Maya De Vitry's "How to Break a Fall" Track by Track, ep. 66

from Basic Folk · host The Bluegrass Situation

Maya De Vitry, formerly of The Stray Birds, quietly released one of the best records of the year on March 13, How To Break a Fall. She goes through the album track by track with us on Basic Folk. The record ranges in sound from gauzy beauties, to sick grooves to jagged rock bangers. There are a lot of themes on this record like celebrating women and reclaiming your own self and your body. It fully acknowledges past traumas in unique metaphors. The song "Baking Bread for the Circus" is a song about survival in an abusive situation: the circus being the show, where there is darkness behind the stage. The bread is whatever you need to do to survive the circus. Maya breaks down this and all the tracks in this insightful and entertaining conversation. Maya is one of my favorite people and musicians: everything she creates and says totally blows me away. I'm so glad to get her back on the podcast. If you haven't listened to Maya's first appearance on Basic Folk, make sure you go back to episode 11. I just want you to be as obsessed with Maya De Vitry as I am. Listen on and I guarantee you'll be all about this amazing person.THis show is part of the American Songwriter Podcast Network. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Explicit All Ears with Abigail Disney Abigail Disney Abigail has a new documentary, The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales, in which she examines the inequality crisis through the lens of the company her grandfather helped found, The Walt Disney Company. In the film, she asks how it is possible that so many workers at Disneyland, aka “the happiest place on earth,” can’t afford life's basic necessities, even when they work full time. For the fourth season of All Ears, Abigail poses that question to people who are doing the most Disney thing of all–using their imaginations–in this case to rethink capitalism. She talks with business leaders, union organizers, and economists to learn how they would fix our broken economy. Explicit
