Episode 5 - David Bowie, Destroyer, Surgeon

11:01am - 12:00pm

A David Bowie album? It was inevitable really, the only surprise is that it's taken five shows for us to get here. But here we have got and it's time for Young Americans, the first Bowie album to truly pivot away from the glam rock that had brought him so much success. What did he pivot to? Dive in and find out.

Our Canadian album is also pretty new and comes from Vancouver stalwart, Destroyer, whose 14th album Dan's Boogie arrived in March. Harking back to some of Dan Bejar's most iconic albums like 2009's Kaputt its short run time belies the space and expansiveness of its tracks.

And our final album gives us time to get a little heavy as we explore British techno artist Surgeon's rampaging, pulverising record Shell~Wave which came out in early May, so make sure you've got your dancing shoes to hand for the last few minutes of the show.
