HELLO PORTLAND! Dear Readers, I’ve had a lot on the mind of late. Intention. Passion.

Disengagement. My own interpretations of success and failure. What’s next? Ideas that have been swirling through my head with a rollercoaster of emotions over the past two weeks I’ve spent on the road with Boone Howard and some of my other dearest friends.

The crescendo of our trip was in Boise, Idaho at Treefort Music Fest, where my immune system finally stopped fighting my poor decisions. Willing myself out of an exhausted, feverstate late on a Saturday night to play back-to-back sets with Boone and Aan at The Olympic, I came to the conclusion that I’m right where I want to be. Chasing dreams that might not be entirely tangible or even understandable to some, but taking solace in being fortunate enough to pursue my own passions, and to live, albeit modestly, with intention.

Anyway, I hope you’ll enjoy this month’s issue featuring a handful of artists that particularly move me. Here’s to doing you and not looking back.

Dutifully yours,

- Travis Leipzig, Managing Editor

KADHJA BONET APRIL 9 | WONDER BALLROOM

LA-based singer-songwriter Kadhja Bonet–pronounced “kod-ya”–will effortlessly lure you into her cosmic musical world of classical and jazz influences and seductive vocals.

Her soft, romantic vocal style and use of wind and string instruments is reminiscent of music you might imagine hearing in a European café. She takes soulful and sultry energy from jazz and seamlessly ties it in with theatrical elements.

Bonet’s formal training in classical music, violin and viola is apparent through the thoughtful production of her album, The Visitor, out last October on Fat Possum Records and Fresh Selects, two respected labels that represent different genres of blues and indie. It is clear Bonet’s knowledge of classical music helps build her musical foundation, even while she remains a difficult artist to pin to one genre.

It’s hard to say where or when you are on first listen; past, present, future, or another world completely? What is certain

is that it’s nearly impossible not to feel at ease, letting the music transport you from one mood to the next, as if moving along with the narrative of an expressive film–from catharsis to satisfaction to calm.

Orchestral flutes, violins, and other wind and string instruments appear prominently throughout The Visitor to enhance the beauty of Bonet’s delicate vocals. Bonet oozes of sophistication, applying an organic, back-to-basics mindset that makes for a revitalizing musical experience. » - Kelsey Rzepecki

Among its growing resumé entrees, Twin Peaks has opened for Wavves. When a band can pull that off, it means there are certain things about the music you can count on.

First, the group likely recorded their debut album with Garageband. Second, their subject matter deliberates on a perpetual state of being stuck between adolescence and adulthood. Twin Peaks may seem like an everyman’s garage rock band, but that’s an oversimplification on the spectrum of lo-fi rock, because everyone has to start somewhere.

Their live show may not be as calamitous as those of the two aforementioned bands, but being in the same echelon definitely counts for something. Last year’s Down in Heaven was Twin Peaks’ most pronounced album to date, pushing toward indie and power pop and broadening the songs. Sure, some of the tunes are sung in the same feline yowl that too

HOMESHAKE APRIL 13 | MISSISSIPPI STUDIOS

Get yourself a sexy dose of reality via Homeshake. It’s the brainchild and alternative persona of Peter Sagar, and he’s currently touring behind his third studio album, Fresh Air. Sagar played guitar in Mac DeMarco’s touring band for a few years until 2013 when he decided to focus on his solo project.

Sagar’s first two albums (In the Shower and Midnight Snack) tell the story of a young man discovering his dream girl and pursuing her. Those drug-fueled, lustful

ALEX WILEY APRIL 27 | HOLOCENE

Alex Wiley established his underground bona fides relatively soon after he decided to start rapping. A collaboration with Kembe X in 2012, Can I Borrow A Dollar EP, put Wiley on the map. And after the two put out “Don’t Quit” in 2013, it was only a matter of time before he had other name-drop-worthy conspirators like Chance the Rapper and Action Bronson in his court.

Wiley hails from Chicago, which seems to be a veritable birthing ground for rappers changing the shape of the game, so it comes as no real surprise that his early mixtapes showcased an engaging flow with a keen ear for soul-sampling beats.

His first full-length mixtape, Club Wiley (2013), featured several notable collab tracks with Chance, Kembe X, Vic Mensa and Freddie Gibbs, to name a few. Wiley grinds his way through the tracks with a quick tongue and a playfulness that never skews into cynicism. 2014’s Village Party saw Wiley prowl his way through slightly more industrial beats, once again connecting with a few guests, but showing he was more than capable of carrying some bangers on his own.

Since Village Party, Wiley has released four more mixtapes, including Village Party II and 2017’s Village Party III: Stoner Symphony, a collaborative project with producer Mike Gao. Village Party III is a haze of liquid beats with Wiley substituting his typically sharp tongue in favor of an oozy, oily delivery.

