man I just need an Ivy bag hook me up straight to the veins dude yeah I know man they're just so freaking smooth dude you know what I mean I know I mean yeah they're just such a perfect trio yeah we love a good trio around here

as we like to say. And, you know, these guys are from Houston. So that's where we're from, Q. Yeah, man. But man, yeah. So I confess, I haven't listened to this record all the way through yet, but I've listened to a good chunk of it. And yeah, it's just so like, they're pretty consistent with like their sound, you know.

But I feel like this is really like, like, you know, this is like the essence of Cronman. You know what I mean? It's just like straight up. no fusses, you know, no, no frills or whatever. Yeah, yeah. So I heard a really great interview with Laura Lee and DJ on NPR a couple weeks back. So Laura Lee's the bass player, DJ's the drummer, yeah.

So, yeah, the way they put it in this interview, by they, I mean, the host. Yeah, the host of the show, the way they put it was. they're going back to their building blocks with this sound on a la what is it? Alasala. On ala sala. Which is just instrumental mentalities, you know? Yeah, yeah. Smooth, low-key.

And it really does sound that way, too, like just stripped down. And that's the thing. Like, they've always been really simple of their stuff, you know. But like, yeah, it just sounds. Yeah. Yeah, man. They spent the last few years, like collaborating with a lot of different artists, you know, They bring in that really great collab with Leon Bridges.

Yeah, they, I also brought that one great record. They show up on with Volfarca Torre. Oh, yeah. Apologies for that pronunciation. That album called Allie, which was phenomenal. But yeah, they kind of have just been all over the place with collabs. And also, Mordecai was way more like, almost like a disco dance record, which came out in 2020.

So yeah, this one's bringing us back to their roots. And I love it, man. I'm all for it. Yeah, that's great. And even like the guitar tone is just like really clean. And, you know, he's always had a pretty straightforward guitar sound. But I'm just saying like it just sounds so like stripped down. Right.

Right. And let's just preface this by saying that we're recording this one very, very early. So if you guys can tell. Yep. That we're not even through our first cup of coffee. Apologies. I haven't even had coffee yet, man. Oh, man.

And I'm not going to be able to drink one until after this episode. Because, you know, I don't have a button. I can just go push, Q. My coffee process is drawn out. Sure, sure. Trabb, do you actually have the little rake? Do you rake your, you don't, you're not doing espresso. You're not doing.

No, no. I'm working my way to an espresso machine, though, Q. Okay. One thing I thought was cool that was brought up in the interview here was that, and I think I mentioned this in our last episode, they usually record in a barn in Texas. Their last few records were recorded in a barn. And you can hear lots of nature sounds on their albums. But for Alasala, they were in a quiet studio.

And Laura Lee says that they actually were pumping like cricket sounds and birds, bird sounds into their ears. So they could still feel and hear nature. And she says that like, so Lee says they provide a scene, a scenery that you don't necessarily want to play over. Like you're playing a certain way because you're playing with the birds. You're almost interacting with them. Yeah.

So that's cool. I could picture like maybe she wants to be a little bit softer on this baseline because she's here you know she's talking with the birds because they're out in nature yeah they don't disrupt nature that's yeah it's interesting that's a really cool idea yeah i mean if they're used to that surrounding you know right it makes sense that like you know something's off i don't hear any birds can we get some birds in my ear that's awesome right in a super quiet studio when they're used to record in a barn right that's cool yeah ala sala album dropped earlier this month and Yeah, if you're a Cronven fan, there's no reason not to listen to this one all the way through.

It's more of the same, but it's not just like a recycled material, you know? Like they're always changing their sound. It's like spoon was for the longest time, right? Spoon record is a spoon record through and through, but it's always worth listening to. All right, so that's how we're kicking off April's What You heard, our monthly mixtape where we each bring five songs to the table, just tunes we've been listening to in between recordings. And, yeah, Trave, I think you get to kick us off today.

