On today’s episode I have a conversation with Al Menne. Al came up in the music scene as the lead singer of Seattle-based rock band Great Grandpa, who’s 2019 album Four of Arrows was one of my favourites that year. Al has an amazing warbly voice that can switch

between registers in this seamless way which makes them one of my favourite working vocalists. They’ve just released their debut solo album Freak Accident which came out on 22nd September onDouble Double Whammy, and it’s absolutely stunning. I love everysong on the record and it will definitely be in and around the top ofmy list of favourite albums of the year. In our conversation we talkabout their songwriting process, anger, and their short run as astand up comedian among other things.
