Episode 12 of This Is Not Happening strides from Genesis Owusu's Smiling With No Teeth to the much-anticipated new album from St Vincent: Daddy's Home. The New York art-rock darling has embraced the underbelly of the 1970s with a new persona and some eye-catching tracks. Megafan David tries to convince us why we should all love it. It's definitely a tug of war for an album that's found reactions at both extremes. We also put together a playlist of music that makes us lean to Annie Clark.
In the second half of the episode, we set the seemingly impossible task of convincing each other to like a song from artists that they hate. What were we thinking?! Our longlist is here, see what we thought of the picks:
David via Joey – Manic Street Preachers – You’re Tender And You’re Tired
Guy via Nolan – The Weeknd – High For This
Nolan via David - Muse – Falling Down
Joey via Guy – Arcade Fire – Intervention
June's album of the month and all our new tracks, playlists, and chat from the past decade or more can be found on our blog at www.thisisnothappening.net, which runs alongside the podcast choices and much, much more. Swing by and you'll hopefully enjoy what we're talking about and if you like it, we'd love to hear from you on the socials (links below).
Episode #13 takes us into series 2 of the podcast, and sees Nolan bring some hip-hop to the table with Skyzoo's new album All The Brilliant Things. as the celebrated New Yorker takes us into his world. Skyzoo will be coming to you before the end of July.
