Bartees Strange & Cinder Well
CW: This episode contains some discussion of racism, anti-Semitism.
Kay & Erica dig into two very different albums which coincidently draw inspiration from traditional music in very different ways. They discuss having strategies to releasing music, and transcontinental musical projects which in moments like the global pandemic are reminders of the diaspora of the creators' ancestry.