While it’s a departure from the sound most fans recognize, it demonstrates his breadth and ability as an artist–much of which apparently remains untapped. » - Charles Trowbridge

QUICK TRACKS A “CREEPIN'” Off of 2013’s Club Wiley, “Creepin’” gives a taste of the early vigor that gained Wiley his early following– not to mention a nasty verse from Freddie Gibbs.

B “PASS IT TO ME” From Village Party III, this track is a stripped down vocal feature for both Wiley and Kembe X over a dripping beat.

yields the outward criticism and directs it inward to give us her most personal account yet.

Chaos By Invitation begins with the vulnerable confession “In Motion,” a synth-powered and dreamy track that asks, “How can I hold on when everything’s in motion?” It sets the tone for everything to follow, which chronicles a detached being confronting betrayal, distance and change. Each of the album’s 11 songs showcases the vulnerabilities exposed when taking a risk on human connection.

But the strength of such human emotion is contrasted by Lew’s cold and cutting synthesizers; they drive Chaos

by Invitation. Never before has Cold Beat sounded so electronic. Since Lew values fun while performing her songs live, her tracks are overwhelmingly upbeat despite their darkness. She molds her lyrical motifs of ice and chains with mechanical vocals across the album, as on the monotone “Chainmaille” and “Don’t Touch.” Even the album cover evokes machinery, strongly resembling a QR code. » - Gina Pieracci

Love Is Love is the 10th studio release from the psychedelic folk band Woods. It is a concept album in six songs, written and recorded in the two months following the election. It is spiritual, appealing to love as an ideal of human harmony. The band draws on jazz, world music and the sonic toolkit of a Grateful Dead-inspired jam band to deliver elegant compositions, despite how quickly they were produced.

halfway point. We go from the catchy chorus of “Lost In The Crowd,” in which the band sounds like a shaggier The Shins, to the foreboding 10-minute instrumental “Spring Is In The Air.” This dark valley stretches through the subsequent track, “Hit That Drum,” with its dirge tempo. But the album comes out on the other side, and there is sunlight in the reworked reprise of the title track. Love Is Love effectively envelopes you, even consumed with a shabby pair of headphones. It has depth. » - Tyler Burdwood

Timber Timbre Sincerely, Future Pollution City Slang Records If The Bang Bang Bar from Twin Peaks was a real place, it's definitely where Timber Timbre would have gotten their start as the house band. Bizarre, hesitant and at times unsettling, the blues-tinged psychedelic folk trio's latest album, Sincerely, Future Pollution, is a fitting soundtrack for our current political situation.

Marked with reverberating chords that

Future Islands The Far Field 4AD Records Less than a minute into the video for Future Islands’ new single “Ran”–off their new album The Far Field–things are sounding pretty promising. A muscular bassline ripples under dreamy synths. Then comes the throbbing kick courtesy of Michael Lowry, appearing on a Future Islands album for the first time (though he’s served as the live drummer for the core trio of Sam Herring, Gerrit Welmers

hang thick in the air and images of “a Coney Island mermaid caught out in the sludge tide,” the album bobs along in a heavy atmosphere. It creeps from cautious optimism to throbbing despair and back again as if moving through fog.

Timber Timbre formed in Toronto in 2005, and Sincerely, Future Pollution is their sixth studio album, following the more whimsical Hot Dreams (2014).

Recorded near Paris, Sincerely, Future Pollution is a reflection of the chaos that's been unfolding around us, and it's easy to feel the uncertainty of our times woven throughout. If you close your eyes on the album's title track, you can almost picture the steam rising from the manholes of a dark, crumbling city.

Although Sincerely, Future Pollution is rife with themes of societal decline, it's balanced with comparatively brighter tracks like “Grifting” and “Moment.” The latter arrives with an unexpected drive right before the ceiling starts to slowly lower with the despondent “Sewer Blues.”

and William Cashion since 2014.) With the drum arrives Herring’s distinctive raring-to-go, emotive growl; maybe for this new one, the guys reined in the spirit of 2014’s Singles. That is to say, reined in the schmaltz that ultimately endeared a huge audience to the decidedly strange Islands. A closer look at The Far Field as a whole reveals an oddly understated pop album that nonetheless could serve as the final proof of the band’s vision.

Maybe it’s all just synthpop to you, but the band’s approach has dramatically evolved over the years.

Their fairly spry 2008 debut Wave Like Home called to mind early Depeche Mode, while 2010’s In Evening Air deepened the soulful undercurrents of Herring’s frantic shouting and Welmers’ vintage synths. By the time they arrived at their most affecting album, 2011’s On the Water, the throaty, impassioned ballads were all there, and suddenly, the minimal setup of singer, bassist, and keyboardist/ programmer contrasted with what the music was saying in an interesting way. Three years later, a follow-up

Tense numbers like “Bleu Nuit” are a metaphor for the giant echo chamber that comprises our pundit class, as the listener literally struggles to hear the lyrics through the layers of fuzzy noise.

