James Tillman w. Mediocre Cafe

James Tillman is a New York CIty-based multidisciplinary artist with a focus on music and moving image. His work often reflects themes surrounding the ephemerality of lived experience: contextualizing sensory aspects of life through fragments of sound, film, poetry, and archival research.

Mediocre Cafe is a musical project and live band from Sacramento California. On Easy Listening–the band’s debut album, Mediocre Cafe deftly pulls from a wide range of influences, synthesizing Errol Garner and Ariel Pink into an effortlessly cool and original record. Each track flows seamlessly into the next, creating a 30-minute world that, true to its name, is easy on the ears.
