Episode 157: Smokescreens
Manage episode 282270809 series 1416053
Episode 157 of Look At My Records! features an interview with Chris Rosi of the Los Angeles-based indie pop outfit Smokescreens. In 2020, the band released their third album, A Strange Dream, and it impressed many, including Tom, who named it his favorite record of the year. Like their first two full-lengths, the band continues to wear their Kiwi influences on their sleeve, but on A Strange Dream, they focused on sharpening their sound and expanding their dynamic guitar interplay. The band also recruited New Zealand music legend David Kilgour to produce the album, recording it over the course of a week just outside of Los Angeles in picturesque Topanga Canyon. Tune in to hear all about the recording process behind A Strange Dream, what it was like hanging out and working with Kilgour, Rosi’s background playing music in Southern California, and more! This episode features records from Pylon, The Go-Betweens, The Feelies, and David Kilgour. You can follow along with Chris’ record picks via the Spotify playlist for Episode 157!
