Hi, I'm Weird Al Yankovic, and you're listening to the Pantheon Network. Welcome to No Filler, I'm Travis. And I'm Quentin. And here's a brand new track to kick us off from Queen to the Stone Age. This song is called Carnivor. Nothing, nothing, nothing inside. Sweet. Did not know they were dropping new stuff. Yeah, they've got a new album coming out soon, Q. Actually, it's already out.

We don't record this live, as you guys know. It comes out in June 16th, so it should already be out. We are recording this on June 8th to pull the curtain back a little bit here. So it's not out yet. It's not out yet for us. In the real world that we're in currently. In the future right now, you can listen to this entire record. So they've put out two singles so far.

Well, we got to talk in the past tense because that's where we are. Dude, the curtain's already been pulled back. That's fine. Today it's June 8th, 2023. June 8th, 2023 is when we're recording. But yeah, they put out a song called Emotion Sickness first, and that was back in May. Emotion sickness. Emotion sickness, yeah.

Actually, no, yeah, maybe that was a few weeks. Whatever. It came out already. And it was pretty good, but this one I was really excited about. I like this track a lot. Dude, I was getting some Depeche Mode vibes. Yeah, and I was thinking like, even, you know, like, I don't know, Roy Orbinson or something like that. Like they got, he's like a.

crooner now. Yes. I've always thought that about him. And yeah, he's always had that side of him too. Like, you know, I've kind of fallen off with him as far as like, me too. Following everything that they put out. Yeah. But this song, here that we just play it again, it's called Carnivoyer.

It's checking all the queens of the Stone Age boxes for me as far as like all the stuff that I fell in love with. Yeah, that I love about him. You know, there are recent stuff like their last couple of. albums. It has, you know, kind of sidestepped the desert rock era. You know what I mean? They're not really doing the stuff that they used to do on like songs for the deaf or lullabies to paralyze. You know, they've got this more kind of, it's almost like he's leaning into more of like a, I don't know, like a quirky, whimsical kind of way of, of singing. And, and like, it always reminds you like a, like a carnival or a circus, you know what I mean? Yeah, I get you.

So I'm excited about this record. Well, that was great, man. Yeah, that's exciting. That's promising. Go listen to it right now. The brand new record, it's called In Times New Roman. Came out a couple weeks back on Matador Records. And there you go.

What more do you need to know? New Queens of the Son Age. That's never a bad thing. All right, Q. Well, this is our July, what you heard. It is. So happy 36th, Travis. Yeah.

Soon we'll be turning 36. You'll probably release it. before, I hope, July 12th. Yeah, this will be out before our birthday, July 12th. Dude, we're slowly climbing towards that. Getting there. That hill, man. I'm about to get over it.

That's a ways away, dude. I feel like that's also like, I don't think that applies to 40-year-olds anymore in this day and age. You know what I mean? No, no, dude. I wouldn't even call a 50-year-old over the hill. 55, 60, you're getting there. But not in this day and age, dude. We take care of ourselves.

I agree with that statement. Anyways, move on. Let's move on. Let's rapid fire, dude, because we don't need to talk about our birthday. Who cares? No, we don't. Just another number. We don't.

But, you know, we're twins. It's kind of, isn't that fun? We have the same birthday. Isn't that neat? Isn't that something? And Q, we've celebrated like five birthdays during the course of this podcast. I think we would go back to 2018, right? when we started this thing?

Oh, shit. 2017 maybe? Yeah, I don't remember. We were 29 when we started this. Oh, is that? That's interesting. We were still in our 20s. I think that math doesn't check out.

So maybe, you know, this time in 2027, Q, we could talk about turning 40, climbing over that hill. But we're not there yet. We're not there yet. All right. All right. So, yes, rapid fire. As we always like to say. Yeah, well, you know what, this time we're serious.

All right, Q. Well, I'm going to start us off with a little indie band that I stumbled upon. Not sure how, but they're awesome. I just discovered these guys, never heard of them before. They're called High Viz. And they've got a really awesome, like 80s post-punk sound. And I'm just going to let the music speak for itself. So this song, by the way, they're not an 80s band, but they have that sound.

This record came out in 2019 called No Sense, No Feeling. And I'm going to play a track here called Walking Wires. And what a great mix of... Totally. Yes, 100%. Yeah, I mean, I think there's the song that I heard too from them, because they may have been on my Discover Weekly or something like that. But yeah, man, I was just like, man, this is solid. And the rest of the record is also, it doesn't all sound like that.

