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
AM (Pt. 3)
The Big Mates discuss Angus Murray, Faces of the Cube, Roomuss, and Humbug by Arctic Monkeys.
Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their exploration of the career of Arctic Monkeys and conclude their track-by-track analysis of their fifth album.
They explore the composition, tone, lyrics, meaning, and context for each song in turn - all from three differing perspectives, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!
They also look at the legacy of the album, the success of the album, and how some of these songs became the most listened-to songs ever.
What do we think of the album? How do you count on your fingers? Is Nicky Wire the most influential musician of all time? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?
Our next episode is out next week, Monday November 10th!