All right, Q. I'm going to kick us off with some vapor wave. Oh, man. I haven't listened to vapor wave in a while. And this is more, you know, I feel like in the spectrum of vapor wave. you know there's there's the really like the saxophone heavy kind of you know stylings of vapor wave where it's it's almost like it sounds like a you know there's a kinny g sample in the background and it's elevator music there yeah yeah there's that version of it and then i think

there's kind of i feel like you know the world between synthwave and vapor wave there's there's a lot of crossover there, you know, for sure. So this is maybe a little bit more, you know, flirting with vapor wave or some sort of hypnagogic lo-fi situation. Anyway, so this artist, he goes by the name of Moon B, and this is a record called Two, or at least it's the Roman numeral two. And this song is called Green Sky. And this stuff always makes me think of like, I can picture your home movies from like the 80s and 90s. Yeah. You know, this particular track has a little bit of funk to it,

maybe a little disco to it as well. Like with the beats and the baseline and stuff like that. But yeah, you know, a good vapor wave track here and there. Never going to hurt anybody, you know. It reminds me of that mall soft stuff, which is such a funny name for genre. But John Mint. You remember I brought a few tracks from him

A few years back Yeah I remember that Yeah And dude it's like you could It's like when you're listening to it It's almost like you're looking At everything through An old VHS tape

Where you got to you know Fix the tracking Yeah There's like a yeah there's a warmth to it For some reason too That's like the analog synth situation I think But um Yeah man

It's just You gotta mix it in a little bit If you're listening to some electronic music, you know, go sneak in every April Whip track here and there just to kind of keep things loosey and light. I don't know what I'm saying, but, you know, you've been in the headspace, you've been in an electronic music headspace, right? I have, yeah. Is that still where you're at? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, dude.

All right, man, I'm going to switch it up. It's still early. It's super early in the neck of this woods. Wait. That works, man. I'll leave that in. We need some heavy rock, man. Yeah, man, let's do it.

We need to wake us up. All right, have you heard of a band called Glitterer? No. Glitterer. All right, cool, man. So, this is actually a fairly new little three-track EP dropped in January this year. Here we go. This is glitterer.

The song is called Planned. plastic. Okay, Kiyos, I was reading his little short bio on on Wiki. So he's actually, he was the bass player for the band Title Fight. Do you remember those guys? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, apparently Title Fight is no more, which I didn't realize.

So they don't make the music anymore, which is why he's, that guy's name is Ned Russon, by the way. So that's why he started making music under the name Glitterer. But yeah, I feel like it's interesting because title fight was really kind of like almost like hardcore punk kind of stuff. Yeah. So this is different. This is kind of like, you know, if it's just him, I don't know if he's going solo here, but this is kind of more straightforward rock. You know, bedroom rock, maybe bedroom pop a little bit if it's just him.

A little emo. And then that synth came out of nowhere. I'm not expecting that. I'm trying to figure out if he has a roster of it really is just him, like doing everything here. Well, it says here, yeah, it sits for a long time it was just a man and his laptop. Yeah. Yeah, so his first four records were like that. It was just a one guy thing.

Okay, so maybe he's branched out. Yeah, now he's got four charter members writing and recording songs and performing them at shows together. Yeah, so he's got an entourage of, you know, band members to make it work live. So yeah, man, that was glitterer. Wake us up a little bit. Pass it back to you once you get. All right, Q, I'm going to keep us,

keep our eyes peeled here. Make sure we stay awake. So I got another rock song here. Man, all I could say is be prepared to get your face melted, Q, just with this guitar work by this guy. So this band, I've never. really heard of them before a couple days ago when I stumbled

upon this track. So it's a group that goes by the name World News and this song, man, I've never heard anybody play quite like Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. But this guy,

you know, he's channeling him for sure. Is Mark Knopfler still alive? I shouldn't say channeling. Yes, yes. Okay. All right. Yeah. He's playing and playing and paying cue.

Omage to Mr. Markovler. Playing homage. I like that. Yeah. You see what I did right there? I'm awake. All right. So again, this song, well, this band, I should say, is world news.

This song is called Rapped in Gold. Yeah, you don't often hear, you know, the guitar front and center on. a little indie track like that, you know. Yeah, and that one, dude, you're right. Channeling Mark and Offler. A little bit, yeah. So the guitar player, his name is Alex Evans, by the way. Just to shout him out.

A lot of stuff going on in that song. Little, you know, kind of has kind of some 80s flair to it a little bit here and there. Some like, you know, 2010s era indie rock as well. But again, this is just a little tiny little single they put out last year called wrapped in gold. Again, that band was called World News. And I'm going to pass it over. Back to you, Kiyo.

Are you going to keep the volume high so that we can stay awake here? Hmm. No, dude. I'm not. Okay. That's fine. You know what? Now I'm going to go in the opposite direction.

