about

The Hathaway Family Plot is a musician from Buffalo, New York, whose mission is to make music with whatever is at hand. The Hathaway Family Plot struggles, however futilely, against late-industrial capitalism, consumer culture, and music-as-commodity.

Inspired by the increasing practice of musicians sponsored by corporations, these 16 tunes are The Hathaway Family Plot’s latest attempt to make music that is the anti-commodity: sloppy, unmarketable, and sometimes flagrantly difficult to listen to.

I've loved working with Rrrrrose, and I love so much of her music. It's hard to pick one album from the massive catalog, but this one made a big impression on me. The Hathaway Family Plot

Kukkia · EP
by Violeta Päivänkakkara

Gentle, whispered Finnish vocals over beautifully-just-out-of-tune arrangements. It's like a wonderfully comforting dream. The Hathaway Family Plot