Vocalist Taylor Kirk is a little bit of Johnny Cash mixed with Stephin Merritt, but with a velvety, delicate touch that helps to counteract the heaviness of the album. He also shows a bit of cheekiness on tracks like “Cathedral Blues” when he sings the lyrics, “I felt like half a man, the king of devotion, his death on Instagram.” It’s a nice reminder that even though these are dreadful times, it's best not to take oneself too seriously.

Overall Sincerely, Future Pollution is a grim, lovely nod to our collective anguish and the realization that the future is more uncertain than it’s ever been. That feeling of doom is, unfortunately, totally and completely normal, so it's OK if you want to feel numb for a little bit. After all, you are not dreaming, no matter how much you wish you were. » - Crystal Contreras

chock full of earworms, and they were at center stage. The Far Field mostly builds on earlier successes rather than somehow changing to fit a wider audience; it has the texture and emotional pull of On the Water, with Lowry’s presence boosting the immediacy that was missing from Singles.

Future Islands have always seemed perplexingly familiar and mysterious at once. Very little–aside from “Ran,” the lovely “Candles,” a duet with Debbie Harry for “Shadows,” and the seductive closer “Black Rose”–stands out at first.

What, if anything, separates the feel of “Time on Her Side” from “Beauty of the Road”? Even the lyrics seem to mirror one another, one expressing doubt about love from the present while the other reminisces on love lost. And yet, the album nags at you, demanding more visits. What underlies the ultramundanity of Future Islands’ sincerity and the steady pulse undercutting it can slip past you. In time, it haunts you.

Wait and see. » - Matthew Sweeney

KNOW YOUR VENUE The Know | 3728 NE Sandy

W

hen we visited The Know on Alberta Street a year ago, its future was uncertain. Closure was looming due to the sale of the building in which the DIY dive bar and rock venue had resided for over a decade. There was talk of moving to a new location, but where? And would it be the same?

It hurt when The Know permanently closed its old doors, and the hunt for a new space lasted for months. After checking out several locations in Northeast, owner Ryan Stowe serendipitously found a vacancy near the busy corner of NE Sandy Boulevard and Halsey Street.

As he tells it, “I stopped at the light and looked over and said, ‘Hey that used to be The Blackbird! I used to go there all the time, and it’s empty?’ The next day our realtor got ahold of the owners, and we were in here checking it out.”

The building has a musical history. It recently housed the jazz club Mazza’s, and before that, Tony Starlight’s. It had also been a punk bar called The Blackbird, a place where Stowe had seen and played shows.

During The Know’s hiatus, its longtime crew of bartenders and musicians (which includes three fourths of the band Divers) was nervous.

“I thought that there was no way we were going to find a place that felt like home,” says bartender Jen Hackworth.

“But then we came here and were like, ‘Oh, this is it. This is The Know. It’s perfect.’”

The new digs have much the same lived-in vibe as the former location. While the building is still a work in progress, it was practically move-in ready. The bar and performance space are still divided, except the new space is twice the size, with a large curved bar at the entrance and the stage raised in the corner of the room. As per usual for The Know, the show calendar is packed. As a supporter of emerging

bands, the venue books a lot of new names, as well as familiar ones like Woolen Men and a one-time-only reunion of The Estranged on April 21.

More room means more room for pinball and trippy monster art (expect a lot of art events to complement the music). The biggest change was a huge goal in the transition: a bigger bar with a full kitchen. Sure, you can still have the mixed nuts, but now the venue is open earlier and serves breakfast. The full menu is still under construction, but it will include lots of vegan and vegetarian options and rotating late-night food and drink specials.

It’s only been a month now, but in a way the venue has come full circle as the new The Know. Many of the Alberta regulars live in the neighborhood, and there’s rock music in the old Blackbird again. On a recent Friday night, a guy with spiked hair and jacket was working the door, and inside was the sound of clinking glasses and loud, fuzzy guitar. The place was packed with familiar faces.

Hackworth emphasizes that all are welcome: “Some people may hear we are a punk bar and don’t think to stop in.

We do have a lot of punk shows, but we have a weird mix of interests. We are also just a neighborhood bar.” » - Brandy Crowe

another and arriving at something about time and space and the way people move and change in relation to one another.

When everyone finally began to show up, Byers and I sat down and had a few beers, going over the usual haven’tseen-you-in-a-while conversation points: jobs, houses, relationships, art and all the rest, but it wasn’t until Little Star began to play that I was pulled back into memory’s loose orbit, caught once again in the well of a voice unique in its disarming honesty, singing the song of a person laying everything bare for the gathered crowd.

I caught up with Dan after the show, and we talked about Little Star’s new self-titled project, his songwriting style, antidepressants and sitting in traffic.

The Portland trio’s new self-titled album comes out April 14.

ELEVEN: Take us back to the formation of Little Star. How did you guys first start making music together? What, if anything, has changed since then?

