Charlie Lowell Interviewed by New York Minute Mag
New York Minute Mag interviewed Charlie about the creation of Inlandia, a remix project featuring songs from Inland:
Inlandia was a pet project for me, because I love discovering new music. I comb music blogs, and devote a lot of energy into seeking out new music. It sounded fun to try and play that part for others as well. I really enjoy the communication and networking that goes into the process of finding new music. I also like the idea of helping our fans discover some artists and records that wouldn’t otherwise be on their radar.
