On this episode of the podcast Cody is joined by Kwasi and Ben who make up one half of the Calgary synth pop band Howells. The band has just released a new EP called Efflorescence and the three of them talk all about it. They also talk about a wide variety of other subject matter including: the benefits of having a tech savvy person in the modern day band, getting the maximum musical mileage out of your ideas, the evolution of the ways we talk about and listen to music, the positives and the negatives of streaming services like Spotify, the joys of finding a really good album, the trials and tribulations of the modern day musician, the value of community radio and supporting local, finding your voice as a band, marketing and paying attention to how you release your music, mixing analog instruments with electronic music production to create something new, contributing to what the next new thing might be, finding the balance between unique and consumable, the science behind the music, the permanent nature of putting things on the internet, the live shows that stick with us, the joys of being in flow, and much more. You can listen to the song Hymn off of the bands most recent EP Efflorescence at the end of the episode.
