Recently Featured: Adam LaMotte


A watercolor by Adam LaMotte

I've known Adam a long time - I first met him after jamming with his brother sometime in 2002. We played a couple of Radiohead songs together way back when. Adam and I would eventually play in a band together in high school.

For as long as I have known him, Adam has spent much of his time writing and recording music. Even early on, he demonstrated an uncanny ability to make pop music, and I don't use that word lightly - uncanny. It's actually kind of freaky/scary how good his music is sometimes. Plus, his music just keeps developing.

His output lately has been astounding. I was obsessed with his last album, Humans Want Wrong. I even made a music video for one of the songs off of that record. Now, Adam has a new record out called "Wild Pursuits," a collection of songs I can't recommend enough. We were fortunate enough on the show the other day to get a phone call from Adam. He played us a couple of songs. A recording of one of those songs is today's audio goodie:
