Lava Lamps and Warhol Paintings: The Soundcarriers' Celeste

E

For peak enjoyment of The Soundcarriers, you must first acquire a lava lamp, a Warhol painting, some shag carpet (a rug will do), and put on your best 60s mod score from the thrift store down the street. Everything about this group (down to the font choice in the liner notes) is steeped in the effortlessly cool sound of 60s psychedelic folk. Today we dive into their 2010 record Celeste, where The Soundcarriers mix in 60s/70s library music and avant pop with their psychedelic sound to create an album best enjoyed by tuning in and dropping out.

Dreamy Fuzzy Breezy: Ovlov's Buds

E

We take a break from the 90s and spend some time in this decade with a deep dive into a fantastic little indie record from 2021: Ovlov's Buds. Coming in at just under 25 minutes in length, this record is the perfect collection of short, poppy, indie rock gems that pack a punch. Soft vocals and melodies contrasted by moments of disorienting low end and cranked up fuzz a la J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. make this record stand out in the slew of bedroom pop, punk-leaning indie records. And as an added bonus: there's even an impromptu saxophone solo snuck in for good measure. Need I say more? Tracklist Ovlov - Baby Shea Ovlov - Eat More Ovlov - Strokes Ovlov - Cheer Up, Chihiro!

Outside The Lines: The Elusive Sound of Majesty Crush

E

We chat about the short-lived and underrated indie band Majesty Crush. With lead singer David Stroughter's neurotic vocal delivery and a sound that didn't fit neatly within the lines of the 90s rock soundscape, Majesty Crush defied categorization in their brief but spectacular career. Their music is being celebrated in the release of Butterflies Don't Go Away, a compilation record featuring all tracks from their Love 15 debut record as well as their handful of EPs that followed. Join as we dive into one of the most underrated shoegaze acts of the 90s.

We pay attention to an often ignored genre on this beloved podcast of ours: electronic music. Sure we sneak it in from time to time, but it rarely gets the love it deserves.

The Radiohead of Metal: Deftone's Around The Fur

E

Eager to ditch the nu-metal label, Deftones headed into the studio with a goal to separate themselves from the pack on their second album Around the Fur. This ambition saw the group embrace their non-metal influences, leaning on the cerebral and ethereal qualities of bands like Depeche Mode. This combined with Chino Moreno's unusual vocals gave Around the Fur it's signature loud-soft dynamic, perhaps earning the band it's reputation as "the metal band it's okay for non-metal fans to like." Tracklist Deftones - My Own Summer (Shove It) Deftones - Lhabia Deftones - Mascara Deftones - Dai the Flu Deftones - Damone Deftones - Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) This show is part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.

But you'll also get children's songs written by a beloved 90s alt-rocker, an aggressive blues-harmonica, and some epic 70s jazz-fusion from a group of musicians that used to pal around with Miles Davis.

The Trailblazing, Ear-Bleeding Fuzz of Dinosaur Jr.

E

To kick off the year, we return to our deep-dive episode format with a look at Dinosaur Jr.'s second record, the massively influential fuzz of You're Living All Over Me. The signature ear-bleeding guitar sound and slacker vocal delivery J Mascis perfected on this record went on to influential countless grunge acts and indie bands in the 90s and 2000s. This record was way ahead of its time and a truly seminal record that hinted at was right around the corner just years before grunge would take the underground mainstream.

Spooktober Rewind: Slashers and Synthwaves

E

This episode originally aired October 31st, 2020. John Carpenter is often referred to as the master of horror. His iconic Halloween franchise defined the slasher film formula for decades to come. But for fans of synthwave music (and the use of synth in cinema), we have Carpenter to thank for that as well. His extremely effective use of synths to build atmosphere and heighten tension in his films went on to influence countless synthwave artists and film composers. On this Halloween bonus episode of No Filler, we listen to a couple tracks from his 1982 score for Halloween III, and talk about his legacy in both film and music. Tracklist: "The Fog Theme" "Chariots of Pumpkins" (Halloween III) "Local Boy, No Way" (Halloween III) "The Upside Down" (Stranger Things) "Halloween Theme" This show is part of the Pantheon Podcast network.

Spooktober Rewind: The Undoing of David Wright

E

This episode originally aired October 31st, 2019. On this, the Eve of Hallow's, we're heading to the graveyard with shovels in hand. We bring along a Walkman and Quentin's CD copy of "We Dig With Finger's Crossed" to help set the ambiance for the evening. One of The Undoing of David Wright's only full-length albums, this little known gem from 2005 tells the story of William Burke & William Hare, the infamous 19th century grave robbers of Edinburgh, Scotland. The UoDW was an extremely short-lived post-modern electro-punk band hailing from Denton, Texas circa early 2000s. While attending college at The University of North Texas, these guys made a name for themselves for their Rocky Horror Picture Show-esque vibes, often donning makeup and wearing clothes fashioned out of trash bags.

