On the latest episode of Discologist, Eduardo and Kevin welcome back author/musician/all-around-rad-dude Ryan Walsh (Hallelujah The Hills, Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968) to talk about DECK, his latest album with his long-time band Hallelujah The Hills. Clocking in at a massive 54 songs (1 song for each card in a deck of cards plus the joker), DECK is both a monument to the power of creativity and an essential history of the music that influenced Ryan, and us all, over the past few decades. It’s also one of the best albums of the year.

Skylar Gudasz continues her signature style of storytelling through song on her latest album, 'Country'. While songs like "Truck" and "Mothers Daughter" maintain a familiar feel for fans of her previous work, tracks like "Fire Country" and "Atoll" showcase Gudasz (once dubbed "the Joni Mitchell the South never had") delving into our relationship with the world around us and how we shape it.

Over the past few years, Milwaukee’s Ladybird have been refining their sound on stages all over town and with the release of their debut album Amy Come On Home, it’s clear that all hard work has paid off. With roots firmly and unashamedly planted in the sounds of Uncle Tupelo and Drive-By Truckers, and a wit that echoes the work of John Prine, the four-piece outfit is just the shot in the arm that alt-country has been waiting for.

When Nabil Ayers set out to write his memoir he could have focused on a long list of personal and professional accomplishments. He’s been a drummer in bands on major labels. He opened and ran a record store in Seattle that is known and revered worldwide. He has had his writing published in the New York Times, NPR and more. He has run a division (4AD) of one of the world's most revered indie record labels (Beggars Group) and currently is the president of that label’s U.S. operations.

For over a decade, singer/songwriter/Southerner Kim Ware has been crafting indie-folk songs full of heart and twang with her project Kim Ware and the Good Graces. On her latest album Ready, she’s digging deeper inside then ever before. The result is an album overflowing with brutal honesty, (often hilarious) youthful angst, and an emotional core that could melt even the most hardened of hearts. Join us as we sit down with Ware to discuss the new album, making music in isolation, teaming up with producer Jerry Lee, and much, much more.

PLUS! Music we love from Chicago’s Bitchin Bajas, some tasty guitar work from Jon Camp, and a whole lot more!

Washington D.C.’s Broke Royals have always been one of the hardest working indie bands we know, but like a lot of up-and-comers, COVID-19 slammed the brakes on what should have the beginning of their ascent to the big leagues. But rather than wait for things to return to normal, the band started a video series (Alone, Together), headed in exciting new creative directions, and came out of the experience stronger than ever!

Now the band [new addition Rebecca Silverstein (keys), Ben Wilson (guitar), Taimir Gore (bass), Colin Cross (drums), and Philip Basnight (vocals, guitar)] are back with a new energy, a new look, and a brand new album, Local Support (produced by Bartees Strange), ready to take over the world with a thrilling take on pop rock for the 21st Century.

The Butterfly Effect: How Kendrick Lamar Ignited The Soul Of Black America is as much a document of the Compton superstar’s journey-to-date as it is author Marcus J. Moore’s journey from one of the most recognizable and important names in music journalism to a burgeoning cultural pundit whose voice is already having an impact. Moore’s words take you inside the culture that fueled Lamar’s ambitious work and beyond to explore the real-world implications of black excellence and community in an America that still, in 2020, largely rejects both.

This week, Moore joins us for a candid discussion of his work, a re-imagined view of creative culture, and how the journey is the thing you can often learn from the most.
