What Is Music?: A Music Podcast About Arctic Monkeys
A podcast that dives deep into discographies - one artist per season. Hosts Adam, Steve, and Lucas go album by album, track by track, exploring how context shapes our experience of music, why fans become obsessed, and what music really is. With three hosts coming from wildly different levels of musical knowledge, expect sharp analysis, wild tangents, hot takes, and more information about the artists (and the hosts) than you ever asked for. Currently exploring the discography of Arctic Monkeys. Previous seasons featured Manic Street Preachers, Muse, Billie Eilish, Radiohead, Lauryn Hill, and R.E.M.
What Is Music?: A Music Podcast About Arctic Monkeys
In Rainbows (Pt. 3)
The Big Mates discuss binaural microphones, 8D audio, MP3s, and In Rainbows by Radiohead.
Adam, Steve, and Lucas conclude their track-by-track deep dive into the band's revolutionary seventh album and offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between. They also explore how the album was received at the time of release and the legacy it has left behind.
They also touch on the groundbreaking way in which the album was released, fan theories, and the album's connection to OK Computer.
What causes Adam to be at a loss for words? Is this the closest the band get to sounding like Arctic Monkeys? How do you pronounce Frusciante? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?
Our next episode is out on Monday January 30th and will feature insightful commentary into Radiohead's performance in Beunos Aires in 2009 and we do a Q&A!