Rewind: Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow

E

To honor the late, great, irreplaceable Jeff Beck, here's an episode from the No Filler archives on his 1975 debut solo record, Blow By Blow. Hot on the trails of our deep dive into Larry Carlton's Steely Dan guitar solos, we thought we'd pay some homage to another guitar god from the same era: the one and only Jeff Beck. On this episode, we take a listen to his 1975 debut solo record Blow By Blow. Having tried a few times to put together a successful rock group after his departure from The Yardbirds, Beck gravitated more toward the jazz-rock fusion from his sessions with the band Upp, whom he produced and played on their first record. Out of those sessions came the groundwork for Blow By Blow, an incredible showcase of Beck's prowess behind the fretboard. Produced by George Martin (the fifth Beatle himself), and with help from Stevie Wonder (who lended 2 of his tracks to the record and even plays clavinet on one of them), join us as we Blow By Blow geek out over how truly amazing this record is and how it helped put Beck on the path to becoming one of the greatest guitar players of all time.

Ep 257Rewind: Beyond Zombie - The Overlooked Gems From The Cranberries First Three Records

E

You've heard "Dreams" and "Linger". You've probably heard "Zombie" close to a gazillion times by now. But as we like to say around here, it's often the tracks between the singles that need another listen (or for some - a first listen). We dive into The Cranberries' first three records and marvel over how unmatched Dolores O'Riordan's powerful and unique vocals were in the 90s rock landscape, and how refusing to shed their Irish origins made her voice that much more powerful by giving western audiences a perspective we may never have heard. Tracklist: The Cranberries - Reason The Cranberries - Pretty The Cranberries - Still Can't The Cranberries - Yeats' Grave The Smiths - Bigmouth Strikes Again The Cranberries - I Just Shot John Lennon The Cranberries - Bosnia The Cranberries - Linger (live from MTV's Most Wanted) This show is part of the Pantheon Podcast network.

Ep 256Space Age Dream Pop: The Music of Sweet Trip

E

At the start of the new millenium, Sweet Trip took the dream pop and shoegaze formula of the 90s and brought it into the digital age with their ever-evolving sound and constant experimentation. In 2003, Velocity: Design: Comfort. blended classic elements of dream pop and shoegaze with glitch pop, IDM, and techno to create a genre-defying sound and push dream pop into brand new territories. Six years later on You Will Never Know Why, they changed their sound yet again, this time with more "raw and bare and simple", striped-down guitar-driven indie tracks that paved that way for dream pop's next big wave.

Ep 249Rewind: Slashers and Synthwave - The Music of John Carpenter

E

John Carpenter is often referred to as the master of horror. His iconic Halloween franchise defined the slasher film formula for decades to come. But for fans of synthwave music (and the use of synth in cinema), we have Carpenter to thank for that as well. His extremely effective use of synths to build atmosphere and heighten tension in his films went on to influence countless synthwave artists and film composers. On this Halloween bonus episode of No Filler, we listen to a couple tracks from his 1982 score for Halloween III, and talk about his legacy in both film and music. Tracklist: "The Fog Theme" "Chariots of Pumpkins" (Halloween III) "Local Boy, No Way" (Halloween III) "The Upside Down" (Stranger Things) "Halloween Theme" This show is part of the Pantheon Podcast network.

Ep 248Rewind: Dark and Dazey - The Music of Cock & Swan

E

Following last week's episode on Bowery Electric, we pull from the No Filler vaults with our episode on Seattle shoegaze group Cock & Swan. They pick up where Bowery left off with a similar blend of shoegaze and downtempo. Johnny Goss and Ola Hungerford have a knack for creating these wonderfully dark & dazey, lusciously lo-fi tunes, often with jerky, slightly odd rhythms.

Ep 247Shoegaze Rewired: The Music of Bowery Electric

E

Bowery Electric became one of the first rock groups to incorporate samplers and laptops into their setup with their 1996 record Beat. The result took the somber, ambient shoegaze sound from their self-titled record and blended it with downtempo and trip-hop beats.

We're dusting off an episode from August 25th, 2019 for a closer look at the shoegazing dream pop outfit Slowdive.

Ep 243Raw, Visceral, Mysterious: The Breeder's Pod (with guest Nathan Forster)

E

Shortly after Doolittle, bassist Kim Deal needed an outlet to channel her creative energies in ways she wasn't able to under Black Francis' firm grip on the Pixies' songwriting process. So she formed a supergroup called The Breeders, teamed up with producer Steve Albini, and cranked out their debut record Pod in just 10 days. The result is an unapologetically straight-forward indie rock album that feels like an urgent expression of raw emotion and energy from a pent-up songwriter who had a hell of a lot to say. Join us as we chat about The Breeders album that came out before "Cannonball" made them a household name among rock fans.
