Ep 256 w/ Grecco Romank (NZ)
It's the Grecco Romank takeover! Last week, Auckland trio Grecco Romank released their album Red Tower as a download, cassette, and exclusive perfume. The album was created in the South Island, written in a farmhouse during lockdown and recorded at an abandoned primary school during lambing season. We celebrate the release with a heartfelt journey through lost New Beat, one hit wonders, and Aotearoa avant garde, peppered throughout with recordings of riots and office arguments. The group gives thanks to Joshua Lynn for the assist. For more, head to greccoromank.bandcamp.com Catch them live at Catacombs!
