Episode Synopsis

It’s Sunday once again, and Jake, Ryley, and Morgan, are joined by special guest AdequateEmily to review two massive releases from some of the biggest names in music: Kendrick Lamar’s long-awaited and messy psychodrama Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, plus Radiohead side-project The Smile’s effervescent and hard-grooving debut A Light for Attracting Attention. But that’s not all - because this month has been so stacked for great new releases we are also diving into two of the best albums of the year so far: Ethel Cain’s gorgeous, heartbreaking narrative concept record Preacher’s Daughter, and hardcore legends Gospel’s proggy return after a 16-year absence with The Loser! All of these albums are essential listening, so join us for some deep diving into all the many reasons why!
