Ep. 282 w/ Cucina Povera and Ov Pain

Cucina Povera is the moniker of Glasgow-based sound artist Maria Rossi. We're enamoured with their sublime and haunting experimentations in voice and field recordings, which have been captured on labels like Offen Music, Editions Mego, mappa, and Night School. They share an hour of works from dear friends around the world.

Their recent album The Churning Blue of Noon is, in our opinion, one of the more urgent and essential releases of the past year. We're excited to share an hour of weird and genre defying music that has soundtracked their lives in recent years.
