Episode 168: Triptides Look At My Records!

- Music
Episode 168 features an interview with Glenn Brigman of Los Angeles-based psych-pop outfit Triptides. The veteran group just dropped their latest record late last month, a shimmering and trippy psych-pop masterpiece called Alter Echoes. As their eight full length, the album represents a bit of a turning point for the band, as it’s their first since scaling down from a four-piece to a power trio. The band also tracked it at Hollywood’s Boulevard Studios, a different setting when compared with their previous releases, which were mostly recorded at home on Tascam tape machines. Tune into our interview to hear Glenn talk about the experience recording Alter Echoes at Boulevard Studios, his memories of the band’s early days in Bloomington, Indiana, how he’s constantly writing new songs, and much more. Glenn also picked some awesome records from my collection, and we chatted about our mutual love of bands like Stereolab, Guided By Voices, and The Cleaners From Venus! You can follow along with Glenn’s record picks via the official playlist for Episode 168.
You can purchase Alter Echoes on limited edition vinyl via Alive Records. The album is also available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal. Keep up with the band by following them on Instagram and liking them on Facebook. Check out our review of Alter Echoes in this week’s Album Spotlight.