Like that, like you said, kind of like New Wave and Punk, right, post-punk. Some of it is more, more like, more hardcore punk, almost. But he's got that great voice and I love the guitar tone. Everything about it just sounds 80s, you know what I mean? Everything about it. Takes a lot of- boxes in my book. Yeah, it's great.

So again, that band was called High Viz. Recorded in a studio called Holy Mountain Studios in London. The reason I'm bringing that up is because some other bands that we are familiar with have recorded in that space, including Spiritualized, which we did a little sidetrack episode on them if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, I need to give them another lesson. They got lots of good stuff. And also a band that we talked about last month, Idels.

titles, yes sir. Yeah, and a bunch of other bands. Anyway, so yeah, check them out. Hi, Viz. That song was called Walking Wires off of their 2019 record. No sense, no feeling. I throw it to you, Q, what do you got?

All right, man, I've brought a track from this group before, and I just revisited their stuff and fell in love with them all over again. Trave, I've talked to you about them, like, off the mic as well a few times. Jurassic Shark, which is actually like, actually like one of those really crappy movies from like 2012 or something you know like killer killer shark nato or whatever stuff like that oh right yeah that's where they got it from surf punk kind of band similar to very similar to balkins you know that one band that holds a very special place in her heart i do know that band yeah yeah they were around for about four years or so

or at least that's the span of time that they released. Three records during. They've since broken up, but, man, just something about these guys, dude. Just these four dudes together, man, makes them really cool music. I brought a track, I don't remember how long ago, from their 2016 EP Blue School. And tonight I'm bringing one from their 2018,

record overflow. You may, just pick a track, this is a true no-filler group, I'd say. Every single one of their tracks are just killer. So, here we go. Jurassic Shark. This song is called Tell them. A Blasty Blast, cute.

That's Jurassic Shark, man, for you. That's one of those groups, like, you know, I talk about how, like, I've got certain kind of music I like to listen bright early morning drives. this is a night this is a night drive man crank crank these tunes up crack the windows and just fucking cruise man i love this group love it so what was the connection to balkans again i just think they sound very much like okay uh man yeah because the vocalist sounds so much so much like him frankie broils not him but yeah man same same exact like totally delivery

Yeah, they're a lot more math rocky than the Balkans were with that fast-paced kind of tarpick in there. Yeah, and the drummer is just a machine, you know, like, which I feel like it's kind of a necessity for a group like this. You've got to have a drummer with some chops and a bass player that can keep up with them. Yeah. Cool, man. I like that one. Yeah, love it. All right, man.

So I'm going to rapid fire it back to you. Look at us go, dude. Dude, I know. Booking it. Booking it. We're crushing it tonight, dude. We got stuff to do, you know. We got life to live, dude.

All right. Well, I'm going to slow things down a little bit. In terms of the groove, at least. So this is just a cool track. So it's a joint release by a couple of artists. One of them is named, or it goes by the gas lamp killer. Very familiar with him. Oh, you are?

Okay. Yeah, I love that his stuff. I haven't listened to any of his stuff in a while, but yeah. So he's like a producer DJ based on California. Yeah. He put out a record this year, a brand new record, with this music collective that goes by the heliocentrics. It's like a funk.

Heard of them too. Okay, well, you're going to love this, dude. Sweet. So they're like a funk jazz, psychedelic kind of collective. And yeah, that's what this song is, dude. It's like jazzy, funky. It's just awesome. So this track is of the brand new record by Gaslam Killer and Heliocentrics called Legna.

This song is called Punks. Wow, dude, this is the whole album. It just came out in May. So, do you want to talk about night drive music, nighttime music, man? Yeah. Yeah, and that's this thing like that, the Koto, like the Japanese kind of instruments, stringed instruments. Yeah, he does a lot of that. That was cool.

So apparently when Gaslamp, when GasLamp Killer Tours, he has a backing band with him. Nice. And he had the Heliocentrics as his backing band a few years ago. And that's how this happened. So let me read this little snippet here off the website. So it says here, the resulting album is a testament to the unique sound and influences of both GLK. Gaslimb killer. And the Heliocentrics, it is a prime example of the group's experimental approach to music.

Partnership showcases the heliocentric's ability to effortlessly blend genres, while GLK's ear for rare and eclectic sounds further cements his status as one of the most innovative producers around. So yeah, that's kind of what you were saying with the, like the eclectic instruments and stuff that you would introduce. Dude, towards the end there, when it was getting a little chaotic, I was reminded of some of the stuff that scalpel samples, like that acid jazz kind of stuff. Yeah. Yeah, totally. Anyway, check that out.

