We get into a detailed song by song of that debut, preceded by a bit of history of the band and how it all came together with so long to gestate. Pedals with <a href="https://emeraldcircuits.bigcartel.com/">Emerald Circuits</a>, <a href="https://dynamicsoundservice.com/">Dynamic Sound Mastering</a> and a detailed deep dive into mastering itself, what it does and why it is important, baritone talk, split signals, space and inspiration from unique sources. It is Blake! It is Bronson Arm.</p> <p><a href="https://www.protonicreversal.com/podcast/index.php?name=2024-03-19_378_Ep378__Blake_Bickel_(Bronson_Arm).mp3">stream/dl</a></p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe loading="lazy" title="Conan Neutron’s Protonic Reversal-Ep378: Blake Bickel (Bronson Arm)" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pfKj70zRLe4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe title="Spotify Embed: Ep378: Blake Bickel (Bronson Arm)" style="border-radius: 12px" width="100%" height="152" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" loading="lazy" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/138v6sMGWvGfxSQaz4c2SH?si=a7fbd981afbe42be&utm_source=oembed"></iframe> </div></figure>… [...]

Here not just to talk about the genre defying brutality of Swans or his magnificent ambient solo work, but to also speak about at length about the radically underrated Heroine Sheiks with Shannon Selberg of the Cows! So all things Gira and Jarboe, some King Crimson, Sonic Youth borrowing gear, as well as how to use Etsy to sell limited edition ambient works. All of that plus: “Which Swans song is their Louie, Louie?” </p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe title="Spotify Embed: Ep377: Norman Westberg (Swans, Heroine Sheiks, Solo)" style="border-radius: 12px" width="100%" height="152" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" loading="lazy" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/20DGFMeQk3P1gvKp8M76Sn?si=8e2a7220489c4759&utm_source=oembed"></iframe> </div></figure> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe loading="lazy" title="Conan Neutron’s Protonic Reversal-Ep377: Norman Westberg (SWANS, The Heroine Sheiks)" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_5aoIUthxy4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure>… [...]
