The trailblazing artist, electronics instrumentalist, composer, and producer Yuka C Honda, has made a career of making music that doesn’t necessarily subscribe to rules and genres. Widely known for her band Cibo Matto, Yuka's career now spans over three decades. Carmel Holt sat down with Yuka at Wilco's Solid Sound festival in June to discuss her journey thus far, and her brand new EP under her moniker eucademix, Farm Psychedelia, released just before performing at Solid Sound.

Dan Deacon’s newest score, for the HBO dog-grooming documentary Well Groomed, follows the release of his fifth studio album Mystic Familiar and is the latest addition to his collaborative repertoire which includes soundtracks for films Rat Film, Time Trial, and Francis Ford Coppola’s Twixt, as well as works with the NYCBallet, LAPhil, and Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Well Groomed immerses the viewer in the colorful and surreal subculture of competitive creative dog grooming, a world where prizes are awarded transforming dogs into flamboyant living art objects. The lighter tone and largely upbeat subject matter of the documentary offered Deacon an opportunity to compose with more playful tones and organic instrumentation not usually found in his work such as vibraphone, guitar, and piano. From Vangelis-inspired soundscape to Krautrock-influenced anthems, the Well Groomed soundtrack channels the ecstatic energy of Deacon’s legendary live shows more than any of his film work to date.
