PODCAST #78 Exit 72A
This podcast is dedicated to the drives north towards the Catskills, escaping city life watching the concrete sun-blocking sky'rapers turn to dirt and trees. This is for that ethereal escape...
- (0:00:14) Sebastian The Crab HOW - About a month ago, my wife and I were coming through the Canal Street stop on the N train and I heard a loud distorted synth that sounded like it was plugged through an old British Invasion amp. The sound was so thick and melodic that it filled the passageway and down through each of the subway tunnels - probably echoed over the bridge to Brooklyn for all I know. It was fantastic! I hadn't heard much beautiful electronic music being played in the subway in 12 years that channeled the wonders of Kieran Hebden (Four Tet, see next track remix) and company's melody. I was shocked that I was hearing it in the subway, truly, and apparently, so was my wife. We listened for a minute, threw in a buck, but had to get somewhere. I know we didn't stay long, wherever we were going, because on our way back, we had a chance to catch him again. This time I grabbed his card and couldn't wait to go home and see if he had put any goodies on his website. Luckily for me (and you, too) he had a whole EP to download called HOW DOES IT FEEL (http://sebastianthecrab.bandcamp.com/). I needed to email him to thank him for providing such a memorable performance that evening in and out of the subway passages. I wrote him wanting to use his music, specifically this track HOW, in a podcast, which he so humbly and graciously permitted, and he responded with an insight into the song, "When I titled that song 'How', I was thinking philosophically of the idea of a modus operandi, a plan of action, "How are we/am I going to do this?" Please check out his music on his site, listen to catch a glimpse of his M.O., and support talented independent creators alike (http://sebastianthecrabmusic.tumblr.com/biography).