Dan Byers: I started making and recording songs under the name Little

Star in 2014. I made them with a drum machine and played all the instruments until 2015, when I asked Julian [Morris] and my friend Kyle to play. Julian has stayed throughout the last two years (and two drummers), and now we’re playing with our good friend Sonia [Weber]. I still write the songs and bring them to Julian and Sonia. They make up their parts.

11: Let’s talk about the new selftitled album. How long has this project been in the works?

DB: We recorded our self-titled album last July and have been waiting forever for it to be released by our label. I have been excited about moving on from this record–I wrote the songs on it one-and-a-half or two years ago–even though a lot of the content unfortunately and fortunately still applies to my life today.

11: Much of this album is about dealing with stress, anxiety and life in various ways, from love to drugs to music. Which do you find the most effective, and why is it music?

DB: I really like making music and so do Julian and Sonia. It’s a way for us to feel good about ourselves. You know, kinda useful or something? Like maybe somebody will hear what I’m saying and it will help them feel better–like how Robert Smith helps me feel better.

11: Your songwriting style has always had a frankness to it, a kind of humorous yet poignant selfconsciousness that comes across both in your lyrics and in the way you sing them. Could you speak a little bit on how you go about writing songs?

DB: The songs work together as an album because they are all about me and my little drama world in some way. Only “Imbue Yourself with Karen” isn't. I wanted to talk about different things than I did on Being Close. In order to do that I stayed away from talking about romantic relationships and that particular kind of heartbreak that I talked about over and over on Being Close. Instead I wrote about other types of relationships in my life: my relationship to prescription drugs, friends, lying, The Exorcist... I tried to draw a picture of another side of my world.

Part of that is anti-depressants.

Anti-Ds make me feel real numb and I hate that. I unfortunately want to die when I'm not on them. I tried going off like three times last year, and each time I went off or switched drugs I had some scary incident involving a mental health crisis. I made some songs about how antidepressants made (and make) me feel numb and disinterested in the things I used to like. Really just bored and unconcerned with everything. I wrote and write about what it's like for me to be on anti-Ds because I don't really know how else to cope. I know

the whole “feeling nothing/feeling too much” split is something a lot of people on antidepressants experience and so some of my songs (like “Mood”) are meant to be hopeful and encouraging for people who struggle with that particular dilemma.

Some of the songs were written about friends who I love, kinda like a thank you for being in my life, and some of the songs were written by friends who I love. Molly Schaeffer is one of my favorite artists and poets, and when we first met she sent me some of her poems. I loved her poem "Imbue Yourself with Karen" because of its strange and beautiful imagery. I liked imagining Karen's world. (She’s a fictional person).

Karen's room. I didn't change any of the words when I put them into a melody.

Molly thinks it's a better song than a poem, and I think she has actually edited it a lot to make it work better as a poem. I think it's great either way.

My friend Kym Winchell wrote the first part of "Blue Horses" about my room. She had never seen my room and wanted to imagine it via poem. I kept the first half of what she wrote and then wrote the rest of the song about a memory of someone in my life.

metaphorically modern space–alone

11: There are several points on the new album where you talk about being in the car, which is an interesting choice. It’s where I get a lot of my good listening, thinking and writing done,

structure that loosely goes: tender

and to me it’s always felt like a kind of

it works?

in a car in traffic, a weird sort of communal loneliness. Can you speak on your relationship with driving and songwriting?

DB: It’s awesome you brought this up! I wrote a couple of the car songs in 2015 after I got a job teaching piano to people around the city and in the suburbs. I ended up sitting in traffic for like an hour (fuuuuck) every Wednesday and Thursday. I was going through a terrible break-up and feeling a lot of anxiety. I had a lot of time to feel my anxiety while I sat in traffic. It’s a weird, lonely, trapped feeling that can be overwhelming to me at times.

At the same time, it’s also so mundane and shared by so many people that it feels silly to talk about. And that’s how I feel about being depressed and on medication: ashamed and silly to bring it up because it is so common and shared and such a tired musical trope. Talking about traffic was maybe a secret way for me to do that before I was more comfortable talking about my true emotions.

11: Your songs often have a soft-sections that shift into really raw and emotional sections (“Yamaguchi” and “Improv” are like this). How did you arrive at that form? Why do you think

DB: I’m not sure why that happens. I think I need to concentrate on changing things up and avoid returning to what feels right as an emotional arc next time I write. Maybe try a long intro or something. I like screaming and yelling and being obnoxious in song form, but I am often too scared to do it from the start of the song. I, for whatever reason, feel more comfortable leading up to yells. Workin’ on that now.

11: Is this going to be a purely digital release, or are you shooting for a physical release too? What would be your ideal means of distribution?

How do you prefer to listen to recorded music?

DB: It’s going to be a digital, tape and CD release. I love listening to music in my headphones and in my car. Pretty boring. Wish I had more for this one.

11: Your show at Valentine’s was the first time you’ve played in awhile.

(Great set by the way.) Do you plan on

playing more in the future, touring at all for this album? If so, where? If not, why not? Anything else you need to get off your chest? Anything in the works besides this new album? When can we expect that to be available?

