This show is about many things but it is particularly about musicians doing something truly unique. Mason Lindahl's music is extremely beautiful and unusual and twisted, and it’s not a hyperbole to say he does things with his guitar that others don’t or can’t do – stylistically and imaginatively. It’s also hard to fully understand at times. It’s one of the reasons his new album Joshua Same Day Walking as well as Kissing Rosy in the Rain are two of my all-time favourites.
Mason dials in via NYC to chat about why instrumental music can communicate just as much as lyrics, what an instrument can do or be if you remove the expectations for it, the relationship between control and freedom when performing complex music live, and why the saddest song in the world can also be the happiest one.
