Bartees Strange on World Cafe
As a kid, Bartees Strange would watch scary movies in an attempt to conquer fear. On his new album, Horror, the Baltimore-based musician embraces the many facets of that emotion. Bartees Strange joins us on the next World Cafe to talk about crafting Horror, from working with Jack Antonoff, to writing about stability and being a Black musician in the predominantly white indie-rock sphere.
Noeline Hofmann on World Cafe
Noeline Hofmann grew up in Alberta, spending time herding cattle as a ranch hand. The 21-year-old singer-songwriter has a gift for conveying the imagery of the rugged West in songs like “Purple Gas”. Coming up, Noeline Hofmann joins World Cafe to talk about what being a ranch hand has in common with writing songs, and we’ll hear live performances recorded in studio.
