#022: Jenny Genius introspective and upbeat indie rock

ctverses audio interviews

photo credit: kelly sullivan iin this episode of our podcast, we interviewed Jenny Genius(!), the New Haven band featuring Maggie and Dan Katz (from Spit-Take / NG2BC) and Chris Chew (from his Chew solo work and formerly drums in Honeycutt). they just released a brand new tape (self-titled), so i was super excited to pick their brains about their songwriting process, their knack for the less-than-two-minute tune, and Rivers Cuomo's social studies teacher. and because Maggie and Dan also co-run the venue NG2BC (with Joe), you know i had to ask them about that too. you can find Jenny Genius's music on bandcamp, and if you order their tape, all proceeds go to New Haven's Citywide Youth Coalition. but -- and here's the catch -- there are only 50 copies, so you should order now instead of waiting! intro and outro songs: "bumps & bones" and "oak" by jenny genius jennygenius.bandcamp.com ctverses.com
