The Big Mates discuss microbiomes, Bandcamp, quick looks, and INTIMISM by Nicky Wire.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas return to the subject of their first season in order to catch up on the extra-curricular activities of Nicky Wire, the bassist and chief lyric writer of Manic Street Preachers.

They talk about the writing and recording process, the context surrounding the albums, and offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between.

How does the album compare to the recent Manics albums? How was the album released? Will Lucas ever remember anything ever again? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next Monday October 14th, and will see us return to R.E.M. with a deep-dive into their eleventh album, Up!
