Dreams of Consciousness Podcast Episode 209 features an interview with Sam Rosenthal and Jon DeRosa of Black Tape For A Blue Girl.

There's no easy way to describe the music of Black Tape For A Blue Girl. The band call what they do "ethereal darkwave" and "neo-classical", but also have a healthy following from fans of goth rock, neo-folk, and drone.

I spoke with Black Tape For A Blue Girl founder/instrumentalist Sam Rosenthal and vocalist Jon DeRosa about how they met, and the circumstances that led Jon to become the band's new lead singer. We also discussed how the 13th BTFABG album The Cleft Serpent came together while the members were in three separate locations, as well as the narrative and characters that drive the album.

My thanks to Sam and Jon for speaking with me, and to all of you for listening.
