Join us as we drift off to Brian Eno’s blockbuster space ambient masterpiece APOLLO. We also talk about the amazing documentary the music was originally written for, For All Mankind, and trip out about space, bro. Also discussed: Justin's review of Panda Bear's recent show in Chicago, Ellicott Hooligan, classic space records, and another installment of Bonefish Recs.
This week we dive in to one of the most misunderstood albums in the AnCo universe, Avey Tare and Kría Brekkan's collaborative debut, the Lynch-inspired backwards freak folk offering Pullhair Rubeye. Christian and Justin discuss both original and un-reversed versions of the record, and speculate on why it was met with such disdain upon release.
Thoughts on this unique album? Do prefer the forwards or backwards version?

The bonefish boys kick off a new era by diving deep on Brian Eno's seminal proto-ambient album Discreet Music, which turns 50 this year—though it sure doesn't sound like it. There's also a chat about the new generative Eno doc made by Oddsac producer Gary Hustwit, as well as some good ol' bonefish rec's.

Christian and Justin travel back 20 years to relive a Feels-era Animal Collective show in Kentucky. Performed one month after recording that album, this show captures the band in a rarified state—exploratory, raw, tour-tight, transitioning seamlessly from song to song and on the verge of greatness.

We go deep on perhaps the most controversial Animal Collective album, Danse Manatee. A product of the band's burgeoning live act, Danse was made by the same trio that created Merriweather Post Pavilion and Painting With. Beloved by some, reviled by others, this record set the tone for the group's modus operandi going forward, one characterized by experimentation, collaboration, and the relentless desire to create.
Also discussed: Geologist's newly announced solo album, the end of Pitchfork Fest, and of course, Bonefish Rec's.
Where does Danse rank for you? What's your favorite track?
