Alabaster DePlume's latest album, ‘Come With Fierce Grace,’ is a testament to how radical empathy can profoundly shape an artist's journey while also influencing those around them.

On an all-new episode of Discologist, we sit down with DePlume, aka Gus Fairbairn, to talk about his mission to make space for and facilitate joy, the beautiful chaos of his live shows, and much, much more.

Alabaster DePlume’s (aka Gus Fairbairn) To Cy & Lee: Instrumentals, Vol. 1, was roundly praised as one of the best albums of 2020 and served as a balm for music fans of all types as they settled into a new, pandemic reality. Now he’s back with GOLD, an uplifting, quasi-spiritual journey towards understanding the value of self-worth in a world where it may no longer be valued. Part free-jazz, part primitive hymnal, GOLD builds on the strengths of DePlume’s earlier work to coalesce into his strongest statement on our shared humanity to date.
