Hamilton Leithauser returns to discuss growing up in D.C. and being influenced by bands on Dischord Records, working as recording engineer Don Zientara’s assistant at his Inner Ear studio while Fugazi was recording Red Medicine, recalling how Roy Orbison helped him find his singing voice, getting into home recording, having restraint and foresight as a one-man studio band, pondering the tenth anniversary of I Had a Dream That You Were Mine while avoiding nostalgic pats on the back, digging into songs like “The Bride’s Dad” and This Side of the Island’s “What Do I Think,” embracing midlife, how voices like Bob Dylan’s seem imbued with American history, getting into soundtrack and film scoring work, opening for the Strokes, other future plans, and much more.

Ep. #1064: Aquakultre

Post date February 5, 2026

Lance Sampson from Aquakultre returns to discuss his new album 1783, the time I saw him request and receive chicken wings while performing on-stage and why his friends and family often engage in their own version of Hot Ones, how his research about the history of African Nova Scotia or Black Nova Scotia led him to write songs, why he engaged in this research initially and what he learned about his home province, his fascination with historical fractures and community-building, police and cultural erasure, archival recordings and eeriness, working with producer Erin Costelo and the sound of this record, a family singalong and the motion picture Jaws, what’s next for 1783, other future plans, and much more.