DB: Thanks! We’re gonna go on tour in California from April 3-10, and then play on April 14 at Mississippi Studios for our tape release. After that I think it’s May 8 at Mississippi Studios with Charly Bliss, and then once a month until we’re dead. We stopped playing for a while because we had to find a new drummer and rebuild our lives a little bit after a terrible falling out.

11: Who are you listening to right now that people should know about?

DB: My favorite Portland bands right now are Dragging an Ox Through Water and Sweeping Exits. Otherwise, I listen to The Cure. » - Henry Whittier-Ferguson

a little more focused and mature. Many of the songs on the

The thinking goes: Sometimes you just need

ultimately provided more variance within each song than

and all your dreams of being a still-broke

there was in the record as a whole. While maintaining a

but properly recognized musician will be realized. Before you know it, you’ll be playing on late night talk shows and supporting big names on national tours. Hey, it’s rare, but it happens, right?

This scenario more or less came to fruition for freaky psych-proggers Morning Teleportation. In the late aughts, they made a name for themselves with explosive live performances and a kind of folksy mathematical psychedelia to which you can dance. However you classify what they were doing, it caught the eye of Modest Mouse’s Isaac Brock, and he signed them to his newly minted label Glacial Pace Recordings. Brock even offered to produce their first album, Expanding Anyway, which ended up being a high-energy onslaught of psychedelic rock meets banjo meets synthesizer meets erratic song structure. It’s a pretty wild ride that garnered the band some attention in the music press and even a spot performing on Letterman.

Six years have passed since Morning Teleportation’s

similar sense of playful experimentation with style and structure, the new record has a more measured approach to orchestration, achieving a textured polyphony that still provides room for dominant melodies to breathe. Vocalist Tiger Merritt also dials down the Caleb Followill-esque bravado he had on the first record, landing on a calmer, more melodic approach that sounds a little less forced. Overall, Salivating for Symbiosis has a more polished and restrained sound that, while perhaps carrying less euphoric energy than Expanding Anyway, is more thoughtful, dynamic and popfriendly.

Though the band lived in Portland for about four years, they now reside back in Kentucky and Tennessee. I chatted with Merritt and keyboardist Travis Goodwin about their new record, the perils of being a touring band and their on-againoff-again relationship with Portland. It was a particularly drizzly and drab day in Puddletown when I called, so hearing

raucous debut, and the band has been slowly and quietly

about the beautiful weather in the South made me just a

honing their sound. On their forthcoming sophomore release,

little bit jealous.

features national scene ELEVEN: Besides being on Glacial Pace, you guys had a history in Portland, right?

Travis Goodwin: Yeah, we lived in Portland for about four-and-a-half years. Now I live in Nashville, and Tiger lives in Franklin, Kentucky. I miss playing Portland. It’s one of my favorite cities to play in the lower 48. We haven't done it in almost five years.

11: Well, you’ve gotta get back up here!

TG: Yeah, I know, I’m ready! I love Portland. It’s been one of those cities that really helped me grow up. When I moved out there I was probably 20; it was really enlightening. I loved it. I do like having the four seasons we’ve got here though.

Like I said, I love Portland, but today it’s 80 degrees without a cloud in the sky, and it’s been like that on and off for the past two weeks.

11: So you’ve got some Portland roots. Is that how you hooked up with Glacial Pace and Isaac Brock?

Tiger Merritt: We went up to Lollapalooza and met Isaac briefly through a mutual friend. Then a bit later we went to go see a Modest Mouse show in Nashville. After the show I was just walking around with a guitar or a banjo on the street. He said hello and we all ended up hopping in a taxi van

and hung out that night. Our buddy [bassist] Paul Wilkerson had moved to Portland, and we were talking about starting the band. I flew out to Portland for a month or so to hang out with Paul and start writing songs. Then we all moved to Austin, Texas. Paul and I drove from Portland down the coast and Travis and Tres [Coker] came from Bowling Green and we lived in Texas for a few months and cut demos. We toured out of Texas to play Bowling Green, Nashville and Cincinnati. We had a show in Cincinnati the same night as a Modest Mouse show and Isaac came out to see the set.

TG: After that show in Cincinnati he told us he’d produce and put out our record.

TM: Yeah, so we moved back to Bowling Green and made plans to drive out to Portland, move there, and cut the record.

I don't know if Isaac expected us to show up, but we did.

11: How did that feel? Were you guys Modest Mouse fans?

TM: Oh definitely. I mean it was crazy for sure; I had always loved listening to them. If I could tell myself back when I was younger where we are now, I probably would have been pretty surprised.

TM: It was pretty great when we were playing there.

What were you favorite venues?

