Ball of Wax 67 Songs: Ainara LeGardon & Ignacio Córdoba – “Noski”
Ainara LeGardon has brought us a wide range of sounds over the years, from pensive acoustic guitar-based songs to blistering rock, as well as more experimental fare that might challenge the listener’s definition of what constitutes music, or a song. … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 67 Songs: autOaudiO – “Cardinal Points”
[Editor’s note: In continuing our quest to become a complete cultural ourobouros, it seemed like the best way to cover this autOaudiO cover of a Virgin of the Birds song is for our own Jon Rooney (who wrote the song) … Continue reading

Ball of Wax 67 Songs: Mt Fog – “Sunny Afternoon”
Walking down the street on a sunny afternoon, singing this happy walking song, I was hoping . . . The keyboard music follows along; watching, listening, commenting on my mood — I catch glimpses of it like a mountain materializing … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 67 Songs: Spinster – “Wait Alone”
Though you bear the weight alone You are not alone Like a well-crafted short poem, Spinster’s “Wait Alone” expresses so much within its brief form. Twice repeated lines echo against somber, lo-fi instrumentation then fade out. An undefined isolation folds … Continue reading

Ball of Wax 67 Songs: Alejandro Magaña Aviña – “Postales”
Alejandro Magaña Aviña, who first came our way via the TELEPHONE project, has returned with a brief, yet cinematically evocative orchestral piece. “Postales” (whose title translates to “Postcards”) appropriately calls to mind a series of images, packing quite a few … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 67 Songs: Triskaideka – “Red Blue”
Tinty guitars, Western fanfare, brilliant dissonance, church organ lines, and an all out epic build up. This song plays a bit like an old western silent movie in black and white. Except, with electric guitars and organs. The song has … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 67 Songs: Tite Nauts – “Gender Reveal Party”
“Gender Reveal Party” is my introduction to Tite Nauts. I’m drawn to the attitude, sarcasm, and drive of the band and this jam. “Gender Reveal Party” tackles a rather odd ritual for which many partake in today’s modern society. Rituals, … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 67 Songs: Spritle – “Let Me Eat Cake”
Our newish friend Bryan Brophy has brought us something completely different for Ball of Wax 67 – a blistering, blown-out stack of heavy guitars and drum machines produced under the moniker Spritle. This is perfect Friday-afternoon-at-the-end-of-a-completely-fucking-ridiculous-week music, which is appropriate … Continue reading
