Big Red Machine Pt. 3

Saison 3 · Épisode 4

lundi 15 juillet 2024 • Durée 32:59

The conclusion to the story, for now. Big Red Machine has been a rejection of the music industry's expectations weighing upon Dessner and Vernon, but also a place of solace for the pair amongst their sometimes painful struggles with mental health. The pair take turns grounding each other through their successes and supporting during their lows, while writing songs like "Brycie" and "Hutch" that pay tribute to close-knit family and friends. The pool of collaborators ripples out ever-further, and new methods of working to complement each others' contributions carry on the experimental spirit of Big Red Machine.

Big Red Machine Pt. 2

Saison 3 · Épisode 3

lundi 8 juillet 2024 • Durée 30:46

Secretly Society presents a three-episode mini-series about collaboration, friendship, and a community-driven project; originally formed by Justin Vernon and Aaron Dessner in 2008, this is the magical and illusive tale of Big Red Machine. This series is narrated by music writer and broadcaster Laura Barton, including live interviews with Vernon, Aaron Dessner, Bryce Dessner, Sharon Van Etten, Anais Mitchell, and more. Part Two finds Vernon and Dessner working out just what Big Red Machine was, and should be; exactly what role it should play in their respective musical lives was proving hard to pin down. Making their second record, more voices were added to bring Dessner and Vernon's songs to life, expanding the Big Red Machine identity and sound, and discovering that the defining quality of the group was something intentionally experimental.

Secretly Frequencies – Bonny Light Horseman

Saison 3 · Épisode 1

lundi 24 juin 2024 • Durée 01:10:58

Today we're going to be chatting with the band Bonny Light Horseman. That's right, all three of them! Over two and a soon-to-be-released third record, Bonny Light Horseman have crafted and created an immediately recognizable folk sound all of their own and picked up a Grammy nomination along the way. A bit of a supergroup comprising Eric D. Johnson, who you may know from Fruit Bats; Anais Mitchell, highly-acclaimed musician and writer of the wildly popular musical, Hadestown; and Josh Kaufman, a musician and producer you'll have heard on countless records, including ones by The War on Drugs, The National, His Golden Messenger, and a new artist who's starting to make a bit of a name for herself, Taylor Swift. Join us for the first Secretly Frequencies episode of Season 3, where we test artists and labels on their own catalogs and hear a few stories about the songs and history along the way.

The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream

Saison 2 · Épisode 12

mercredi 17 avril 2024 • Durée 01:34:44

To commemorate the tenth anniversary of Lost In The Dream, The War On Drugs put together a special long-form episode of their Super High Quality Podcast to tell the behind-the-scenes story of how the record was made. Between sessions in Hoboken and North Carolina, Adam Granduciel worked regularly with engineer Jeff Zeigler in Philly adding "paint" to a collection of songs that would be widely hailed as the band's first masterpiece on its release in March 2014. As the band struggled against the repetition and inevitable distractions of working close to home with local friends and collaborators, as the recordings took shape, Adam was simultaneously struggling with the unpredictability of his own mental health. In candid conversations with the key players, and using previously unheard early mixes and demos, we'll follow the work in progress from the first sessions in early 2013 through the late summer and early fall when the songs took their final form during mixing. We'll also ride shotgun with Adam on his journey home from the mastering studio to the shoulder of I-95 in a fitting conclusion to the making of Lost In The Dream.

"One of 2014's Truly great records. The perfect American road trip" - NME

"The War On Drugs make archetypal road trip music. Shimmering, steady, gritty as pavement and open as the sky." - Rolling Stone

Host: Dominic East
Guests: Adam Granduciel, Dave Hartley, Robbie Bennett, Charlie Hall, Dusdin Condren

Secretly Frequencies - Oneida

Saison 2 · Épisode 11

mardi 20 février 2024 • Durée 59:14

Join Tom Davies and Manish Agarwal in an artist interview with Kid Millions and Bobby Matador from the band that stands to be a beacon of Jagjaguwar's history - Oneida. Turn the clocks back to 1999 to listen through the vast and (generally) celebrated discography, featuring clips from albums Enemy Hogs, Come on Everybody Lets Rock, Anthem of the Moon, Each One Teach One, Secret Wars, The Wedding, Happy New Year, Rated O, Romance, and most recently Success. Get immersed in a band that reconsidered sonic space on a gong tour, wrote a song featured on The Onion as a part of a homework assignment, and created the largest music box in the East Coast (or did they?). In short - never turn away from any idea stupid or clever, or for that matter a gong sample!
