You're tuned into the Hangover Sessions on BFF.fm, coming to you from DJ Webbles' barn-studio in Oakland, California.
Episode 344 opens with three tracks: new music from Jungle and Leisure, plus a local Bay Area pick. After that, the rest of the show belongs to our guests.
Canterbury Bells are back for their second appearance on the show. The Oakland-based alt-folk and queer indie rock outfit dropped their new album Knight & Day on May 1st. We sit down for a full interview, get through eight desert island tracks, and are joined in the barn by Nika, guest singer on album track Rosa. The band also deliver four gorgeous live originals: North, Rosa, Palace of the Moon, and Weather-vane. Through one of their desert island choices, we also end up talking about atolls.
Did you know an atoll is essentially the coral tombstone of a sunken volcano?
The volcano disappears; the reef lives on. Canterbury Bells would probably write a beautiful song about that.
