Minneapolis synth-rockers Solid Gold delighted a sold-out audience on Friday at the Turf Club.

For the latest edition of Minnesota Sessions, we went to The Terrarium studios in Minneapolis with The Cactus Blossoms. Fresh off the release of their third studio record, we spoke with the sibling duo about the murky waters of songwriting inspiration, their work with David Lynch on ‘Twin Peaks,’ and inviting Jenny Lewis as a guest vocalist on the album.

Tune in to hear Diane’s interview with The Cactus Blossoms. We recorded our conversation at Terrarium studios in NE Minneapolis following an in-studio session, where the vintage folk/Americana band performs 3 songs off of their brand new record “One Day”. We talk about songwriting, touring, collaborating with musician Jenny Lewis and filmmaker David Lynch, and they gives us a little background behind their longstanding residency at the St Paul venue Turf Club.  In addition, hear brand new music from Tolliver, Dua Saleh, Loki’s Folly and much more.

Bloodline, S. Carey, Tragic Hands, and Jesse Norell have new clips to check out - and as a special bonus, a video created by a New York social justice organization that was inspired by an Ashley DuBose song.
