Started as the brainchild of diehard fans who wanted to engage audiences in easier, more substantial ways, Drip is a network of the world's best creators and their biggest supporters. Mainline is a free membership on Drip, which includes the monthly Mainline Podcast. Our goal is to use this medium as a platform where we can talk pointedly with some of the world's best, most inspired creators about their remarkable visions and stories. We hope the Mainline Podcast might enrich and activate our listeners, and maybe even show you something new.

For Episode 001, we spoke with Zach Tetreault, the drummer and multi-instrumentalist of Hundred Waters. Zach's band is fascinating for a number of reasons, not the least of which is their critically acclaimed second album for Skrillex's OWSLA label, The Moon Rang Like a Bell. The LA-based electronic-pop outfit is also behind a new DIY music and art event that aims to create a more boutique, personalized experience than your average big-ticket festival.

Taking place in a "micro-city" outside of Phoenix, AZ, FORM: Arcosanti will launch its second edition this Memorial Day Weekend, so we asked Zach to tell us a bit about his band and their latest project. Our conversation touches on Hundred Waters' background, how the group operates kind of like a family unit, and why that sort of close-knit community is important to what FORM: Arcosanti is all about. We also hear some fantastic music from The Moon Rang Like a Bell, reminding us exactly why Zach's band was featured on so many "Best of" lists at the close of 2014.

Tracklist:
Lushes - "Harsh" (Mainline intro theme)
Hundred Waters - "Cavity"
Hundred Waters - "Xtalk"
Hundred Waters - "Out Alee"
Hundred Waters - "Innocent"
Hundred Waters - "Murmurs"

Mainline Podcast 001: Hundred Waters

Since 2002, the Seattle label Light in the Attic has been releasing and reissuing lost treasures in country, soul, reggae and more from artists like Rodriguez, Roky Erikson, Lee Hazelwood, Karen Dalton and more.  We chatted with label founder Matt Sullivan about the label's beginnings and their breakthrough releases.

These conversations were originally meant to be turned into a written piece, but listening to Matt speak, it seemed like the best way to get these stories across was for you to hear him tell them in his own words. We spoke via phone -- and you can hear that in the recording -- but the stories are interesting enough to overshadow any technological limitations.

Drip Podcast: Light in the Attic Talk Meeting Rodriguez & Reissuing "Cold Fact"

The work of artist Michael Harren focuses on the human condition. His performance piece Tentative Armor offset recollections of his experiences moving to New York with a moving reflection on the passing of his mother. His work is borne of an incredible sense of compassion -- a committed vegan, Harren is currently artist-in-residence at Tamerlaine Animal Sanctuary, and he'll use his experiences there as the basis for a new show premiering next fall.

In honor of his arrival on Drip, we chatted with Harren about his work at the Sanctuary, his experiences writing Tentative Armor, how an unlikely encounter with a spiritualist aided his creative process, and how he ended up with a gig as Sandra Bernahrd's piano player.
