We're rounding out the month of November with a brand new episode digging into Fleet Foxes' self-titled breakout full-length record. We discuss their musical DNA rooted in older folk traditions, hymnals, and lush harmonies, unlike the emerging corporate-hipster, crowd-coded "stomp clap hey" movement the band was often grouped with, which was budding up in the folk pop genre around that same time.

As we round out our stint of Autumn-forward Rewinds, we're revisiting an episode from 2018 in the early days of the podcast to once again gush and fawn over Robin Pecknold's lyrics and song composition on Fleet Foxes' second album Helplessness Blues​. We also take a look at what makes Fleet Foxes stand out in the landscape of indie-folk from that era. This show is part of the Pantheon Podcast Network. Learn more about your ad choices.

Each week in November we are hitting pause and rewinding back to an episode covering an album that just embodies the vibes and ambiance of the Fall season. This week is Quentin's pick from an episode that dropped back in 2022 where we dove into Ambulance LTD's first and only album "LP" from 2004; a true gem in the era of cookie cutter indie pop.

It's Halloween night, and we're reaching into our bucket of treats and sharing Queens of the Stone Age's creepiest tracks. We dig into why their music's embrace of dark imagery and macabre storytelling makes them a natural fit for the spookiest night of the year. Join us as we dive into some of QOTSA's heaviest, most ominous grooves that are as intelligently crafted as they are genuinely unsettling.

We blast off into the stratosphere with Hum's 1995 masterpiece You'd Prefer An Astronaut, the Champaign, Illinois band's sonic collision of shoegaze shimmer and bone-crushing sludge metal. While MTV latched onto "Stars," the album's real treasures lie in the deep space between those radio moments—massive, swirling guitar walls courtesy of Matt Talbott and Tim Lash that feel like entire galaxies collapsing in slow motion. This is the record that proved heavy music could be beautiful, and shoegaze could absolutely crush. Strap in for lift-off.

Our buddy Mitch returns and we pick up where we left off in our track-by-track deep dive into Kings of Leon's second record Aha Shake Heartbreak.

We sit down with our long time friend Mitchell (a name we've dropped countless times on this podcast) to chat about Kings of Leon's second record Aha Shake Heartbreak. An extremely formative band and record for the 3 of us, we reminisce about seeing the band open for The Strokes in 2003, rushing down to the local record shop to grab a copy of Aha Shake in 2005, and dive deep into every track of the record. We discuss the brilliant lyrical balance of raw vulnerability with unbridled testosterone, and the southern tinged garage rock sound that defined the group just before their meteoric mainstream rise in the years to come. Join us next week for part 2.

We say it often on this podcast: the 90s is a bottomless pit of incredible rock music as wide as it is deep. And if you grew up in the United States like we did, you may have slept on arguably the greatest Canadian rock band of all time: The Tragically Hip. From the cryptically beautiful lyricism of frontman Gord Downie to the catchy hooks and song structures of the band behind him, we deep dive into their 1994 record Day For Night and ask the question we find ourselves asking constantly on this podcast: where has this band been all our lives?
