This week our guest is musician, producer and writer Justin Lockey. He simply has too many credits to list here, but he is probably best known for being in Editors, Minor Victories, Mastersystem and Yourcodenameis:milo. We first met Justin in the early days of Erased Tapes Records when he was in British Expeditionary Force, we were still finding our feet as a band and were lucky enough to have Justin produce our first album. He’s a very talented, interesting and nice guy.

This week we chat with our old friend Ryan L West, aka Rival Consoles.

This was the first episode we recorded of The Paper Crane, so please forgive the sound issues! It was lovely chatting with Ryan, with whom we share a long history, since the early days of Erased Tapes Records.

We chat with Ryan about his writing process, the morality of music on specific adverts, and what it was like working on a show as big as Black Mirror.
