Our old friend, echoey audio, rears it's ugly head again on this episode. Not quite as bad as the Childish Gambino but you can't say I didn't warn you. One of these days I'll learn to consistently work a noise gate so this stops happening.

This week we're covering titans of the early 2010's indie pop/rock scene, Sleigh Bells and their sophomore album Reign in Terror. Simultaneously more catchy and clean and pop focused than their debut, Treats, while also being decidedly more guitar focused. We discuss what the music scene was like at the time, as well as how this band was insanely ahead of their time and would end up being one of the influential pillars for what would eventually become hyperpop.

The vinyl I have is the standard release as far as I'm aware. This album came out right around when I started collecting so I bought it near release at a record store, probably Horizon Records or maybe Earshot if they were still around by this point. The jacket is slightly taller than your average record which may be an aesthetic choice or it may be to house the collection of art prints the album came with that I sadly lost over the years. Either way it's a great sounding, 180g black vinyl.

News corner this week is a little all over the place. Bouncing around from MIA getting herself fired from the Kid Cudi tour, to talking about the recent epidemic of shows and tours getting canceled due to low ticket sales, and we even briefly mention the very real and serious feud between Earl Sweatshirt and JPEGMAFIA.
