Serving the San Francisco Bay Area New Music Community

“PC ​​Muñoz’s first spoken word album in two decades is a lushly rhythmic exploration that exists at the crossroads of music, poetry, oral history, and storytelling. In seventeen short minutes, ​​Muñoz summons an entire universe of characters in pieces that nevertheless feel as intimate as overheard conversations. ‘Little Ransoms’ marks a triumphant return to the poetic form by one of the Bay Area’s most distinctive voices.”
-Rob Arnold, Author and Executive Director, Poets House of NYC

“Think Bauhaus couch-hopping in the Bay Area, or a Mike Ladd-esque synth deep in Oceania's tongue ancestral. ‘Little Ransoms’ makes the captive body molt. Cryptic, ironic and devastatingly real.”
-LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, Author, TwERK

Folks: “Little Ransoms”, PC ​​Muñoz’s first spoken word album in 21 years, is out on all streaming services starting today. You can stream, download, and peep all liner notes on bandcamp or stream on your service of choice.

On Friday June 5th at 10:30am I’ll be on KXSF’s “Frequency Uplift” program to talk about the album with Bob Thawley, and later that same night we’ll have the official release event at Medicine for Nightmares in San Francisco, featuring readings from the album and music from Red Fast Triple Luck: David Boyce, Pc Muñoz, Francis Wong, and Chris Trinidad.
