Jessica Pratt: KCRW Live from HQ
Intimate performances, fresh sounds, and candid conversations with a view.
Step into the carefully cultivated sonic world of LA-native folk artist Jessica Pratt (guitar, vocals) as she and her band — Matthew McDermott (keys), Nico Leibman (bass), Riley Fleck (drums), and Diego Herrera (saxophone) — share the beguiling tones of “Better Hate” from Pratt’s 2024 LP Here in the Pitch. Ever wonder what the golden days of AM radio would sound like if they were programmed by famed occultist Aleister Crowley? The video above will give you a solid idea. Plus, in the video below you’ll find fan favorite “Poly Blue” from Pratt’s 2019 opus Quiet Signs.
