This week we’re discussing Thunderball, the latest album by Melvins. Technically, this was released as Melvins 1983, which has the band’s very first drummer, Mike Dillard, on drums instead of Dale Crover. Thunderball also features experimental musicians Void Manes and Ni Maitres lending electronic contributions. If you’re a fan of the early 90s sludge era of Melvins, then this is the album for you.   Patreon   Merch   Mike’s EP: Pander Monkey on , , ,   Mike on Instagram  Alex on Bluesky Tom on Instagram   History Tom’s stuff: Music on , Podcast on ...

This week we’re discussing every album by King Krule, the stage name and project of London’s Archy Ivan Marshall. King Krule is what you get when you blend jazz, indie, psychedelic, and trip hop, all while coating it in the dreamiest production you can imagine. Maybe his style isn’t for everyone, but his production prowess alone is worthy of deep analysis. Mike and Alex disagree big time on King Krule, so pick your side and watch us fight.
