R.RING: Ignite the Rest with Kelley Deal and Mike Montgomery

R.RING: Ignite the Rest with Kelley Deal and Mike Montgomery

Kelley Deal and Mike Montgomery of the band R.RING talk about songwriting, ghosts, salamanders and the weather...a LOT. The music of R.RING is sparse, abrasive, chaotic and lulling... often within the same song. Kelley also plays with The Breeders in Dayton, OH. Mike owns and operates Candyland Recording Studio in Dayton, KY.

On this episode we discuss 2 songs. Track 5 - Unwinds - and track 6 - Flies. I try to go deep and ponder the fragile tension that holds a society...ooops!...I mean a universe together while Mike attempts to spread fake news about spider farming. (Wait...Is that a thing?)
