- WNPR
Are you ready for a podcast that's going to show you a ton of good music that'll your brain in an exuberant display of ecstasy? Good! Because we've got the new Islands album, Vapours, ready to go. Frontman Nick Thorburn did well scaling the instrumentation back from Arm's Way; going for a more simplistic, drum machine-based approach with this new record.
We've also got acoustic tracks from Woods, two songs from the new Why? LP, and a look forward to next week.
