An Ode to Harvey Milk for Smithsonian Folkways' 75th Birthday | KQED
Briefly

"Knowledge is not just words on a page. Sound is a major way that humans interact with the world," says Williger, "The Folkways catalog is full of both the monumental and the minute, everything from the sound of a stapler being stapled to the March on Washington."
"[Folkways] records talk of serious subjects, but they do so in a really fun way, that's silly at times and heartfelt, and I really connect to that," says Gardner, "They sound quite simple and they're also pretty stripped down. I've always loved ... the realness of that."
The lead single is Wave a Flag for Harvey Milk, a simple ode to the renowned gay activist and politician. The song was released in June, during Pride Month, in advance of the full album's August release.
