Salutations void denizens! This new podcast episode marks a shake-up in our typical approach to covering music. While we maintained a steady pace of publishing single album review episodes for the past couple of years, this formula has become increasingly cumbersome. There are so many albums we want to cover from this year that we just don’t have the time for in our current format. Plus, we wanted to take a stab at making the episodes more conversational. (Note: We do have two more episodes that are, more or less, in our now old format that we plan to drop in due time).
With that in mind, this new format endeavors to cover many more artists. Upcoming records to look forward to, some fresh(-ish) singles from bands we dig, newer EPs, splits, and demos, and even some peculiar finds from the dregs of Bandcamp. The back half of the episode aligns more with what you’d expect from our old format. In it, we cover four records with some depth and banter. Connor picks two and I pick two.
In this episode, we cover: Pomegranate Tiger, Pound, Allegaeon, Unfurl, Mastodon, Intercourse, Don't Grow Old, Gonemage, Knock Over City, Insomnium, Knocked Loose, Bossk, LLNN, Abstracter, Vixen Maw, Wordclock, BUMMER, Trophy Scars, and GRIZZLOR.
