This Is Not Happening - An Album Of The Month Podcast
Ep. 31 | Young Fathers | Heavy Heavy
Show Notes

In Part 1 we speak in depth about Young Fathers latest album 'Heavy Heavy' and how it packs such a punch in 32 minutes.  In Part 2 we play 'Spin it or bin it?', the theme this month is the curious anomaly that is 'Post Genre'.

Part 1 | Album of the Month | Young Fathers | Heavy Heavy

It's Guy's choice this month and we return back to an artist that we spoke about 9 years ago when they released their debut 'Dead'. Across 3 previous releases, Young Fathers have secured near universal critical acclaim, yet little commercial success. Is Heavy Heavy the album that will change this. It looks like it. But that doesn't mean this is a collection of easy listening pop tunes. We discuss what this is, what we love and the live experience.  If you know them enjoy, if you don't dig in!

Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | Post Genre

What the hell is post genre? In this discussion we prove that we're really not sure!

  1. Guy chose - Mantra by Charlotte Adigery and Bolis Pupul 
  2. Nolan Chose - BTSTU by Jai Paul 
  3. Joey chose - B.O.B. by Outkast 
  4. David chose - L'Elephant by Tom Tom Club 

A 16 track Post Genre playlist (4 tracks each) can be found - Here (this is a good one!)
