    DBWS 2-24 Elf Power Vainly Clurching with Andrew Reiger
    Here's another season one episode freed from behind the paywall. This episode marked the official start of Patrick Tape Fleming' as a co-host. We kinda forgot to tell Andrew Reiger about it ahead of time.
    But no biggie...
    They actually know each other and are fans of each other's musical work.
    We mostly discuss Elf Power's lo-fi 1995 masterpiece of a debut release "Vainly Clutching at Phantom Limbs", but, per usual, the conversation wanders. Whether you are familiar with Andrew's work or not, prepare to be edumacated and enraptured by the magic of Elf Power!

  • DBWS 2-23: The Sunshine Fix — Age of the Sun
    DBWS 2-23: The Sunshine Fix — Age of the Sun
    As the 1990s came to a close, the Elephant 6 universe entered one of its most fascinating and creative chapters.
    The Olivia Tremor Control — the Athens, Georgia kaleidoscopic psychedelic pop machine that helped define an era .. had drifted into different corners of time and space. Its two visionary songwriters began exploring new worlds: Will Cullen Hart traveled deeper into the dreamlike experimental galaxies of Circulatory System, while Bill Doss chased the eternal glow of the perfect pop song with The Sunshine Fix.
    And with Age of the Sun, Bill created his post OTC masterpiece.
    Filled with Byrds-like harmonies, sun-drenched melodies, 1960s psychedelic color, a little 70's funk and the beautiful layered orchestration we'd come to know from OTC, Age of the Sun feels like a transmission from another dimension.. completely powered by Bill’s unmistakable optimism, his worldly lyrics, and melodic genius
    On this episode we talk with Sunshine Fix members Derek Almstead and Kevin Sweeney about what it was like working alongside Bill Doss — not just as a songwriter, but as a friend, producer, and bandleader.
    They share stories of Bill’s kindness, his endless encouragement, his belief in the people around him, and the way he created space for every musician to bring their own personality into the music.
    Much like Paul McCartney building Wings after that “other little band he was in” Bill wasn’t looking for hired hands. He was building a BAND.
    This is a conversation about friendship, collaboration, creativity, and the magic that happens when a great songwriter trusts the people around him. https://patreon.com/dontbotherwearingseatbelts?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&utm_content=copyLink

  • DBWS 2-22 Azalia Snail

    DBWS 2-22 Azalia Snail

    We are honored to be joined by the one and only Azalia Snail — the legendary “Queen of Lo-Fi.” A true pioneer of the 1990s underground, Azalia helped shape the sound of home recording, neo-psychedelia, experimental pop, and the DIY universe that so many artists continue to explore today.

    She is a songwriter, a multi-instrumentalist, a sonic explorer — and someone whose life story almost feels like the indie rock version of Forrest Gump. Somehow, someway, Azalia has crossed paths with everyone from Beck during the explosion of the lo-fi movement to the legendary Dick Van Dyke — collecting stories that sound too magical to be real.

    In this episode, we talk about her incredible journey, the freedom of making art without rules, and her brand new album coming out on Cloud Recordings — a perfect home for an artist who has always lived in the clouds, creating her own universe one song at a time.

    So sit back, open your mind, and enjoy our conversation with the endlessly fascinating Azalia Snail.

  • DBWS Episode 20: Of Montreal with Andy Gonzales

    DBWS Episode 20: Of Montreal with Andy Gonzales

    In this episode of Don’t Bother Wearing Seatbelts, we sit down with former Of Montreal member Andy Gonzales to dive deep into Of Montreal’s beloved Elephant 6 classic, Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies: A Variety of Whimsical Verse.

    Andy takes us behind the scenes of the album’s creation, sharing incredible stories about recording the entire project on tape, the experimental spirit surrounding the sessions, and the bizarre, beautiful world of the album’s many invented characters. We talk about the record’s constant musical zig zags, its fearless creativity, and why Coquelicot remains one of the most adventurous and unique albums to come out of the Elephant 6 universe.

    We also learn the hilarious story of how Andy first joined Of Montreal, along with reflections on the collaborative magic of that era and what made those recordings feel so alive and unpredictable.

    If you love Elephant 6, psychedelic pop, strange storytelling, or hearing how truly inventive records get made, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Andy also dives into his band Marshmallow Coast, and being a former member of The Music Tapes.

  • DBWS 2-17 Devine and Devine and Rishis

    DBWS 2-17 Devine and Devine and Rishis

    In this one, we’re diving into two mini classic episodes from our first season that still feel as alive and necessary now as they did then. First up is Chris McKay’s Devine and Devine — a record born out of the kind of circumstance that reshapes everything. Faced with his own mortality, Chris didn’t just write songs, he tore up the rulebook and created in a way that feels raw, immediate, and a little bit confrontational. It’s intimate in a way that might make you uncomfortable at times, but that’s the point. You can hear the weight of it, but also the clarity. It’s not just an album, it’s a document of someone pushing through, finding a way to make something beautiful while staring down the hardest truth there is.

    From there, we reconnect with several members of The Rishis, where the conversation keeps circling back to one thing above all else: community. Not just the idea of it, but the lived-in, built-over-time kind that has always defined the Elephant 6 Collective. There’s a real emphasis on showing up for each other, sharing ideas freely, and creating in a way that feels connected rather than isolated. Coming out of the pandemic, that sense of togetherness feels even more intentional — like the music isn’t just about new records, but about keeping the spirit of collaboration and friendship alive, no matter what the world throws at it.

    Per usual, we try to stick to the records… but you know how that goes. Conversations drift, stories unfold, and before long we’re deep in the weeds talking about creativity, community, and why this whole weird, wonderful scene still matters so much.

    This one goes deep.
