Florian returns for the back-end of the conversation where he and I do a deep dive into all things 2014's "Welter Through the Ashes" by RODHA. We discuss everything that went into the album, how it built upon the "Raw" album that came before it to bring up to the next level, and what happened after the release of the album.

Having this conversation felt like I was hanging out in Hamburg in the mid 2010s and given the fly on the wall treatment to really experience everything that went into the construction of this seminal album.

It was a pleasure to have Florian on and we hope you enjoy the listen.

The two songs used in this episode are (obviously) taken from Welter Through the Ashes

"Overloaded"

"Welter Through the Ashes"

Fun fact - Florian said that not only is "Welter" his favorite RODHA track, it's actually his favorite song he's written for any of his musical projects. And I can see why because it's a real banger.

We've finally gone international (well, out of North America) this week when we bring on Florian Zeh, the man behind the four-string for some amazing bands like Rodha, OK Wait, and Them Falls.

We dig into his past and find out what drew him into music, what interested him in playing bass, the Hamburg scene, and so much more. We even discuss sharing vocal duties in Them Falls.

Florian is not only a talented musician that has produced some amazing music, but he's also a real stand-up guy and had some great stories to share. Enjoy this discussion.

The two songs used in this episode are off the sophomore album by OK Wait - "Signal":

Damage

We brought Thommy Browne back to discuss his criminally lesser-known project Chime Hours. This time around, instead of focusing just on the album, we actually dedicate the entire episode to a discussion of all things Chime Hours - find out how they formed, what their writing and recording was like, songs that didn't make the album, dissolution of the band, and so much more.

Thommy once again brought his straightforward and direct approach to the conversation but also brought in some humor and was a wonderful storyteller as he recalled all of the things that made Chime Hours so unique and interesting.

The two songs used in this episode are (obviously) taken from the Chime Hours EP

"The Walking Man"

"Bad Music Is Killing Home Downloading"

Unfortunately, the CD is sold out but you can still get the album (and all the other amazing Noise Pollution releases) here:
