The Breakdown

The Breakdown

Do you ever hear music that is so good, it triggers an existential crisis? Or, are you a fellow musician riddled with ADHD seeking solace in another's endless stream of thoughts? Either way--this podcast is for you. On "The Breakdown," I, your irreverent host, Frankie, take apart my favorite albums, simultaneously giving you a crash course in various aspects of the music (vocals, lyricism, aesthetics) and providing my own thoughts and opinions on what makes the piece so exceptional. From hard rock bands such as Måneskin, to electronic solo acts like Djo, I will be covering music of all levels of popularity and various genres. So, without further ado--let's break down.
