    Vagabon (aka Laetitia Tamko) is a guest on the new Talkhouse podcast series Listening. On the show, curated by Elia Einhorn, artists are invited to share their perspective on how they listen to the world and how that informs the music they make. They also create a new composition for the episode and discuss the creative process behind it. In this episode, Tamko shares, says Einhorn, “the sounds she cherishes from growing up in Cameroon and how weaving together motion and our stream of consciousness can open us up to big ideas.” You can hear their conversation and the composition she wrote for the show here. Vagabon will perform at Venus Fest in Toronto and with Jason Isbell at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville in October.

    Vagabon has teamed up with Courtney Barnett for a cover inspired by Karen Dalton's version of "Reason to Believe," which was originally written and recorded by Tim Hardin in 1965 and covered by a wide range of artists since. After discovering Dalton's version, "I became obsessed," says Vagabon's Lætitia Tamko, "and so a few days after discovering it, I was encouraged to record a cover of it in my garage." Barnett adds "I'm a huge fan of Vagabon and Karen Dalton so this was a dream. They both have a voice that absolutely knocks the wind out of me." Vagabon has announced a livestream on January 29; tickets are available now.
