In the back-half of our discussion with Neil, we do a deep dive onto all things related to "The Fear Is Unsafe." As a bonus, we also discuss the recording of "Rip Myself Off (Again) which was recorded during the same session (along with a bunch of other yet-to-be-released songs) and everything that went into the album.
You'll find out Neil's approach to songwriting and recording, some of the meanings behind the album, how Neil's politics and the shape of the world help shape the songs, and so much more.
This album left us waiting for the next batch of songs to get released since Rollo is still actively working on their follow-up album.
The song used in this episode was taken from "The Fear Is Unsafe" (duh)
