Another great conversation on Musical Meanderings this week as it was a pleasure to speak to Jason Sissoyev of Coastlands. I enjoyed their new album The Further Still since hearing about it on the WherePostRockDwells youtube channel in November last year. Their music typifies what I enjoy in post-rock and instrumental music, with the building, layered crescendoes and what can be expressed in the music, even without words.

In fact, we spoke about that, along with learning about his history in music in a nurturing, supportive environment when Jason was young. He also talked about the formation of the band, the creation of the music and playing live. Part of the conversation touched on how emotions can be expressed and worked out through the music and how they support each other and their fans. I included an extract from the conversation about this on my recent Mental Health Matters podcast here at Phoenix, which you can check out here:
