M. Sage’s Tender / Wading is a quietly sublime album...Unafraid to reach into the past, and unafraid of its own big heart, it is textural, varied, consistently interesting and frequently moving. klofmag.com/2025/09/m-sa...

We are talking a lot about things and yet there is so much we aren't learning.

There is a lot happening in the world (gosh) and Sp*tify sucks but people listen to music... and that's fine. RVNG shares a mix I made of songs that inspired by new record today.

I am a grateful guest on claire rousay's new single "just (feat. m. sage)"

This whole album -- a little death -- is wonderful and I am very flattered to have made some piano and clarinet and a bell ding.