You know, we got to mix things up. You know, that's part of the, part of the show. That's right. So I think you've been keeping up with Beach House a little bit closer than I have of the You know, I still haven't listened to really anything from their new record. I haven't either. But this is an album from 2018 that, like, I heard it on a TV show. It's called Shrill.

It's got 80 Brian from S&L in it. Awesome show. Oh, yeah. I've seen a couple episodes. Yeah, it's funny. Yeah, really great. It's all about body positivity. And I heard the song, I shazamed it.

And then I pulled it up in the album cover. was not familiar to me at all. So this is Beach House's seven. Have you heard any stuff from this record? Okay. I probably, you know, I probably sampled, you know, here and there. Just more of the same.

You know, they put Dream Pop bag on the map queue. Yeah, man, they do it so well. And this is just another example of that. So here we go. This is track nine off of seven from Beach House. The song's called Woo. I feel like they're just one of the staples

of indie music for the last like, you know, 10 or so years, you know, like they're just so consistent. They're consistent. And they've dropped a lot of stuff, man. And like, I can't keep up with it. Like this one, I didn't even know this, the song existed. Yeah. And what was it last year?

It was when they put out once twice melody, right? Once twice melody. And that was a pretty. Wasn't that a double album? Yeah, I think it was a double album? Like didn't they release half, half of it? Yeah. Yeah. So to your point, like they just, they're just very prolific, you know. It's a little, you know, it's, it's different than Teen Dream, you know, so they have definitely.

Oh, yeah, man, definitely. That was 14 years ago. Yeah. Teen Dream was, you know, very, still very, like, just kind of, almost had a lo-fi fuzziness to it. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like, that's the thing. Like, they've, they've just polished their sound and, and just brought like more clarity to it over the years, you know. Yeah, good stuff. All right, man. You're going to wake us back up or are we going to stay in this vibe? Yes, I'm going to wake us back up. Because, you know, dream pop, put you in a slumber sometimes. It's got the word dream in it, man. That's the joke I'm trying to make.

Oh. But you know what? You know what wakes you up, Q? Tell me. A good old-fashioned neosecule. Neopsychedelic. It's one of the many genres associated with this group called Elephant Nine. Have you heard of them before?

Not ringing bells. Elephant Nine? Elephant nine. Yeah. So let me read their little buyer here because this is this I need to say no more than this here. And this is one sentence, by the way. Norwegian progressive neo-psychedelic jazz rock trio, Elephant Nine. So here's another trio.

First of all, have we done nothing about trios today? Let's reflect. Besides the vaporway. Crombin, a glitterer is just one dude. Okay, glitters is one dude. This is a trio. World News is a trio. So this is the episode of trios here, which is great.

Well, dude, there you go. There's your title. There it is. Something clever about trios. So Elephant 9, they exist in an ever-evolving musical collision of mid-70s, Miles Davis, weather report Tony Williams' lifetime, King Crimson, and Hawkwind. Whoa.

Filtered through an anarchic yet canny expression of technological and improvisational futurism. Good Lord. That can range from harmonic and funky to dissonant, blaring, and sprawling. The reason I said, need I say more? Because like I said, that was one sentence, cute. My gosh, man.

But one thing that I really thought was interesting now, Hang on, Weather Report mixed with King Crimson and Miles Davis? King Crimson, yeah, mid-70s Miles Davis is the specific, they wanted to specify this very specific era of Miles Davis. Hawkwind, too, is another very, very kind of iconic, like psychedelic band. But anyway, yeah, need this to say, Q you. I'm just going to let the music play for itself. One thing that I will say about this record or this band, not this record that I'm going to play a track from,

but you're going to love this, dude. They have collaborated on a couple of albums with the guitar player from Doongan. The Doongan guitar player has shown up. Man, that's another band I haven't thought about in a while. Yeah. So apparently, so the guitar player, I'm talking about Rain Fisk. Actually, I'll bring him up later. I'll bring him up later for a very specific read.

All right. So here we go. This is a brand new album. This dropped literally two days ago. at least on the day of this recording. So this is a album called Mythical River. So again, the band is called Elephant Nine. This track is called Star Cluster Detective.

I had me feeling like I was inside the lava lamp. You're just floating around? You know, this little blobs floating around. That's all right. Bouncing around. Dude, that was awesome, man. And this, I have a weird, my brain does a weird thing with jazz and classical music too. We're like, I have to always remind myself that people are still doing this.

