Today I am joined by Blake Luley, a songwriter who releases music as Rainwater. I first came across Rainwater’s album “Saturn Return” shortly after it was released on Furious Hooves, the label that also released my own album Sisyphean a few years ago. As it turns out, Luley and I shared another connection, as he used to play in the bands Howth and Air Waves in Brooklyn, NY. These days Luley lives in Seattle where in addition to writing music he works as an elementary school teacher. Rainwater’s most recent album “In-Between” came out on August 13th and it trades in the more ornate production of “Saturn Return” for a more insular take on Luley’s soft rock inspired sound. This seemingly chill aesthetic serves as the backdrop for a group of sounds grappling with grief and anxiety. Luley and I had a great conversation about the album, becoming a father, finding new music in your 30s and much more.