TM: Living in Portland was great! We found a house to rent in the Southeast and had some house shows. The first venue show we played out there was with Mimicking Birds and Oh Captain, My Captain at Holocene. We would play Doug Fir, Mississippi Studios, Rontoms and open for bands at Crystal Ballroom. We were into having everyone over to jam, riding bikes, skateboarding, mushroom pickin', BBQ'n, going to the rivers and relaxing.

11: Sounds perfectly Portland! What ultimately led you all to move back to the South?

TM: After being in Portland for a few years I think our drummer wanted to move back to Kentucky to be near family, and it seemed like a good time to switch things up for a minute. I do remember loading up the moving truck on a sunny day and wondering, “Why am I moving again?”

11: You guys really balance extremes well in your music. There are a lot of intense dynamic shifts in everything from instrumentation to rhythm to mood and genre influences. What’s it like when you sit down to write a song? What’s your process like?

In some of the first mountains we hit it starts breaking down and we have to get it running again on the side of the road. I think that happened a few more times on the way to Kentucky. We get the thing back and started getting it ready for tour–fixing the wiring, cleaning it, and making sure there were no more black widows. Gotta make a house a home. We start the tour with Desert Noises and it seems to be running pretty good. Then, after playing Pittsburgh we get in some heavy traffic and the engine starts to overheat so we start going down the side of the road and people start to get surly. It was an odd kind of bumper cars thing and people were pretty much pushing each other’s cars out of the way, stopping at nothing. We had to make it 50 more miles to get within the tow radius of a wrecker. We finally were able to get towed to the festival with the RV bouncing around like crazy on the tow truck. We thought the cabinets were going to fall off. Somehow with a mixture of our buddy’s mechanical knowledge and exotic mood modifiers the engine was taken apart and put back together.

Shortly thereafter we parted ways with Hagatha.

11: What would you say is new or different for you guys musically with Salivating for Symbiosis?

TG: I think me and Tiger were able to be a lot more handson with the sound, and we were able to spend a lot more time working on the record. Our bass player and drummer were out there for the first 10 days. Then I stayed for another 10 weeks or so. Tiger stayed out for a lot longer, like about a year. We were living and traveling between Portland and the Bowling Green and Nashville areas.

TM: Jeremy really elevated the songs so much. Some of my favorite songs weren’t completely finished when we brought them in, and they completely evolved into a new thing. Isaac dropped in a few times, but he mostly let us go on our own with Jeremy for this one.

11: What kind of stuff were you thinking about when you wrote these songs? What kinds of themes were you exploring?

TM: Sometimes I feel like the themes change from one line to the next, you know? I just focus in on an event and I’ll think about it over a period of a few months. One line will be from the past; one line will be from the present. I don’t necessarily know what a song is about sometimes as a whole, but as I sing them over time they evolve and I start to look at them differently, and the lines start to mean new things to me. I tend to focus on all kinds of things like personal events, or stuff out in the world, or things the group of us have experienced like travel or losing friends. It’s a mixture of moments that have happened over the years. »

greatness but come up short, or who, despite intentions of kindness and love, still manage to fuck everything up. Those are stories about lives that don't go as planned, but they must go on. While the stories were shaped by a number of things, including events in my own life, the primary influence has to do with a sense of place. If you look at a map of Wisconsin and find where Highways 55 and 64 intersect, that is the area I was trying to write about.

11: Congratulations on becoming recognized for the Leslie Bradshaw Award for Young Adult Literature (from the Oregon Book Awards). What does this recognition mean for A Series of Small Maneuvers?

ET: Thanks. I believe in this book, and it feels affirming to get some critical recognition for it, in part, because many people initially passed on it. It means a lot for Ooligan Press, who took a risk with my book, and they worked their butts off. I'm so grateful to them, and their editors, so they should

LITERARY ARTS Oregon writer Eliot Treichel

O

regon Book Award finalist Eliot Treichel weaves young adult literature with small-town, dirty realism to create compelling results. His first book, Close Is Fine, is a gritty collection of short stories steeped in Midwestern sincerity while delivering raw punchlines at the expense of men living along Wisconsin highways. In A Series of Small Maneuvers, Treichel embraces the Y.A. novel by rejecting the geography, gender and genre arrangements of his essays, and he explores the grief of a young girl after losing her father.

Still, don’t let Small Maneuvers’ Y.A. tag fool you.

Treichel’s latest work carries over the same honest-to-god storytelling and realism found in Close Is Fine, but it shows what he can do with a higher page count. Keep an eye on Treichel. His next maneuver will land, and it will be big.

ELEVEN: I’ll start by asking you about Close Is Fine, a gritty collection of short stories that won the Wisconsin Library Association Literary Award. How did that collection materialize?

Eliot Treichel: The title comes from a piece of dialogue I overheard while on a construction site. At the time, I'd been working on the collection for several years. I was struggling to find the thread that connected all the pieces together, and when I heard "close is fine," I knew that would be the title. All the stories in that collection are about men, who strive for

share in this too. Overall, I hope this will lead more people to discover Ooligan Press, not only for their books, but also for the stellar people coming out of the program. This whole thing has also made my mom really stoked.

