This week we are thrilled to be joined once again by the wonderful AdequateEmily to discuss the ostentatious, delightfully absurd, heady maximalism of Black Midi's highly-hyped new record HELLFIRE - but how does Hellfire hold up? We also discuss the thoroughly bonkers new album Special from late '10s pop sensation Lizzo, explore the weird and wild oeuvre of Marilyn Manson, check in on new efforts from Jack White, Interpol, Gospel, and Ghais Guevera, and much much more! It's a jam-packed episode filled with insights and musings on some of the year's wildest music so far.
