Ep. #1110: G̱a̱mksimoon

Jeremy Pahl from G̱a̱mksimoon is here to discuss their debut album Gyiin Naxnox (Feeding the Supernatural), the Hartley Bay region of British Columbia where he and his community reside, his personal linguistic journey and keen interest in cultural and language perpetuation, entering death metal and folk music realms but finding both to be problematic or stifling in some way, getting into metal as a kid because of a babysitters’ Scorpions album cover, pondering and actually encountering sasquatch, political cultural expression and cultural expression that is politicized, insight about the field recordings included on this album, his interest tending to long neglected crab apple orchards, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.

Ep. #1109: Converge

Jacob Bannon from Converge is here to discuss the band’s 2026 albums released to date, Love Is Not Enough and Hum of Hurt, the penchant for DIY workers to multi-task and take on various kinds of projects every day, the increasing demand for artists to execute all manner of album release-related and promotional tasks, his thoughts on the impact of artificial intelligence on visual art and design as a practice, releasing two Converge albums in the same calendar year but suggesting the second isn’t a sequel, how the band determined which songs belonged on which of the two new albums, whether the song sequences are connected by lyrical themes, a mysterious hum that has impacted people around the world, creating compassionate work, how his dynamic singing approach impacts the emotional tenor and tone of a song and citing bands who’ve inspired him as a vocalist, whether or not Converge will release a third album in 2026, excitement about curating this December’s Saddest Day festival, upcoming Converge tour dates, other future plans, and much more.

Claire Devlin and Eli Davidovici from Bellbird are here for a springtime talk about their new album The Call, the McGill University music program, why so many musicians from British Columbia wind up in Montreal, their respective early interests in top 40 pop radio, mainstream and classic rock, and eventually jazz and free music, how improvisation can feel like freedom but also be quite frightening, the cultural hub that was Resonance Café, playing improvisation games, delving into the political nature of songs like “Blowing on Embers” and “Soft Animal” and dedicating the former to a free Palestine, relating to birds, playing a show at Suoni Per Il Popolo on June 28, 2026, working on new songs, other future plans, and much more.