Brand new record by Gaslamp Killer and the Heliocentrics called Laganah. Toss it back over to you. All right. So I got to give a shout out to one of my local NPR stations up here. K and KX. Whoa. So you've moved on from K-E-X-T. You mean K-E-X-P?

K-E-X-P. I have not. But I've just started. tuning into this station quite a bit more because we have like this speaker system throughout our house. It's like probably from the 80s, maybe 70s. And it still works. We finally got the radio tuned on it. And this is a jazz station. And that's the first thing I tuned it to and I've just left it on there because it doesn't work great because it's ancient. And I got this one coming in crystal clear because their station is in Tacoma, which is not that far from where we live.

your home for jazz blues and NPR News. I love that. Rhymes. It rhymes. Well, I mean, of all the stations for it to work on, I think jazz is pretty cool. Well, and it's great, too, because you get your NPR, you get your news segments, too. It's not just music. It's pretty great.

It's pretty great. Yeah, it's in the mornings I tune in, I get my news, and then Darth's day, I can hear some jazz. And this is an artist named Brandi Younger. she's a harpist dude and she's like doing all kinds of cool stuff with the harp is this the first appearance of a harp on no filler like a straight up like harpist yeah I think so yeah probably for sure uh she infuses classical jazz soul and funk influences to the harp tradition I feel like that's a should be a nice segue from uh I think so man yeah this this track is killer dude so this is on her uh full-length album

that came out back in April of this year called Brand New Life. This song is called You're a Girl for One Man Only. I never knew I could rock out to a harp like that you. Dude, that instrument needs more love in this century. Yeah. The bass player killer, dude. Oh, yeah. Dude, you can tell that that guy holds it up real high.

Or it's an upright bass. It might be. But the people that those slapping the bass, man, they're always got it up tucked under their pits. You got to have it up there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What awesome track.

Yeah. I never knew that. I don't think I've ever heard of harp in a composition like that. You know what I mean? Well, she's been working tirelessly for years to bring it into the 21st century. Yeah. Okay. Cool.

Well, I like how it started with just your traditional kind of harp, milly kind of thing going on. drums just quietly came in. I feel like I was, you know, like the heaven's gates were open up. You're going to talk about your runway, your favorite thing? You'd like to have a nice one. No, no. Nope. I was just, I was going to say it made me think that like I was getting, I was getting lifted up into heaven or something by an angel.

The pearly gates. Yeah. Andy, that's the sound. She should be the greeter. I agree with that. All right, brother. So that was Brandy Younger. song was called You're a Girl for One Man Only.

Pass it on to you, Trave. What's you got? This is tough, Kew. Because this is a great opportunity for me to go do a full 360. But I wasn't planning on playing this track. But the opportunity is just there. And it's, I'm going to take it. So here we go.

Q, curious what you think about this. This is a, what I would call a thrash metal song. Okay. Okay. I see, I see, I see your eyes preparing them. I saw them. I'm a bit, I saw it happen in your face. I'm a bit guarded here. I don't want to get hurt again. Here's the thing of though. So many caveats that I have to put out of it. So this is a band called Drain and they are, I call them thrash metal because there's a lot of, a lot of this sound that kind of reminds me of bands like prong. And there's even some like, Pantara thrown in there a little bit. No, dude, I liked prong. I remember like it.

Okay. Kind of more like melodic thrash. I'm not going to say melodic grindcore. You just did. I said melodic thrash, dude. But this band also, they're a hardcore punk band that kind of infuses some thrash metal into their sound. And they're really cool. But this is, like I just say, we were floating in the sky with that harpist.

We're about to, now we're going to hell, dude. And this is what I'm here for. You know what I mean? To go to hell. Yeah, sure. To offer this up for the listeners, you know. Because you're not going to hear metal from Quentin ever. No, never.

That's what I'm here for. So anyway, this is a brand new album called Living Proof. Came out in May. And this song, I'm just going to play the whole thing because it's short and sweet. Here we go. So again, this band is called Drain. This song is called Evil Finds Light. You know, I did.

I like this. I loved it. I will never listen to it. We've arrived at our destination. I like, you know, I guess. It's just a good time. You know what I mean? You want to talk about just short, sweet, high energy, comes at you fast. That guy's breaking sticks, man. That guy's breaking 12 sticks a night. You think so?

