This week’s podcast showcases SF indie rock band The Dont’s, who release their third album, Those Delicate Chemicals, this month. These guys first caught our attention with 2007’s Inner El Camino, which fused a love for melodic indie-pop melodies and brainy art-rock grooves. Those Delicate Chemicals isn’t just the next step for the band; it’s a leap forward, benefiting from sounding great and three years of work by guys who are simultaneously meticulous craftsmen and loose improvisers. Like many of the fun-oriented bands we’ve interviewed, The Dont’s come off as a bunch of goofy guys with serious musical talents.
We’ve also included four songs from Those Delicate Chemicals in the episode.
