One of our all-time favorite guests from one of our all-time favorite bands. Andrea of Holy Grove is back, and she was ready for our nonsense this time. This episode has a bit of everything: bathtub wisdom, two-part harmonies, nuanced opinions on reggae, and some rippin' tunes. Andrea also dives deep into Holy Grove's second album, II, available now on the excellent Ripple Music label. II is a fully realized, confident, polished-and-rough-in-all-the-right-ways banger of an album, and it is a treat to hear Andrea discuss what makes it such a special achievement for the band. Catch Holy Grove live at Northwest Hesh Fest this Saturday, September 21 at Star Theater in Portland.

Young Hunter fuses heavy psych with the soul of a poetic, desert-nomad balladeer...and we hung out with 80% of them this week!

We also touched on side projects like SOMNA, Erik and Sam's prog/thrash avalanche. Young Hunter's most recent release "Dayhiker" is a Haute Garbage favorite and is available on bandcamp.

Newly minted "Best New Artist in Portland" honoree and absolute treasure ePP is back! With well-deserved accolades flowing in and basking in the successful release of his latest album There's a Place for People Like You, ePP lends his rich baritone to a conversation on the NBA hot stove, giving of himself for the good of his musical community, and the vagaries of public toilets. You can catch him all the way live on Saturday, July 13 at the Liquor Store in Portland (with fellow "Best Of"-er Fountaine and the ever-best Hustle & Drone) and at PDX Pop Now! on Saturday, July 20.

Beat maker, DJ, visual artist (and skateboard artist) Northern Draw hangs loose this week. A man of many parts, Northern Draw curates the monthly beat showcase Thirsty City at the White Owl Social Club and hosts KBOO's "The Movement" show each Sunday in addition to churning out dope grooves and honing his artistic craft. His latest single "Blanc!" drops on vinyl June 26, and you can see him spin that night at Thirsty City. Peppered into our typical nonsense this week are some gems about the important link between skate and hip-hop cultures, what it means to be more artist than musician, and Drew's troubling willingness to eschew a proper bathroom.