I think so. I mean, sometimes you just got to yell, you know, and that's what meddles for, yelling. thrashing moshin moshin thrashen yeah just having a good old time anyway so that band was called drain

that was a track called Evil Finds Light off of their brand new record Living Proof check it out if you like to have a good time all right cute no one's going to argue with that you can't

we're just making this might be our fastest or our shortest episode. This might be our shortest what you heard format episode, Kew, ever. I think we should be proud of that. Because those drag on, dude. Usually they're like over an hour. Yeah, it helps when the songs are like just at two minutes long too. Yeah. But anyway. All right. What do you got, Q? Well, this next track that I'm playing is six minutes long. I'm not going to play the whole thing. So don't know. All right. We can't go one month without giving a shout out to the Shugay Subreddit.

Oh, are you going to play this? guy? I'm actually going to play one of his songs. That's funny because I watched this video. You did? Oh, that's awesome, dude. What do you think? I liked it.

Me too, man. So this guy's handle on Reddit is Octopunk. He goes by Puddle Noir. What a cool one. Yeah, that's a good one. And he posted himself just kind of doing like a jam session brainstorming, like a minute and a half of him just brainstorming. some ideas in his bedroom.

And he called it sock gazing, which I thought was clever because he was just hanging out. He wasn't wearing shoes. He wasn't wearing him. And I loved it, dude. So I hopped onto his profile page, if you want to call it that, on Reddit and just scrolled down just to see, you know, he posted any of his tracks.

He's got a few little EPs that he's released over this past year. He's got a few from 2021, 22. So he's, you know, he's releasing stuff. And it's really good stuff, dude. Really cool shoegaze. Well, he's got the right guitar for it. He's playing a Jazzmaster, which is like one of the staple shoegays guitars.

Yeah, I'll just read this because someone was asking him, like, what gear are you using? So for gearheads, I'll just read it. Oh, nice. I have everything going through a Mackey mix, 12, which is where the revert, is coming from. For pedals,

usually the bright hall setting, if you want to know what setting he uses. For pedals, I'm using the Oceans 11 for reverse, for reverse reverb, orange fur coat for fuzz, and a polychrome for flanger. I think it's funny that,

I mean, I guess the question was kind of phrased at like what effect pedals are used. But I think it's funny that he doesn't mention his guitar because everybody, who's a fan of you guys, knows what guitar is.

All they care about is the pedals. Yeah, and yeah, what's the effects? Pedals are more important for shoeges, yeah, for sure. Yeah. But anyway. All right, so I'm going to bring a track from a little single he released back in April. So this is distortion, Treve, but it's not like the distortion that you brought, you know.

It's like on the whole other, it's on a different branch of the tree, you know, shoegaze. There's a wide spectrum of distortion available to us. And this guy's bringing the fuzz and all that other stuff that I just told you from all those pedals that he uses. All right. This song is called Lucky Lucy. There's a solid Shoeguage track What I like about it is

You can tell it's a bedroom track Yeah It's a guy with You know like a drum Drum machine Or probably just You know Whatever program he's using

Like reason or Cakewalk or whatever those other I don't even know if that's used anymore But Man that's an old one Right right It's probably a nightmare Anyway

But yeah Something I just thought about while listening to this and, you know, seeing his video on Reddit and just kind of knowing who this guy is, right? I feel like shoegaze, aside from maybe the investment, you got to put in to get some pedals and stuff, is like the most, like, accessible, like, with an easy barrier to entry for somebody who just wants to make some shoegaze. I feel like it's easy. It lends itself well to, like, bedroom pop artists that are just out there with a guitar at some pedals in your voice and you can make some really good shoe guys you know yeah you can get some

awesome sounds with those with those pedals you got to get those pedals yeah you got to buy the pedals but i mean you know you know just get those get those settings right turn on the bright hall or whatever you call it and you can throw together some shoegays you know i loved it man um i think he had like he's got like a noa linux voice a little bit hmm which is different for a shoegaze I can see that. Yeah. Yeah. I love me.

I hope he keeps doing it. I hope he keeps doing it. Good stuff. Puddle Noir is his name. Lucky Lucy was the track. You got any shoegays tonight, Triff? I don't. Oh, man.

Okay. I'm glad I was able to get one in. We got to have at least one shoeguice song per episode. We're required to, yeah. All right. This is tough here because I've got some overflow here. So I got to determine what to do next. All right.

I'm going to go with my gut. I'm going to play a track from a little indie group called Wombo that I just found out about. There are three piece out of Louisville, Kentucky. I think we've talked about our love of three pieces in the past, Q. Oh, yeah. We've brought that up many times. Yeah. There's lots of great three pieces out there.

