The new B. Hamilton record is one of Conan’s favorites of the year. What a pleasure it is to have the wonderful Ryan Christopher Parks back again to talk all about it. Deep dives into songwriting, Raj’s process as well as this one bringing a Warp Records (!) feel to some of those rock ‘n roll songs. Arrangements and space. Motorik music, synths, experimentation with lyrics and structure. Losing Macy and gaining Ian Miller (but only after the record is done). The art of songwriting, the deep humanity and dark frustrations of every day life. Wordy as hell ep titles and lots, lots more.
