It's the last episode we will put out for a while. We went with something special.
Strap in for a wild ride.
We don't cover much EDM ground on this podcast so we were very excited when our friend Eric picked this album for this very special guest episode! Crawl with us through Porter's many high's and lows of fame and creativity. This is a great one!
It's time to get groovy on a metaphysical level. Let the sweet, warm water of Stevie Wonder wash you away in transcendental peace in his wonderful album Innervisions.
It's time to get a little dreamy here on the album crawl. This episode were crawling through Frank Ocean's debut album, Channel Orange. We'll go through his sentimental lyrics, hazy production, and the sprawl of LA.
You know you've been holding in some grief or regret for too long! It's time to crawl through those emotions with us as we listen through Sampha's wonderful debut album Process. In this episode we go through dense layers of music as well as lyrics of man struggling with his place in the world and his own decisions.
OUI OUI
Ga ga! Goo goo! You know how babies talk! Also, you know they're favorite utensil is the Spoon! In honor of all babies everywhere we are covering Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga by Spoon. This is a fun indie rock record from the mid 2000's. It's perfect at being just that. Crawl with us through these white space using funky beats!
It time to pack your things and get the hell out of where you are. Its an Exodus! Were hanging with Bob Marley this week so sit back and light some insence, it's going to be a jamming time.
The bass! Outer space! Three stacks!! It's time to get groovy and eat some grits over here at the album crawl. We are tackling the critically acclaimed southern rap milestone ATLiens by Outkast. Crawl with us as we attempt to understand, sometimes literally, what is going on in this masterpiece.
It's episode 50! For it we are visiting rap for the first time in too long. Let's get to the gigantic blockbuster 2003 master peice, Jay Z's The Black Album!
We can't help ourselves! These song crawls are just so much fun! For the 4th round we bring in friend of the show Graham to pick some songs to add to this never ending chain. Crawl with us!
Continuing down our little path of electronic music we cannonball into the headiest of all of it, Aphex Twin. To try and understand this musical enigma we go to the beginning and take a close look at some songs he made as a teenager, and wow how they hold up! This is a really fun episode trying to figure out just what is going on in these little planets of songs. Crawl with us!
Let's get bleeping! Let's get blooping! It's time for the integral electronic album, Kraftwerk's Autobahn! We have a roundtrip of a time strolling through the cinematically minded album as the German boys try to recreate some imagery using only synthesizers. This one might lull you into a coma. Crawl with us!
It's time to talk cryptic songwriting, synthesizers, and the powerful force of the human voice. That is because it is Bon Iver time here at the album crawl. We had a hard time not talking forever with this one because it is so dense and intricate. This is a good one! Crawl with us.
It's time to put the kettle one and get warm by the fire with Fleetwood Mac's little known 6th album Bare Trees. This episode, we listen through some soft rock jams and put together what this band was like pre-Rumors and Stevie Knicks. We had a lot of fun with this one and possibly made fun of Danny Kirwan a little too much. Crawl with us!
It's about that time for another song crawl! Play with us as we jump from song to song and have a blast doing it. We get pretty silly with this one, its a great time. Enjoy!
The epic guitar! The hooks! The okay at best lyrics! Let's get down to one of the biggest album in history, Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet. We have a fun time breaking down this one and seeing just what's worth remembering among these timeless classics.
Caution Baby! It's about that time we crawl back to the early 90's to dance and ponder our way through U2's Achtung Baby. This was a wild episode as we sway from enjoying, to hating, to just being baffled by what Bono and the Edge cooked up on this one. Join us, and if you stick around long enough you can hear some great Anthony Kedis impressions!
Synthy! Wavey! Emotional! Just a few of the words we use to describe DRAMA's debut album Gallows. Crawl with us and our guest Colby this episode as we swim in the low tides of some happy-sad dance music.