And here's another one. So again, these guys are called Wombo. And I'm going to play a track. Is that Wamba number five? Beautiful. Maybe. A little bit of Jessica or whatever in my life. I don't remember any of those.

What a goofy song. Can you believe? Let's just talk about Mama number five for a second. That was what? Middle School for us? Probably. But it's the fact that that like. In my life charted, you know, and was a huge.

Man, that was a weird time. For that was a weird time, too. It was. For music. It was a really weird time. Yeah, it was. Anyway, so I want to play the self-titled track. Didn't you bring a track from them?

Like, not that long ago? No, you're thinking of another three piece. Okay. Yeah, when I saw that group shot, I don't know why it looks like the other group that you brought. I think it's the same, the same makeup of individuals. But one guy with a mustache long hair. Yeah. And I think one of them was wearing a beanie.

Yeah. Yeah. Let me find out what that band was called. Maybe that was last year. There it is, dude. Go back up. Face. No,

no, Swoon. That's what I was thinking of. No, no, that's not the band I was thinking of. That's a two piece. The band I was thinking of,

I think was on my, it was on the best of of 2020. It's fun. Hey, we're supposed to be rapid fire and Trevor. We're losing it. We're getting out track. Well, okay.

All right. So this band, again, it's called Wombo. And I'm playing a track off of their EP called Kish Mountain. This song is called Dream Sickle. Just terrific. Just solid, right? Nothing to complain about it. I love the guitar. The guitar breakdown in the middle was great. That's like very strokesy, interpol. Mm-hmm. Just in all the right ways. But very, this is very almost more, what's the word, cue that we learned about and applied to discover that it applied to a lot of bands. Tweed pop, jangle pop.

Tweed, Tweed. Tweet. Yeah. Tweet. Yeah. Kind of Tweet. Yeah. Exactly.

So, yeah, not the same energy as Interpol and strokes. You know, these guys are a little bit more high energy. But yeah, I hear what you're saying. Just a, you know, solid indie guitar sound, right? Yeah. Love it, man. Great sound. That was Wombo, and that song was called Dream Sickle.

And I'm going to throw up to you, Q. All right. So, you know, K&KX brings jazz, but they also bring blues. And I mentioned I've been listening to a lot of K&KX. So I'm going to bring a blues track that I heard off the station sometime last week, I think. So this is an artist named Valerie June. She blends full. Is this another harpist?

It's not. She's a singer and she's frigging great dude. This song just got me, man. You know, it's just one of the get you. Right in the fields. Okay. Folk, soul, blues, and traditional appellation elements.

This is just a straight-up classic like country blues song. You got Mitchell's attention. Yeah, if he said, hopefully you're still listening, man. Shout out to our old pal of Mitch. Love you, bud. Yeah, honestly, I thought this song came out way earlier than it did.

The album was released in 2017. It's called The Order of Time. This song is called Slip, Slide on By. I felt some things. Great voice, man. Great voice. I love the recording. Like, it's just so crisp.

Just really good, man. Really good you. Sounds like she went through some heart at cue. Just slip slide on by, man. Is she talking about time? Is she talking about a person? I don't know, dude. It really makes you think.

Gather your heart from the floor. I think she's talking about a person. Okay. Ever still, never run. Just slips light on time. You know what, dude, I've fallen in love with radio again. Wow. Got to say.

So it's not dead. It's not dead. I thought video killed it back in the 80s. No, they killed the radio star. Right, okay. Fair enough. Anyways, man, yeah, that's great. And I love the, you know, I love the segments they have mixing jazz and blues.

It's a good blend of tunes. And it's always blues at night. It's not just like flipping throughout the day. Sure. Yeah. Anyways, thank you, K&KX for bringing me tunes in the morning. Yeah, I'm sure they're listening to this. Hey, you know what?

Maybe an intern is. You ever know? Yeah. All right, so that was Valerie June. slip, slide on by. Travis, you got one last pick. What you got? So I've got a killer track, Q,

from an 80s post-punk gothic rock band that I stumbled upon. Sweet. Called The Sound. This particular song came out for their 1981 record from the lion's mouth. So this group was, you know, it got compared,

they got compared a lot to Joy Division, echoing the bunny men, that type of 80s sound, right? And they were like kind of expected to blow up and become as big as those other two groups, but they just never, never did for whatever reason. But man, these two records that they put out, at least the two that I've listened to, the one that came out prior to this one in 1980 called Jeopardy, just really solid, dude, really great stuff.

