And We Were So Small: The Music of Polaris

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/02/21

With Miracle Legion's future in limbo after legal troubles with their label at the time, Mark Mulcahy came up with a new name for the group (and alter egos for each band member) when they were approached by Will McRobb to write songs and appear in his upcoming Nickelodeon project. The show was of course The Adventures of Pete and Pete. Not only did they appear in the opening credits and write the theme song for the show, Polaris also played a heavy role in an episode all about discovering your

The World Was So Big: The Music of Miracle Legion

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/02/14

If you were in college in the early 80s and tuned in to your campus radio station, you probably heard a fair amount of R.E.M., maybe some Pixies, or The Smiths even. But you may have heard a lesser known group: Miracle Legion. With similar jangle pop melodies and vocal stylings as Peter Buck and Michael Stipe, the band was often compared to their R.E.M. counterparts. But what made Miracle Legion different is perhaps what kept them from reaching superstardom: the lyrical themes of singer Mark Mulcahy

Rewind: REM - Life's Rich Pageant

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/02/07

Travis is out of town this week, so we're dropping a Rewind episode on you from our first year podcasting back in 2018, where we covered REM's 4th studio album "Life's Rich Pageant". If you were to plot R.E.M's path from underground buzz to household name, their fourth studio album Life's Rich Pageant was the turning point. Coming out of a miserable recording experience in London with Fables of the Reconstruction in 1985, the band heads back to the states and are determined to inject some energy and

Niche-less Indie Rock: The Music Of Ambulance LTD

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/01/31

We're taking a break from the dream pop resurgence of the 2010s to reminisce over one of Quentin's favorite indie rock records from our high school years: Ambulance LTD's "LP" from 2004. With a frontman in constant struggle to keep his band together, and a bankrupt record label preventing him from releasing new material, Marcus Congleton's Ambulance LTD was rather short-lived. Though they may not have had enough time to evolve their sound and bring it to maturity, a band that once said "their niche

Whatcha Heard? The Surprise Surprise Edition

In our first Whatcha Heard episode of the year, we bring everything from 90s emo to some fresh doomgaze, bedroom pop to 90s avant-pop, and a bunch of other great tunes in between. It's our monthly mixtape - join us as we jam out to everything we've been listening to lately.

Steeped In Suburbia: Real Estate - Days

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/01/17

Continuing our streak devoted to dreamy indie pop from the 2010s, we listen to an album steeped in suburbia: Real Estate's Days. Everything from the album art to the lyrical themes harken back to that youthful innocence of growing up in the suburbs. The songs are simple but the song structures are anything but, with jangly guitar melodies and gorgeous harmonies lie somewhere between 60s pop and 90s alternative. So hop on your bicycle and let the phone lines and street lights lead the way as we bask

Lo-Fi Daydream - Beach Fossils

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/01/10

We learned about a new subgenre while researching this record: "twee pop". The term is used to describe music that is simple and innocent, with boy-girl harmonies, lyrical themes about love, and catchy melodies. It's the perfect way to describe Beach Fossil's debut 2010 record. Written, recorded, and produced by frontman and Beach Fossil's founder Dustin Payseur while longing to escape his new home in New York, the album is the perfect antidote to anyone longing for summer, the innocence of youth,

21st Century Dream Pop: Beach House - Teen Dream

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2022/01/03

After signing to Sub Pop, Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand decided it was time to take Beach House's lo-fi signature sound and make everything "bigger". They kept the core ingredients (jangly guitars, organ drones, and Victoria's distinct low, Nico-esque vocals), but added more approachable, hooks and more pop-leaning choruses. You could say they put the "pop" in dream pop more so than any of their predecessors, garnering mainstream success. The band is now synonymous with the genre, and helped to

Rewind: Washed Out And The Chillwave Movement

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2021/11/29

On this week's rewind episode, we take a look at the emergence of chillwave and the role of those dime-a-dozen music blogs of the early 2000s in helping launch this short-lived & blissed-out, shoe-gaze dance genre. Our main dig is on the DIY home recordings of Ernest Greene Hemingway Jr., aka Washed Out, who, along with Toro Y Moi and Neon Indian, were the three main influencers of the chillwave sound. We give a listen to songs from his first three releases spanning from 2009 to 2011. --- Visit

Human In The Machine: Animal Collective's...

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2021/11/22

After the success of Person Pitch, Noah Lennox took those lessons learned with him back into the studio with the rest of Animal Collective to create another touchstone record of the 2000s. This time, the melodic electronica that felt more man than machine was refined and amplified to an infectious, hypnotic, and deeply human electronic record. The record improves even more on their trademark harmonies with Noah and Avey Tare sounding better together than ever, and the lyrical themes very much a

Panda Bear - Person Pitch (with guest Josh Stewart)

2021/11/15

With our buddy Josh joining us once again, we gush over Panda Bear's 2007 touchstone indie record Person Pitch. Trading in the usual guitar for a Roland sampler, Noah Lennox created a record made up almost entirely of samples ranging from Cat Stevens to a hooting owl. His reverb-drenched vocals, often densely layered to create harmonies on par with Beach Boys, paired perfectly with his introspective lyrical themes focused on his marriage, his newfound fatherhood, and even deeply personal stories

On this month's Whatcha Heard, Travis breaks our lengthy metal dry spell with some Norwegian thrash metal, Quentin gets reacquainted with one half of Air, and Adriano Celentano leaves us scratching our heads with his classic 70s hit full of English gibberish. We also dive into some dark and moody synth-pop from the 70s and 80s, and a sprinkling of post-punk and emo for good measure.

No Filler Rewind: Spoon - A Series Of Sneaks

No Filler Music Podcast ·

2021/10/25

In this early No Filler episode, we kicked off our deep dive into indie rock gods Spoon. We started with A Series of Sneaks, where Spoon still had their feet firmly planted in the alt rock post punk that came before them (think Pixies and Sonic Youth). We chat about how the label's lackluster support for the record jaded the band and how it ultimately helped set the tone for the album that followed, and the band we now know and love.
