Gregg and Karim welcome to the show, Joel Plaskett!
The episode begins with Joel Plaskett discussing his new record and the changing relationship with the songs once they are released. Joel explored the impact of audience interpretation and the challenges of articulating the original intent without unraveling it. Joel also shared his experience with using analog technology to record his music, emphasizing the nostalgic and human qualities that the limitations of this technology bring to the recordings. We also engaged in a deep exploration of the theme of shadows and the tension of opposites in the record.
The conversation then shifted to Joel's cross Canada tour and his approach to presenting the new album. He expressed a preference for a relaxed atmosphere during the performances and discussed the potential impact of limiting phone use to enhance audience engagement. Additionally, Joel mentioned his intention to honor requests for older catalog songs while looking forward to showcasing the new material.
The episode concluded with Joel Plaskett sharing his excitement for the release of his new album and discussing his current musical preferences.
