For his forthcoming album Tender / Wading, American musician and intermedia artist M. Sage deploys a distinct sound: a pastoral kind of folk Kosmiche, contemplative electro-acoustic barn jazz for the Front Range, brimming with pale puddle blues and rusted oil drum reds. Album highlight "Wading the Plain” cuts through the high grass with dashes of clarinet and piano. Sage calls it “a sort of domestic pastoral anthem for a post-internet dweller.”
