Julianna Barwick creates elegant vocal arrangements that your mother would probably enjoy. These are the songs you heard in your dreams as a child, coming back to haunt your cluttered life (I’m projecting) and clean things up a bit. She stopped by the Porch to talk about her Louisiana upbringing, going to Cali, and of course her angelic voice.

Matt Mehlan, the brain-trust behind NYC’s Skeletons, has been reinventing his band on each successive release for a few years now making each album stand assuredly apart from the one before it. So it is no surprise that his latest concoction, Money (which came out a few moons back), has an all new array of comforting chaos with the occasional pop gem snuck in to regulate. Matt came by the Porch to talk about such things as rats in the city, Ghostbusters, and moneymoneymoney.
