Duane Betts has shared a gorgeous acoustic duo rendition of “Colors Fade,” a standout track originally released in its full band version on his 2023 debut album, Wild & Precious Life.
“Johnny Stachela and I recorded this in the study of my dad’s house as he listened down the hall while we played. For that reason alone, it’s a very special memory. I think you can hear the magic we were feeling.” - Duane Betts

The Means of Production, six of Brooklyn’s most captivating subterranean improvisers, have released their self-titled, debut LP. As psych outlet of record @ravensingstheblues recently noted, “...sparkling with heady hues and pristine curves.”
Comprised by Matt Gibbs, Ben Pirani, Tre D’Ambrocia, Rafferty Swink, Pat Carr and Jay Mumford, their histories weave through credits of artists like Evolfo, Sinkane, Lizzie No, Ralph Weeks and Madlib.
Initially formed to back Ben Pirani, The Means would forge a tight musical bond over the ensuing years of touring, rehearsing and embracing ‘60s no edits style recording sessions for Pirani’s @coleminerecords’ output.
A natural evolution took place as the kinetic chemistry between the 6 members led to free-form musical experimentation. The Means began to explore the farthest reaches of their connection. Those urgent instrumental takes became what sits before you - a genre-defying kaleidoscope of electric jazz, psych and soul, reverberating through their own telepathic transmissions.
Indeed, The Means can be described as nothing less than “the raw and adventurous sound of NOW.”
Available now on LP + Digital. Link in bio. 👁️🪬👁️

Here’s to #thegoodlife 🌺 @lesliemendelson’s latest single is out now at all the spots - go listen!
“Singer/songwriter Leslie Mendelson shines a little light and love out into the world, toasting to ‘The Good Life’ in a new timeless classic – a tender, heartfelt, and golden-hued song...” - @atwoodmagazine 💫
“I’m a huge fan of ‘70s country music like Waylon Jennings, Glen Campbell, Kris Kristofferson, etc. and I think this song’s lyric and feel evoke that era. We have the legendary Waddy Wachtel on guitar and Jim Keltner on drums and the amazing Derrick Anderson on bass driving it home. I hope you can hear and feel the joy in the room when we recorded it.“ - Leslie Mendelson ☀️
