Today's new episode of The Tonearm Podcast features pedal steel innovator Sam Wenc discussing 'Language at an Angle', his debut release under his own name after thirteen years recording as Post Moves.

Wenc talks about retiring that moniker, the bodily and compositional relationship he has developed with the pedal steel, and how a sustained meditation practice shaped both the album's titles and its musical arc. The conversation also turns to the late Susan Alcorn — to whom the album is dedicated — and what her example meant for how Wenc thinks about tradition, freedom, and the instrument itself.
