Episode notes
Bassist/composer Joshua Abrams sits down with Oliver and guest co-host Jocelyn Brown to discuss Arthur Verocai’s underrated self-titled debut record. We discuss the rediscovery of this album via sampling, the texture of Arthur’s synth work, and why we connect with the album even though our Portuguese is, uhh, a bit rusty.
