February 02, 2017Episode 252: Life Without Sound - Cloud Nothings
In 2009, Cloud Nothings leader Dylan Baldi dropped out of college to pursue his rock n' roll dreams, and he did so with a vengeance. With their fourth album, Life Without Sound, Baldi and crew have polished their sound, without sacrificing any of the angst and ferocity that made the world fall in love with them in the first place.
We discuss, while Paul relives the 90's.
PLUS! We're setting the wayback machine for a trip back to 1972 and the new-to-us soul of Howard Tate!

After a string of EP's and years of anticipation, Washington DC neü-punk provocateurs, Priests, have finally delivered their debut full length, Nothing Feels Natural.

January 26, 2017 Episode 250: Tourist In This Town - Allison Crutchfield
Allison Crutchfield (twin sister of Katie Crutchfield aka Waxahatchee) has paid her dues in bands like P.S. Eliot, Bad Bananna, and Swearin', but on her new LP Tourist In This Town (Merge Records) she's blasting off into a whole new phase of her career. Lousy with emotionally supercharged synth jams, Tourist reveals Crutchfield as one of the most vibrant voices of her generation, so of course, we're gonna talk about.
PLUS! Sampha's Process drops in a few weeks. We've got a taste of this masterful R&B excursion.

January 23, 2017Episode 249: Hang - Foxygen
The largest peaceful protest in American history took place this weekend, not just here in DC but all over the world. We're gonna talk about it. Yes...this is what we mean by the "and nothing but" part of our tagline.
Foxygen isn't just a band, it's a state of mind. On their fifth album Hang, the duo of Jonathan Rado and Sam France are letting their freak flags fly high - REAL HIGH - and the result is a powerful dose of psychedelic bombast, that's equal parts past and future, and 100% alright, alright, alllllright.

January 17, 2017Episode 247: Puxico - Natalie Hemby
Travis Tritt started a tweet-a-cane with his suggestion that artists should stick to their art and leave the politics to...not artists. We've got a few things to say about that.
Songwriter Natalie Hemby has been quietly and consistently killing it behind the scenes by delivering hit after hit for some of Nashville's biggest names. Now she's stepping into the spotlight with Puxico, her debut album. Kevin, Patrick, and Marcus (Dowling) dive deep into this celebration of small towns everywhere, take time to ponder the future of country music in 2017, and more.
PLUS! Take a trip with southern California's Mr. Elevator and the groovy first track from their upcoming LP, When The Morning Greets You.

January 12, 2017Episode 246: Fugees - The Score [Discologist]
If you turned on the radio In 1996 your ears were assaulted by the music of artists like Sublime, The Spice Girls, Gin Blossoms, The Prodigy, Alanis Morrisette, and more (the less said about "The Macarena" the better).
Then along came Fugees.
In our inaugural edition of our new feature Discologist, Kevin is joined in the basement by Eduardo (Nunes) and Marcus (Dowling) [Pitchfork, Bandcamp] for an epic hang to celebrate an album that changed the music industry and turned three relatively unknown artists into international superstars practically overnight.
