Peter Gabriel’s sixth solo LP, Us, might be the music icon’s finest hour, but it was born from some of the lowest points in his life. Fueled by the pain of his divorce, estrangement from his daughter, and a growing awareness of an unraveling world around him, Us takes an unflinching look at the messiness, pain, and beauty that make up our relationships to not just those closest to us, but humanity writ large.
All you need is love on a special Valentine’s Day edition of Discologist celebrating Gabriel’s often-overlooked masterpiece, Us!

John Moreland songs always could hit you straight in the heart, but on his latest effort, his deep baritone is resonating even deeper. His first album working with a producer (Matt Pence), LP5, finds new sounds and instrumentation seeping into what his fans have come to love about his music. The results are as surprising as they are revelatory, painting a picture of an artist who, twenty years into his career, is still evolving, still searching for some truth.
PLUS! Elkhorn’s The Storm Sessions expands on the acid-folk duo’s sound with the help of their friend Turner Williams and an actual snowstorm. Tune in and drop out with their track “Electric One (Part B).”

Guitarist Jeff Parker is best known for his work with Chicago post-rock gawds Tortoise. But anyone who has followed his career knows that he has a long history of sharing the spotlight with heavy hitters like Joshua Redman, Meshell Ndegeocello, and more while continuing to occupy the more experimental corners of the jazz world with the likes of Makaya McCraven and the new Chicago jazz scene. Suite for Max Brown, a forged-from-joy mixtape from outer-space, expands the lexicon of modern jazz even when it lets off the gas to pay tribute to Parker’s roots, and isn’t just a high-point in Parker’s discography, but maybe a new bar for jazz as we know it today. Wes Covey joins us to discuss this unimpeachable masterpiece and why the future of jazz in 2020 looks brighter than ever.
PLUS! Washington, D.C.’s Light Beams are here to save the universe with Self Help, their debut full length and we’re spinning it’s first single “Sacred Scales” to make sure you see the light.

For their debut album Bonny Light Horseman (Anais Mitchell, Eric Johnson, Josh Kaufman) — a supergroup that is ACTUALLY super — leaned heavily into a shared love of English folk music, updating sometimes centuries-old songs that still feel as relevant today as that did in an EXTREMELY pre-internet world. Wes Covey sits in this week as we explore why this music resonates still, the supreme power of teamwork, and how to talk about practically perfect albums, and more.
PLUS! New music from Durham based flatpicker Alan Barnosky!

Since 2008, Futurebirds have been stunning audiences with their potent mix of cosmic country, psychedelia, and good old rock and roll. Recorded “all over the place,” their new album Teamwork is the culmination of years of refining their craft and a testament to the bond they’ve forged not just between the band and their fans, but the family that Futurebirds has become in the process.

How do we know if a piece of music is good? How do we know if it is bad? How do we know why we feel the way we do about the songs that soundtrack our lives? Those are the questions that we’ve asked over and over for almost 500 episodes on Discologist. As we enter our 10th season, it’s about time we found some answers.
On the season premiere, Kevin and Eduardo are digging into legendary jazz saxophonist Sonny Stitt’s overlooked masterpiece, Mr. Bojangles. An album that is as transcendent as it is trashy, Mr. Bojangles asks listeners to consider what they REALLY want out of music and then gives it to them in an exquisite slow burn of schmaltz.
It’s really better than it sounds. Trust us. We’re here to help.

After garnering national attention and widespread acclaim for Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968 – one of the best books ever written about rock music, Van Morrison, Boston, or possibly all of the above – singer/bandleader Ryan Walsh knew that his next project would be a new Hallelujah The Hills album, and now I’m You, the band’s magnum opus is here. A travelogue of indie-rock history, existential fear, and joyful salvation, I’m You celebrates the search for truth in art, the truth about ourselves, and how our connections to each other are what will save us in the end. Maybe.
Tune in as we sit down with the author/songwriter to go deep inside the creation of one of 2019’s best albums, one that will hopefully, and at long last, launch Hallelujah The Hills into the stratosphere where they belong.

Twenty-five years ago, R.E.M was practically the biggest band on the planet. “What could they possibly do next?” was the question on everyone’s minds after the Athens, Georgia quartet’s career-defining double-shot of Out Of Time and Automatic For The People, and the answer, for many, was perplexing. Throwing glam-rock, psychedelia, punk, avant-garde, and a dash of pop sensibility into a blender, the band hit “crush” and the result was Monster, the most polarizing album of their careers.
It was also one of their best.
Let’s discuss.
