Kate Bush vs. Björk (feat. Emily Reese)
Couldn’t have planned this episode any better! With guest Emily Reese (Level With Emily, Jazz88, Scores & Pours), we ring in our show’s new name with entries from two of the most original artists of any generation: Björk’s 2017 electronic fantasy “Utopia” and Kate Bush’s untouchable “Hounds of Love”. In both, we find forward-thinking musicians at the peak of their craft with creative freedom and the technical skill to bring storytelling, emotional soundscapes, and grand ideas to life. Our community questions get us talking about how hearing game soundtracks before playing the game made us think differently of the music, the weirdest stuff in our music collection, and more – then it’s time for our community song, which takes us behind the Iron Curtain for some more experimental pop by European women...