Does that make sense? Like I listen to, you know, if I'm listening to the, you know, the classical, the classical station, you know, the song's over. And then the DJ pops in and it's like, and that's a brand new song from whatever orchestra. I'm like, huh? Yeah, I hear you. Wait, that was, this wasn't like a, you know, re-recorded song from freaking Beethoven or something? Yeah, yeah. I don't know why.

And same with jazz. Yep. And it's, well, I mean, in this particular band, they sound, they sound like they're from the 70s. Dude, that was very Miles Davis, yeah. Yeah. And that's, that's more with like the drumming that goes along with that jazz. Right. You know, like, you know, it's like, it's like the backbone is rock, but it's jazz.

Yeah. Well, the main way that they describe themselves is a progressive rock band and a jazz rock band. And that's basically it. Right. But that's King Crimson, yes. Yeah, exactly. So another Dungen tie-in here is they actually used the, he used to be a producer for Dungen, produced this record. So there's obviously, you know, a lot of collaboration between those two groups.

But yeah, this is, again, the band is from Norway. Dungen is from Sweden. I was just looking to see if maybe they're from like the same neck of the woods or whatever, but they are not. But anyway. But yeah, it, you know, this was, again, this record came out like two days ago, April 19th. So, you know, a few weeks ago by the time of this drops. But it was awesome. Brands make a new track. And it's like, yeah, it feels like it's from a different decade, you know, different era. But yeah, really solid album. Like the whole thing, it's one of those just press playing kind of start floating in the lava lamp you know because the whole record is like that

sweet so again that was uh elephant nine the track was called star cluster detective off of their brand new record mythical river and i'm going to pass it back to you queue where we going all right man so as i've mentioned i've been searching for all things like four on the floor electronic music. I like to find the sweet spot cue where it's like it's got the four on the floor bass drum, but it's not like a, I'm not at a rave, you know what I mean? Right. There's more like that, the IDM kind of situation going on.

Yeah, and in this case, I'm actually using that, not literally in this case. I don't think there's four on the floor in this one. All right. But you know what? That's the vibe. A driving beat. Yeah. Yeah. And what we're going to do here, Tram, is we're going to play a song off of Toska's Suzuki.

Hey, I love it. Don't you? But then, and then we're going to go back and play the remixed, dubbed version from Suzuki and Dub. Did you ever listen to that, Tref? No. Well, I believe they, it's not like remixed by other people on that record. It's just, it's a continuous mixed version of Suzuki. So here we go.

So this one's going to be, you know, near and dear. And for long-time listeners, they're going to be probably familiar with this song. So this one is, so again, this is from Suzuki, Toska's record from 2000. This song is called Ananas. It's like banana without the bee, Anana. Yeah, Ananas. There we go. No one does it better than Toska.

Yeah, this is our, like the foundations of our love. Fascination, love with down to the music, yeah. Like this is the, this is one of the records too that I just. This is it. Yeah. Or like this is like formative for me, like musically in terms of like. For sure. Just, you know, getting exposed to a whole different style and vibe of music.

Because, yeah, we grew up on rock. we grew up on classic rock and we grew up on 90s rock and then and like I feel like we stumbled upon this kind of music around the same time I think we've told this story a billion times but oh yeah but yeah Tosca is just one of those groups that like I just you can't can't I can't get enough of them you know I listen to I listen to Suzuki at least once a month man once a month wow yeah but like yeah forever once a month for no I mean just probably probably since I started working it AWS. Gotcha, got you.

Yeah, yeah. All right, dude, so here is their dub version of that song. There's actually three different versions of this song on Suzuki and Dub. This is one of them. It's called the Yuko Dub. Here we go. Damn near perfect, Q. I love when they switched up,

but that almost sounded like the Walk This Way drumbeat or something like that. It was very, like, rock. Oh, you know what, dude? That's like the Run DMC collab. That's what I, yeah, that's what I was talking about. But yeah, dude, that was great, man. And you know what? Yeah, really cool.

The funny thing is I don't, as much as I love Tosca, I don't know that I've ever listened to the Suzuki and Dub record all the way through. Well, I take back what I said earlier. This actually, these are for sure remixes from other artists because I see DeZion and Kamian. Oh, yeah. That's another big group. So this is an artist named, what? Uco. as Suzuki.

