On this episode, Emil Amos of Grails, Om and Lilacs & Champagne, tells us about the latest installment of Holy Sons‘ Lost Decade series.
Sandra takes to the streets of Chicago to catch up with Notes + Bolts, Panda Riot, and Divino Nino to learn more about local music and what shapes the scene.
Hear the track “Edo Method” from The Bilinda Butchers debut full-length Heaven.
Ross and Justin review a handful of releases including Toronto instrumental hip-hop/jazz trio BADBADNOTGOOD‘s III, the score for Gold from Earth founder Dylan Carlson under the name drcarlsonalbion, classical/neofolk from Musk Ox and their latest Woodfall, and eclectic alt-country from Denver’s Wovenhand on Refractory Obdurate.
Ross digs a little deeper into calls that YouTube is suppressing indie artists.

Also, a story about Danish electronic artist Croatian Amor accepting only nude photos as payment for his most recent release.
