Some experimental songs make the experiment happen in your head. If the music is "normal," but the words or singer's voice are surreal or unexpected, then the listener has to make adjustments in their well-worn paths of perception. It can inspire a little extra thinking about who the artist might be, what they're doing, what we're hearing, and what our assumptions are. Host David Garland presents a few songs that might cause such refreshing re-adjustment, by Death Vessel, Wooden Wand, Bosque Brown, MV & EE, and others. Also, a brief experiment in musical memory, and more.
