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
Belladonna of Sadness
The Big Mates discuss Mike Wozniak, Paul F. Tompkins, Mike Wazowski, and Belladonna of Sadness by Alexandra Savior.
Adam, Steve, and Lucas discuss how Alexandra Savior got started in music, the writing and recording process of her debut album, and they take a look at some of the songs from it.
They explore the overall themes and sound, and talk about 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 find time to chat about Post Pop Depression by Iggy Pop.
How does this fit into our season? What will we make of the album? Subs or dubs? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?
Our next episode is out next week, Monday November 24th!
