On this episode, longtime Bay area indie artist Tom Smith (Smokin' Ziggurats, Office, Mazes, Social Studies, Silverware, Abracadabra) is my guest artist -- chatting about his new project OTOLITHS, created in the wake of becoming a new parent. His debut LP "Lithos" is a fantastic guitar-driven post-punk meets jangle pop experience that travels sonically through eras. Plus, two full hours of fresh music from the Bay and beyond.