11: Small Maneuvers has received other positive critical reception. Melanie Bishop of The Huffington Post wrote, “I’d go so far as to say [A Series of Small Maneuvers] is one of the best books I’ve read this year, in any genre,” and Publishers Weekly gave it a starred review. Additionally, it won the Reading the West Award. How does this success translate to your work as a writer?

ET: Those are tough questions to answer. I'm very grateful for, and humbled by, the acknowledgments that A Series of Small Maneuvers has received. I can't say that they don't matter, because they do. At the same time, I think there is sometimes a sense that these kinds of successes will automatically parlay into something larger, career-wise, or that they'll provide a kind of everlasting Kryptonite to selfdoubt.

The truth of the matter is that the work of the writer is to write, and great reviews or awards don't change that. I have a quote from Cheryl Strayed clipped to the lamp on my desk, which reads, "Your cause is to write a great book and then to write another great book and to keep writing them for as long as you can. That is your only cause." It's there as a reminder, so I can turn to it when I get caught up in the other stuff. I should also say that right behind that quote is another piece of paper, which reads, "Be a bestseller."

11: Did Small Maneuvers accomplish what you set out for it to do?

ET: I'll say yes—but also no. What matters most—besides just doing the work—is if the book resonates with people. For the most part, when people pick up Small Maneuvers, I want

I don't have the chops for that.” Additionally, my daughter was reading a lot of Y.A. while I was working at the public library in Eugene. It seemed like the Y.A. section was the most lively and interesting, so I headed in that direction.

11: A Series of Small Maneuvers is characteristically Y.A., but Emma’s story carries over some of the same themes (death, maturity, loss, family) found in Close Is Fine. It also retains that collection’s sense of realism. Can you talk about writing a Y.A. book that doesn’t lock itself into the typical genre molds or gender stereotypes?

ET: Overall, I read very little Y.A. during the early drafts of the novel. That was a conscious decision. And that realism you mention is kind of the only way I know how to write, at least for now. Several people have told me that the novel isn't really Y.A, and one bookseller who loves the book doesn't even shelve it in the Y.A section of her store.

ET: I hope it's a bit of both. The project I'm working on now feels like a mashup of my two books. At the same time, I hope my voice and range keep expanding, and that I might begin writing in some other styles. For me, writing a novel is exhausting in how much patience it takes. I'm sure I'll always write stories and essays to break that up.

When I started working on my current project, which is another Y.A. novel, I found that reading so much Y.A. messed me up quite a bit. I began thinking too much about genre, and I began thinking too much about the Y.A. label, which wasn’t working. It was, to borrow a phrase from Scott Rice, "driven by all the wrong drivers.” It took reading a bunch of poetry collections to get things rolling again. Now I'm back to listening to what my characters have to say. I like where things are going.

11: Now that you are out of Wisconsin, how are you connecting with Oregon’s literary community?

that you also had to like to party and hang out. I interviewed there and they gave me the opportunity to move there, and I lived there for two years.

It was absurd and also amazing because half of the house was actively working on artistic projects at any given time, so to be around that many creative people was amazing.

Everyone had their day jobs as well, but at night we had this basement that was the artistic space where everyone would go. There would be painting, screen-printing, drawing, people playing music... that was really cool. That experience definitely led me into doing what I do now, and I wouldn’t be doing what I am without living at that house.

O

n another cold, drab and wet Portland day, the city is almost camouflaged. Everything seems to hide in an endless sea of gray. In response, Portland native Hannah Concannon battles that dullness with extremely bright and kaleidoscopic colors. They are so rich they almost seem to emanate heat from the canvas. Perhaps as a defense to the cold months of winter, Concannon literally drapes herself with the warmth of these colors. Her bodybased art explores makeup, costuming and self-portraiture.

ELEVEN: You are a Portlander by origin, but you lived in San Francisco for some time where you came across The Convent Collective. Will you tell us about that time and what you gained from that experience?

Hannah Concannon: I moved to Berkeley first, and it was wonderful, but it was also very slow and neighborhood-esque.

I responded to a Craigslist ad for The Convent Collective. It was a space that was literally a converted convent with 19 bedrooms in the lower Haight district, and the requisite for living or moving there was to be an artist. Later, I found out

HC: That is where I started my Daily Faces project and doing face painting. I also got into costume designing and apparel. The project platform was to make an image once a day for 50 days, and I ended up doing it for a whole year. I didn’t have very much time to really plan what I would be doing all the time. The inspiration came from someone just making a suggestion, or being on Pinterest and seeing a pattern that caught my eye, or just seeing another person’s work out at a gallery and being inspired by that.

In the worst case scenario, I would just sit down and start painting, and three hours later I always landed at something.

Sometimes I’d hate it but still have to document it because that was the project. The Dress Up Box and the Daily Faces project were very much a response to being around the people I was around and the environment I was in. While it did fizzle out, it definitely left me with a portfolio that I could then get into graduate school with.

