When Good Records Sound Bad (feat. Snail Mail) Feb 26, 2020

– ‘…Familiar Place’ by Lucy Dacus

Breathtaking – How staccato intros bend your brain Oct 30, 2019

Show notes

On some level, every bit of music is a sustained trick we play on our brains. When a song kicks off with a rigid staccato intro, though, the effect on your body is electrifying.

On this episode of Key Change, we’re taking a closer look at those metronomic intros, and how they mess with our brains in the most delightful ways.

Featuring:
- Chvrches – “Make Them Gold”
- The Who – “Won’t Get Fooled Again”
- Dolly Parton – “9 To 5”
- Depeche Mode – “See You”
- James Brown – “Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine Pts 1 & 2”
- Pharrell Williams – “Happy”
- Kendrick Lamar – “Alright”
- Missy Elliott – “WTF (Where They From)”
