Well, it's been a year since the last episode of the friendly sounds podcast, & we're sorry about that. We enjoy it as much as you do, so we're sorry if that broke your heart at any point, but we can say for sure that it feels good to be talking about music again. To be entirely transparent, we're not sure what the schedule is going to look like coming up, but we love talking about music, so we'd like to keep doing what we can. This week we've thrown a couple songs we've been listening to into a playlist and just started chatting about them. Nathan and Jonny are still sluts for some good song composition, and that's never going to change, so we're here to just chill for a few and hopefully spend some nice time with you. Thank you for listening :) we've missed you.
We have a tech expert on our team this time! Nathan and Jonny are joined by Austin to talk about Mat Zo's latest EP, Tracing Steps. Tracing steps holds a variety of styles and influences from a borderline folk introduction to experimental electro and nudisco sentiments. Long story short it's wild, and the production is great. Listen to these dweebs talk about it! As always thank you very much for listening, and especially for sticking with us given emotional and technical difficulties as of late. If you like it please share it with a friend, and we hope you have a lovely day!
After missing a release Nathan and Jonny are here to partially explain why, they've been stressed, they've been tired, they've been focused on more basic things than recording their luscious voices, like eating, and sleeping, and the sort. Things have been a bit rough around the friendly sounds headquarters, so here they are to talk about the music they listen to when times are hard. We hope you enjoy it, share if with a friend if you'd be so kind, and we hope you have a lovely day! We really do.

Hope this episode is enjoyable, and have a wonderful week <3
Hi friends! This week is another pass the aux with a local Colorado indie rock band Science Partner from Nathan and a very pretty Swedish post rock Sleeping at Last from Jonny!

Whoo! Nathan just left for the UK and Jonny just got back home, so we're sending you an episode from just after Rezz Rocks. It's a pass the aux episode with a bit of a strange combination.

As always please share with a friend if you like the show and enjoy! Thank you for listening!
