    This episodes special guest is Dave McCabe of The Zutons

    ‘The Big Decider’ (out 26th April) will be their first album together for 16 years and they’ve produced it with Nile Rodgers at Abbey Road Studios, alongside their original producer Ian Broudie. The album’s lead single ‘Creeping On The Dancefloor’ is already playlisted on BBC Radio 2 and Absolute, and picking up spins across 6 Music and Radio X. They’re currently out on a run of intimate UK shows before a much bigger UK headline tour kicks off in April.
     
    It has been some journey for the ‘Valerie’ hit-makers in the time since their last album, 2008’s ‘You Can Do Anything’. ‘The Big Decider’ rears its head with the band having been through an awful lot together, and individually. Family tragedies, lives lost and created, reality checks, fallouts, make-ups, breakdowns – as well as lead singer Dave McCabe’s experiences of rehabilitation – have all played their part in making ‘The Big Decider’ what it is. For them it became the sound of water passing under the bridge, and a love for making music together rediscovered. Dave is pretty open in saying that this was the first time he’d actually been excited to record an album.

    Special Guest - Kiefer (Drake / Anderson Pack)

    This episodes special guest is musician and producer Kiefer
    I met with Kiefer and we had a wonderful chat, talking about growing up in San Diego, Jazz, Hip Hop, School and much more
    Kiefer is an artist whose production skills have been sought after by the likes of everyone from Drake to Anderson .Paak – winning a Grammy Award for his work with the latter. An artist who plays in Mndsgn’s live setup, and has collaborated with Moses Sumney, Katryanada, Terrance Martin, and Theo Croker, whilst also carving out a place for himself in the ever-growing scene of artists in LA, whose music draws on and orbits around jazz without fitting neatly into a single genre.

“Another day, another episode?!”

I love the genuineness of this podcast.
One question, though: why does Stu say “it’s another week which means another episode” at the start of each episode??? There’s a new episode every day...!

All music lovers should listen to this podcast

I listen to Stu over on the Hardcore Listing podcast, and was SO excited when he announced this solo podcast and the concept behind it. As a music lover, it spoke straight to my heart. Each guest answers seven questions, such as "what is first song that had an emotional impact" and "what song that reminds you of your school days," essentially questions about the music that has soundtracked the guest's life so far. It's a brilliant concept that we can all relate to. In the short time that the podcast has been going, I've "discovered" so much cool new-to-me music, which is the icing on the cake, IMO. This podcast is the perfect example of one of my favorite lyrics, "Funny how a melody, sounds like a memory..."
