Chapter 283 - "Navigating Life with Music" ...as read by Tim Miller of Speak, Memory
To close out 2021, I’m so excited to finally share my interview with Tim Miller from post rock band Speak, Memory. Tim and I chatted back at the beginning on May before the band released their latest ep, Adirondack. Adirondack is an incredible ep and fans of Unwed Sailor, Saxon Shore, and American Football will want to give it a spin! Tim talks about his musical history, the early collaboration with Bartees Strange, and music as an emotional outlet. Tim told me the band will be releasing new music throughout 2022, so give them a follow and be on the lookout for new tunes in the new year.
