FFFoxy Podcast #263 is now available. On this episode, we dig into the work of the Minneapolis-based record label, Tern and Crow. After being in bands and releasing music for over a decade, primarily in his instrumental experimental rock duo Falcon Arrow, Matt Reints decided to start up Tern and Crow in 2020 as a means to help some of the artists and bands he admired release their music on a physical format. In its five years of operation, Tern and Crow have put out fifteen releases that cover different styles of rock, pop, and folk music, but are bound by a certain distinctive sense of experimentation and heaviness. Their latest release is a label compilation called Tern and Crow: 5 Years of Whatever, featuring previously unreleased music from the currently active bands on the label’s roster.
This past week, I had a chance to speak with Matt, and we discussed the motivations behind starting Tern & Crow, the significance of physical media in fostering connections, the exciting activity happening within the current Twin Cities music scene, the details surrounding the latest compilation release, the origins and evolution of Falcon Arrow, and much more. You’ll hear that interview in three different segments throughout the show, along with track selections from all of the releases from the Tern and Crow catalog to date. Hope you enjoy!
