AUGUST FAVORITES
Gep
ALBUM: Mixed Bag - Richie Havens
“It’s a perfect album the entire way through. My boyf bought the album when he was back home so we’ve been listening to it together and I think that association adds to my love for it.”
LIFE: “Since it’s been unbearably hot lately, I’ve been appreciating the coolness of the early mornings and evenings by going on long walks and listening to albums in full. I’ve been reading a lot of books. Started my first Vonnegut book yesterday…I’ve also recently become a plant parent to Fran, my beautiful monstera deliciosa.”
Ben
ALBUM: Blackbox Life Recorder 21f - Aphex Twin
“He’s back with 4 new bangers 😻”
LIFE: “I have been enjoying playing pickleball, instructing late-night yoga with Matteo, and opening my recording studio!”
Maggie
SONG: The Clutch - Palehound
“El is a guitar powerhouse and I loveeee the descending riff in the chorus. Makes me wanna raise my hands worship-style and scream. I am such a sucker for crunchy guitar”
LIFE: I have begun crocheting a bunch of hats to sell on tour in an effort to clear out my yarn for my next project: my first sweater :0. I’m excited to work with cotton yarn for the first time. Do any knitters/crocheters read this substack? Sound off in the comments if so….also been loving eating pomegranate seeds.
HUMMING BIRD RECORDINGS
Hell yep…..Ben, and his bestie Evan, have finally opened their studio, Humming Bird Recordings. I think I can speak on behalf of the rest of Lunar by saying that it’s been such a pleasure to watch this space blossom! They are open for business, head to their website to book something.
