The latest episode of our local music podcast The Infinite Loop features terrific local talent Tania Bowers, who as Via Tania recently released her second album, Moon Sweet Moon. The charming full-lenth is the result of a significant time spent abroad chasing her sound, as uncovered in this week’s profile. Bowers recently visited our State and Jackson headquarters for an interview and recording, in which she discussed her role as a makeup artist on Califone’s feature-length film All My Friends Are Funeral Singers and how the moon was essential to her youth in Australia. Best of all, she played two lovely tunes on her tenor ukulele, including “How Come,” on which she teases a gorgeous call and response effect from a lo-fi cassette recorder. It’s breathtaking, and may be the most intimate Infinite Loop performance yet. Hear it for yourself.
