As the cacti begin blooming and summer draws closer, we’re placing the spotlight on Angel Olsen. Her unforgettable vocal melodies and memory-conjuring arrangements are the right soundtrack for a time of year when the best of yesterday is laying the foundation for tomorrow’s laughter, heartache, and everything else worth singing about. Along the way, enjoy a little Philly soul via Kingston, brand-new takes on Woody Guthrie, and much more.
Thank you to our friend, desert dweller, and talented musician Andy Gassaway for guest curating this season’s playlist!
Featured Artist: Angel Olsen
This season’s playlist is timed both with the new moon and the first of the Saguaro blooms. 🌵🌼🌚🎶 We hope you love this guest curated playlist as much as we do! Follow along with Angel Olsen @angelolsenmusi
About the New Moon Playlist
On the New Moon, the earth, moon, and sun align making us unaware of the moon’s presence in the sky. Without the visual presence and glow of the moon, other celestial bodies typically hidden now shine brighter. Our chances of seeing the sky clearly are heightened on this day, making it a day of clarity and new beginnings. Creatively it’s the perfect time to set intentions for a new cycle of dreams and goals, and ways of manifesting them.
To honor this monthly opportunity for fresh starts and creative beginnings, we’ve asked our friend and musician we admire, Andy Gassaway, to guest curate our spring seasonal New Moon Spotify playlist.
Follow The Joshua Tree House on Spotify and be the first to hear new playlists. Last season’s New Moon Spotify Playlist featured artist Riddy Arman.