So, you know, shortly after the album came out, they dropped the Suzuki and dub, which is cool. Yeah, my favorite part of that track, dude, is the, I mean, the little counts in the, the, you know, just the vocals are really cool.

Well, I like what, I like what this artist did with it. Yeah. Yeah, some more love for Tosca and Suzuki with a little dubbed version of, one of my favorites off the record, Ananus, and I'm going to pass it back to U-True. What you get? All right. Just track four for you?

Yes. So I feel like this has been a pretty chill episode, Kear, and I'm going to keep it chill. And we're going to have another throwback here, Q. So when I was listening to Elephant Nine, I saw that a, you might also like artist that was mentioned. First of all, Key, let me just have a... give a shout out to the music streaming app title. Have you heard of it? Like a title wave? No. Is that what you're using right now? I'm using that right now. And I've loved it. Yeah, I thought it looked a little different, dude. It looks like he's got flack. Yes, it has,

it has higher quality audio. But the interface itself is just awesome. So shout out to Adrian, who has been on this show before, my co-worker and also, you know, musician. He, was telling me about it. And so it's the same exact price per month as Spotify and the artists get more money from the streams and I, you know, did higher quality audio and like the interface is just better. Anyway, that's a win-win. It is. So I was, yeah, I was listening to kind of like one of their mixes or something like that for Elevent Nine and Jag a Jazzist came up. Whoa. Man, I saw those. I saw your eyebrows just go through the roof right there. They raised so much. Dude, I've I'm going to play a track off their first record, a living room hush.

And yeah, man, what more it needs to be said? So this group, and, you know, Elephant Nine was like prog rock, jazz rock. What made Jaga Jazz is so interesting is they, they mix to like jazz and electronic music pretty well, you know. Really well. And they're from Norway as well. So this is back-to-back Norwegian. Nice. Jazz Fusion, if you want to kind of lump it under there.

Probably not, though. Let's not call it Jazz Fusion. I feel like Jazz Fusion means one very particular thing. But, you know, mixing jazz with another genre. I'll just put it that way. All right. So here we go. I don't know if we've ever played Jag of Jazzes before on this podcast, which is kind of shocking.

Yeah, that's surprising. Yeah. All right. So here we go. This song is called Real Race Cars Have Doors. I mean, they do like experimental jazz palatable way. There's some kind of, you know, like acid jazz and whatever. even parts of bitches brewer I can't stand you know what I mean when the the horns and the trumpets are

just all yeah sex fun just all over the place it's like what are you even doing yeah these guys do it in a way that's just I mean it's just perfect dude I love jag jazzist yeah and this this album came out 23 years ago it's crazy but yeah man you know it's not all shoegaze and grunge around here all the time you know what I mean like this episode has been interesting mix of tunes. And you know what, dude? I'm going to bring a shoegis song next. All right.

Well, you know, we got to recalibrate it every once in a while. But yeah, anyway, so that was Jagget, Jazzist. Just an awesome, awesome group. They've been around forever. I would say, you know, the two records that I remember the most was that one, a living room hush, and then the sticks, the one that came out the following year. Yeah, that's the one I really love. Yeah, man.

They have that back-to-back track day. another day that yeah yeah dude you remember that and there's an incredible yes i watched it last night dude and i was like damn man these guys were yeah yeah all right so anyway again so that that track that particular track was called real race cars have doors off of their 2001 record debut record a living room hush again that band was called jaga jazzist i'm going to throw back to you cue let's get some shoe gaze up in here let's do it man all right so I have just now discovered that Ban Camp has an awesome blog, dude. And they're doing it old school like we used to do on New Dust.

Yeah, so take a look at this, dude. So I'm just scrolling through this is. So you go to their blog and you click on lists and they have, you know, things like elevating the underground, the 70s New York City loft jazz scene. Exploring Japanese net label deep cuts. What else we got? Hello. A peek into the world of Indonesian indie pop.

So it's like a little niche genres. That's cool, man. Yeah, yeah. 90s ambient, diving even deeper. Wow. 90s ambient. 90s ambient. Yeah.

The best sound poetry on band game. And then look, dude. Older posts, newer posts. got that old school music blog vibe. This reminds me of Nudus. Yeah, that's cool, man. All right, so older posts, rare shoegaze jams from all eras unearthed. Hello.