So here we go. I'm just going to jump right into this here. Again, this band is called The Sound. and this track is called the fire. And what were the circumstances behind them not blowing one awesome track? That's the, uh, basically the entire bio on their Spotify is kind of devoted to that exact question queue. Um, they're basically saying like, uh, nobody knows why.

So it says here, while most of the sound's records weren't released in the U.S., maybe that's why, No American record executive can take any blame. They can simply point to the fact that the sound were merely respectable unit shifters, a prototypical cult act in their homeland of England, so they wouldn't have fared well across the pond. So either way, so what's important about this record, Q, is if you listen to their first one, Jeopardy, and then you listen to this one, this one sounds a little bit more polished, right? And that's because they partnered with a producer named Hugh Jones.

And the reason that that guy is important is he just did a ton of really well-known 80s records. He did have an appear by Echo and the Buddy Men. Susie in the band's Tenderbox, modern English, simple binds, all these iconic 80s bands, right? Yeah. So there you go. I mean, that's another reason, right? Like, okay, well, they put out a second record with this great producer. Like, yeah, why didn't it take off, you know?

But that's, yeah, this is one of my favorite things, dude. I love stumbling on to 80s, 80s bands that I've never heard of or 90s bands that I've ever heard of. Yeah, because, dude, 80s music, like at the surface level is what, Oringo Boongo. Dude, I fucking love Bongo. Oh, I'm sorry. Duran Duran, you know. Yeah, yeah.

Or if you don't dig deep, you're, you're. You've got a whole different idea of what 80s music is. Yeah, but I mean, I have a soft spot for those bands, too, like all those. Sure, me too. One hit wonders and stuff of the 80s. But yeah, there's so many bands out there that like the sound. It's kind of the same with like 90s music. Yes, totally.

You've got your handful of bands that you just think of, right, that you associate with 90s. But we spent almost all of last year diving into 90s music. Yeah. And it's just a plethora of good tunes. treasure trove. All over the place in sound. Travis, I got a real treat for you. Okay.

To wrap us up. I'm excited. Stoked. Real treat. Stoked. Did you know that Catherine Wheel just released remasters of the band's earliest EPs? There's two of them.

Spring of 91, a year before their debut ferment came out. No, I did not know them. Is this the Norfolk remaster? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow, dude, I'm stoked. Yeah, I've only listened to a few of the tracks

on Painful Thing, which is one of the two. The other one is she's my friend. Yeah, so this is their early stuff, huh? This is before their debut. Okay, wow, dude, I'm stoked. Yeah, I'm setting my face to stunned. Okay, ready. All right, so this is off of their

91 EP Painful Thing This song is called Spin Yeah, that just brought a smile In my face, Q It doesn't get any better Doesn't

I was spinning That's You know, that's really interesting Because, you know, So we did an episode On their record, Chrome We did two records, I think.

I think we did Chrome and Ferment. I think you brought some tongs from Ferment too. I, yeah, I definitely brought some songs from for men. I don't know if we did an episode on it though, but maybe we did.

Maybe you played a few just to show. Yeah, I think I did. Here's their debut. Here's what they did with Chrome. Yeah, right. Probably most of the time on Chrome. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, so like when I was digging into them a little bit more for that episode and stuff.

And yeah, when you listen to them, it's apparent, like when you listen to those two records, like they sort of made their own unique sound by mixing. new wave grunge and shoegades like that's ultimately what their sound became but when you listen to this earlier stuff it was more like straight shoe gates that's so good but you can hear some of that new wave stuff start to creep in a little bit and you know the funny thing is grunge probably hadn't happened yet 91 chef right there's okay right one okay all right so right there yeah so anyway by the time uh chrome came out and ferment to uh 92 well up you're right around the corner in 1993,

they really kind of perfected their sound. And we were in the thick of grunge at that point. Yeah. But yeah, Fremint, that song texture on Fremant is, yeah, the song texture, the first opening track on Fremant is one of my favorite tracks from the 90s. I love that song. Yeah, awesome.

I'm going to have to cue these up. It's, yeah. That's great. I wonder if they're, I wonder if they're being pressed. I bet who they are. It says digital release. Well, you never know. All right.

That's fine. Well, awesome. Yeah, a good way to close the episode out. Good tunes tonight, man. Really good tunes. Yeah. And, you know, even though we rapid fired, we still got right around the one hour mark. So that's just our sweet spot.
