Gray Days and Gold, July 2023
Hello, friends. The summer’s high, a warm July, the haze from wildfires chokes and discolors the sky, and I just called to say: new show’s up! Gray Days and Gold returns with another hand-picked, ad-free, hour of the most interesting, tuneful, genre-defying, contemporary artists to catch my attention this month. No login or subscription required…just press play and enjoy.
You can listen to this episode via the embedded player just below in this post—if you don’t see it, try turning off your ad-blocker then reloading the page—or on the Mixcloud website, via the Mixcloud mobile app, on your Sonos system, etc.
There’s also a more barebones iteration of this episode’s playlist (minus my commentary, as well as tracks ) on Spotify and Apple Music.