Dude, speaking our language. Yeah, and right off the bat, dude, sun kissed, guitar. That's the first one on there. Well, we already unearthed that one a couple months back. Okay, Van Cam. No joy, wait to pleasure. Dude. You just brought.

Okay, does this person listen to this show? I'm wondering, the person who wrote this article, because these are two tracks I think have been played this year on No Filler. Yep, yep. So anyways, man, scrolling through this. Yeah, so I, you know, click play on each one. Dude, those illustrations are awesome, man. Aren't they cool?

That's really cool. Yeah, anyways. Knife play. Have you heard of a band called Knife Play? Yeah, that's ringing bells, dude. All right, well, you're going to like this description. intro. Hailing from Philadelphia, knife play sits somewhere between shoegaze's modern down-tempo sound and the aforementioned bands with more experimental production. So affirmation bands,

the bands that they were, you know, earlier in this post they were talking about. Utilizing blaring saxophone, feedback, and acoustic instrumentation. Yeah. This one's interesting, dude. Well, you know what? It's you guys through and through. Let's put that way. And I think it leans more towards the dream pop side of things. You're going to love it. Here we go. Knife play. This is from their 2022 record

Animal Drowning. This track is called Lonely Sun. That's beautiful. I love it. Good stuff, right? And like I feel like the bass had a little bit of like grunge flare to it. 90s rock flare to it.

You know, I think they're, you know, I just feel like they're kind of nodding toward the 90s a little bit. But yeah, I love the, yeah, I love the juxtaposition of the voice and the, and that kind of more like up front guitar, bass sound. Yeah, and they threw in a saxophone too. Yeah, that was, that was awesome. Check out the band camp blog, man. They're doing it right.

And, I mean, you talk about a website that has just, I mean, thousands upon thousands of like really underground. Oh, yeah. Songs, you know, underground artists because it's, yeah, it's, it's, there's, there's no like limitations on, on who can share their music on Bankham. So it's really cool. And these people that, that write for the blog are just digging, digging through. All right, Triv, last pick for the day.

What you got? Have you heard of Sun Kill Moon? Okay. I have, but I haven't given them a good listen. So, you know, sometimes a track will just, you know, stop you in your tracks, Q. A track will stop you in your tracks. Wow. And it's one of those songs, man, where, you know, it starts to play and then it gets to the chorus.

And then I find myself like, oh, you know what, let me stop and actually pay attention to this because this is like, this is awesome what I'm hearing right here. and this song is just beautiful man it is a folk rock act is probably the best way to describe some kill moon and this song is it might be their most popular song so if you know this band you know this song i think this is maybe a perhaps a single but um this is off of their their debut record so what's interesting about this group is that um it it formed out of another group that I've heard of and listened to a few tracks of Red House Painters. Have you heard of them?

Oh yeah, dude. Okay. We brought them, I think, on our first Kings of Convenience. Okay. So were they like the side track? No, I don't think so. It's just we played some of their stuff because that was apparently a huge influence on on Ireland and I reckon.

Okay. Well, I think this, it's safe to say that Mark Kozleck. is probably the influencer because he is the, like the founding member of Son Kilmoon, and he was part of Red House Painters as well. So, yeah, he may have been the vocalist for, yeah. So that was the vocalist for Red House Painters. Anyway, so this record is called Ghosts of the Great Highway. And this song is just a taunting cue.

And I, you know, I feel like that word actually applies. for once here. Let's do it. Anyway, so here we go. This song is called Carry Me, Ohio. I did not know a Sun Kilmoon sounded like that, actually. Me neither. And it's time to pay attention to them, dude.

Yeah, that's really great. I never heard that. And if that's one of their more popular songs, and yeah, I know nothing about them. Yeah, and that's off their debut records came out 20 years ago, dude. Nice. Yeah, they've got a lot of records. man so I may have to do a you know an old-fashioned shovel and just listen to a bunch of their

stuff and just see see how it goes you know because I was just do it again it just kind of stopped me in my tracks you know and apparently they put out a brand new single in February so they're still putting out music an EP I should say all right so again that was carry me Ohio by sun kill moon off of their debut record ghosts of the Great Highway. And you're going to close the sound key. What do you got for us? All right, man.

