Grammy-nominated jazz/R&B ensemble, Terri Lyne Carrington + Social Science, joins us for this edition of Soundcheck to play some new songs from their new album, Trip the Night Fantastic.

Welcome to the WASABI edition of Soundcheck! No, not the spicy green paste that comes with your sushi order. We’re talking about the collaborative project formed by the London-born indie rock band Art Brut and their New York counterpart, We Are Scientists, known as We Are Scientists Art Brut International. Though they released a collaborative record in 2019, each band visited our studios at separate moments in time. But how could we not combine their sessions into one when they all spoke so fondly of each other? Join us, as we revisit their recent live performances and interviews with our host, John Schaefer. We Are Scientists' Setlist: 1. Please Don't Say It 2. Dead Letters 3. What You Want Is Gone Art Brut's Setlist: 1. Formed a Band 2. Emily Kane Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