11: Through this process you also made your own costumes as well?

HC: I studied costume design as part of my undergraduate degree–theater design as a minor and English was my major.

community visual arts beauty, superficiality and image manipulation that interest me. I am fascinated by how you can make your face and body look any way you want. It’s a body, yes, but the way you can easily camouflage and radically change what is on top of it is crazy.

11: Is there any value to superficiality, especially in our overly consumeristic culture?

HC: Oh my god, yeah. Jeez.

11: I always feel like there is a negative connotation to that, or at least a harmful one.

That is where I got started with everything in a more formal sense. I was also always the kid wearing all kinds of ridiculous things and loved Halloween and was amazed by the concept that I could make Halloween into a job.

11: Do you have a favorite costume you have made?

HC: I was in a performance art piece in the SE Bay area, and I helped some of my friends, who art directed the show, make these gigantic bird costumes. It was about bird watching, but throughout the show these huge elaborate birds would pop out from the grass and do a dance to music.

We made this one bird that was a huge disco owl costume.

The feathers of the owl, I can only describe as potholders

HC: It’s so funny because there’s superficiality, and then there is aesthetic sense. If you have too much of one and not the other then, yeah, it’s a problem. There is always this balance that you are trying to create. I see this most in the Instagram makeup girls I follow, and there is this really high level of superficiality of the selfie and the implied narcissism there.

On the other hand, to create those images, whether it’s conscious or not, takes a strong aesthetic sense. You are putting colors together and choosing angles and lighting and presenting this crafted, completely perfect image. That’s cool because it takes a lot of work, but then it’s also very superficial too. I think especially female artists get really hit hard with a lot of judgement for being superficial when it’s really a skill also. It is an art form too.

made with these psychedelic ‘70s-inspired fabrics. I also wore this huge owl head that was made out of a sombrero and all this random stuff and huge owl feet. The whole thing weighed a ton, but it was so much fun to wear and to make. It was transformative. I put that on and I became the disco owl, whatever that means.

11: I think it is unique that you use your own body to make your work. How has that challenged you?

HC: With all of my new work, it’s my hands covered in tempera paint, which I was taking photos of. The Blue series is the very first time I discovered this. I was pouring paint over my hand for a class and then I turned my hand over

How do I get a photo of this?” I have since been asking my friends to let me take photos of their hands with paint, or shoulders or whatever so that I could direct the photos, because attempting the one-handed photographing of myself was too hard, and it’s not very practical.

11: Does all of your art incorporate bodies in some way?

HC: It does! With the face painting, I just wanted to get better at makeup, so that’s where it came from, and it was easy to use myself to practice. Since then, I wonder why there is such a focus on myself and the body. Beyond just being a social media artist, there [are] the meditations and focus on

community visual arts fashion designer at first. It’s amazing in one sense, but as I started getting into that world, I felt like it was a slap in the face to be exposed to the reality of what it means to be in that industry. It is really awful.

To help fight the negativity of that, I appreciate the rise of the online shop versus the large retailer. People have the tools and the power now to create badass clothing lines that are non-gendered or niche or that offer a more diverse size range, and that is more possible now than it was before. Running a clothing shop is historically a money-losing business, so I think that is a major deterrent for a lot of people, but we need as much involvement as possible.

11: How do you feel your creativity has been influenced by this new Trump era?

HC: I remember right after the election I was struggling a lot because I was thinking of my work as being really frivolous and not really making a “difference.” I realized that being an artist and actively making art in and of itself is a radical gesture though. I think as part of the negativity of this political climate, the message is to stop making art so we have to resist that and we can’t stop. I think being a female making body-based work and having a visible online presence is where I center myself now in that regard. I used to feel like I needed

to make more ham-fisted political statements with my work, but I realize now that there is still room for subtlety and you can still make a political impact.

11: If you could pick a color that represents you, which would it be?

HC: I think I have more of a color scheme. I would choose blues of all kinds, especially in combination with hot pink. I also love, love, love pastels. Hot pink is my favorite color. If you looked at my face painting set, those are the colors that are used the most.

11: Those selections are a good yin and yang.

HC: Yeah, the cool of the blue versus the really vibrant and warm hot pink. Maybe it’s a response to living in the very gray Northwest, but I always seem to gravitate toward the really vibrant colors. We had an assignment the other week where the professor asked us to think about how where we come from influences our work. I think I choose high chroma colors because I am surrounded, for a majority of the year, by muted tones.

11: Do you have any advice for other artists as far as how you maintain your creative motivation?

HC: I think it is important to make a schedule and make something every day. The daily deadline is very helpful, because the more work you make the more you can perfect your art and find what you like, discover your style–that’s how all of the best things come out. Putting myself online gave me some accountability as well, which was helpful. It can be hard to put yourself out there and to be judged, but it’s important not to be embarrassed, even if it is not up to your standard. » - Lucia Ondruskova
