Whenever there is a new Six Organs of Admittance album released it sends me into their back catalogue to remind myself, however unnecessarily, of how great Ben Chasny's work has been over the last decade and a half. Time is Glass, released this past Friday on Drag City is a wonderful and welcome addition to the canon, and caps this chronological overview of the Six Organs catalogue.

I'd like to highlight and apologize for the small bit of self-promotion in this episode which closes out with a track from my recent release, Weighters, in my Counting on Downstairs alias. It was interesting to drop it into the flow and see how it fits. Hopefully with not too many clunks. Enjoy.