Let's play some Swedish Emo. Oh, man, love me. Swedish Ema. This is a group called I Love Your Lifestyle. This is from another band camp list. I don't remember exactly what the list was. But yeah, this is a band that Pishfork described as a combustible flashpoint where Emo's unhinged rhythms meets indie pop song forms.

Hey. Man, it's just a solid indie pop track with just a hint of emo. It's good stuff. Here we go. This album is called No Driver from 2020. This song is called Shilly Shally. I feel like we've had a whip last year from that beautiful song from from Sun Kilmoon to like the more poppy variety of

of music that you might hear because that was like you said dude that was definitely the the emo in that chorus you know the vocal stylings definitely makes you think of like I'm in high school you know I mean this is like hey Mercedes whatashiwa yes yeah that more like really poppy emo yeah yeah yeah that kind of yeah yeah but you know what dude from track to track it definitely gets more like just classic emo almost like like like a blink punk pop blink one a two kind of punk

pop that one just kind of stands out as is even more on like the indie pop side but yeah really solid record it does take you back man it's it's just like that old school um high school emo I guess for for us and specifically for us yeah early 2000s emo yes yeah if you were in high school in the early 2000s, you played music like this in your, in your car probably, if you liked rock. Yeah.

Yeah. So yeah, I love your lifestyle. And that's it for April's much heard. It's a good one, dude. We brought a lot of different styles. Yeah, man.

Today. Shout out to Norwegian jazz because we had Elephant Nine and Jagged Jazzist on this episode. Shout out to trios of all varieties. Yeah. Yeah, and duos. Trioes and deos. What are we doing next month? So what's our deep dive?

Next month, dude, we're deep dive into Oblova's 2021 record Buds. And it's going to be a Dizzy, man. Just a solid record. You want to talk about a no-failer record in terms of like start, you know, front to back. It's amazing indie rock record, man. So incredible. Awesome, dude. Yeah, I'm excited.

So anyway, that's going to be a good time, especially because you, You've probably only heard the one track I brought years ago to what you heard, which is awesome, man. So, yeah. Yeah, I don't even remember it. I'm going to get your authentic reaction. But, dude, you know what? We've actually got a song to close us out that was sent to us from a listener.

Oh, heck yeah. We always ask, you know, we beg. And we just, you know, we just look. I pull up the Instagram inbox. and it's just the cricket emoji, you know? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Just a vast emptiness. But, you know, sometimes we have reliable listeners who've been with us for a while.

This particular individual, his name is Kenneth. I'm not going to give you your last name, Kenneth, just so you don't get, you know, harassed online or something. But he's been listening for a while. I think we may have even brought a track from him to what you heard years ago. I think so. I think so, yeah. Hi, Kenneth. Yeah.

Thanks for listening. Thanks for always listening. Sticking around. Yeah, he told us to keep vibing, Q, when he sent me this. Keep vibing. We're going to keep on vibing. We'll do our best. So this is funny that he sent me this artist.

This artist goes by the name Wisp. And I've actually seen her pop up on the Shugay subreddit recently. So he's spot on with this one in terms of like, you know, the types of tunes we like to listen to. You know, if you've been listening for years, I can't imagine, that you don't like the same kind of music that we like. You know what I mean? Otherwise, I feel like you would have dropped off a long time ago. Yeah, we don't bring too much variety here.

Yeah, exactly. We do, but it's mostly shoegays. It's grunge. Yeah. We give you a little hints that like, oh, these boards are a little bit more, you know. Well-rounded. Well-rounded, maybe, yeah, then they lead on. But for the most part, it's rock.

And, yeah, so this artist is interesting. last year in November. Nylon, which is like a website, they posted an article titled, Who is Wisp, the 19-year-old making top-notch shoegaze? So she's kind of developed a cult following. Like I said, I've seen her music mentioned on the shoegaze subreda because she just put out a little EP.

Well, it's coming out in May, I guess. It hasn't actually released yet. But you can listen to the whole thing, which is interesting. I guess it doesn't officially release until May, but called Pandora. And this track is actually off of that record. So yeah, we're going to close out here with a song from Wisp called Enough for You. Awesome.

You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack. But she's never told her side of the story until now. People assume that I'm like this pervert. My name is Natalie Robamed. And in my new podcast, I told her, to Allison to try to understand how she went from TV actor to cult member. How do you feel about having been involved in bringing sexual trauma to other people? I don't even know how to answer that question.

Allison After Nexium from CBC's Uncover is available now on Spotify.
