RADIO ECMA S2E5:In this week’s episode, we hear the story of brothers in arms. Host Chris Batstone sits down to chat with recent 2021 ECMA Loud Recording of the Year Nominee, Sonic Detour (NB). This sextet discusses the various ways in which they met (including as childhood friends, a Kijiji ad, and a pawn shop run in), the surprising importance of danceability in their genre, and the role the pandemic played in recording their debut EP. What Chris deems “an excellent episode.” You won’t want to miss out on this one!
