(Self-released, digital) Blending elements of Mexican folk music with American roots and indie rock, David Wax Museum have always stood out in an Americana scene.
David Wax Museum’s living room jams are just like yours – except when they invite over pals it’s people like multi-instrumentalist Alec Spiegelman (Okkervil River, Lake Street Dive) and Lucius drummer Dan Moland. Spiegelman co-produced the duo’s latest recorded-from-home album
Euphoric Ouroboric. Watch the 4-piece play songs from the album live and hear the full interview with WNRN’s Tad Abbey.

OBVIOUSLY, LET’S DIVE INTO THAT, YOU RECORDED IT A YEAR AGO, IN FEBRUARY RIGHT?
Mike Calabrese: Correct, we came home from the final day of recording and 5 days later it was lockdown.
WOW, WHAT WAS IT LIKE HAVING IT DONE RIGHT BEFORE THIS CRAZY TIME AND NOT HAVING IT OUT UNTIL NOW AND WAITING THROUGH THIS INSANE PERIOD?
MC: You put it well! We were glad to have gotten it done, A couple of days later, and we wouldn’t have the album for you, most likely. So that was good. I mean, sitting on it was tough, but amidst everything else that was tough, it paled in comparison. It’s something you work on for a long time and you want to release it. But at the same time we got into a mode where we were like, “how are we gonna make money? how are we gonna survive this?”
This past August, months into the COVID-19 lockdown, the Brooklyn-based musician Ana Egge heard from her friend, producer/songwriter Dick Connette, about collaborating on a song concerning the ongoing social upheaval. “I jumped in with both feet after our first conversation,” Egge explains. For her, it was an important way to use music to bring people together.
