("Mt. Eerie" by The Microphones
)
Sometimes musicians like to look at ideas from more than one angle (or more than one song), and they may want to tell a story and take the listener on a journey. Then we find ourselves in the territory of the "concept album," a group of interconnected songs which, through its scope, tries to touch on some big ideas. Here are two albums, one old"S.F. Sorrow" by The Pretty Thingsand one new"Mount Eerie" by The Microphoneswhich deal with the subjects of life and death and mountain journeys, and do so with a group of imaginative songs and surprising sounds. We'll hear both albums from start to finish. Host David Garland also presents selections from the album "The Isle" by World Standard and Wechsel Garland, an album of elegant instrumentals that explore a musical island and enjoy its serenity.
