibly prolific and creative songwriter and musician, Moore has self-released over 400 albums since his classic debut Phonography, from 1976. He invited BOMBsessions into his home for a couple of songs.

RANGDA: No Belief in No System

Named after a Balinese witch goddess, Rangda is three-headed beast of a band. Ben Chasny, Sir Richard Bishop, and jazz/noise/whatever genius drummer Chris Corsano have teamed up to blow minds with their debut album, False Flag. As Chasny says, koan-like: “No belief. No system. Not even the belief that there is no belief.” The Witch-Queen speaks. Hark.

Sharon Van Etten

Singer and songwriter Sharon Van Etten is a rising star possessed of a remarkable, arresting voice. Emotive without being naïve, Sharon’s music, like her personality, is wise beyond its years. Watch the latest BOMBsession, a performance and interview with Sharon.

Homemade Gold: Michael Yonkers


Michael Yonkers’ newly reissued 1977 lost classic Lovely Gold is a mystifying and beautiful record, all recorded on a hand-built, “four-channel, tube-type,” machine. Yonkers was kind enough to answer some questions for BOMBlog from his home in Minneapolis.

Wingdale Community Singers, “Willing Sense of Disbelief”

wingdale VIDEO! The moniker Wingdale Community Singers provides some cover of anonymity over its members who, like members of a small-town church choir, came together for the simple purpose of singing out loud. Composers David Grubbs and Hannah Marcus, writer Rick Moody and artist Nina Katchourian, along with bassist Elissa Moser Linowes, are all highly acclaimed in their respective fields. BOMBsessions caught up with the group at Marcus’ Brooklyn apartment on a windy Fall night. With Mr. Grubbs regrettably busy teaching at Brooklyn College, the remaining members of the band performed the song “Willing Sense of Disbelief.”

Robert Greene

Sometimes the picture slips, another digital delay, unraveling momentarily into slithering horizontal bands across the flat TV screen. Take Robert Greene’s bucolic fields populated with pals, poodles, and picnic fare suddenly cleared to monochromatic fields of texture. A lot has changed for the artist and New York since Greene first took a seat in his Corinthian backed Fornasetti chair with BOMB in 1989.
