   Never A Phase 32: Cold Wrecks

   Never A Phase 32: Cold Wrecks On this episode of the Never A Phase Podcast, Swemo talks to Cold Wrecks. And it’s a lot of chaos. Full disclosure, this conversation was recorded the end of July, went twohours of three tired men…very distracted…often talking over each other and pulling at every random thread they could find. BUT, at the heart of this episodecwe have a very real conversation about making music in times of transition inyour life including parenthood, mourning, a global pandemic and, y’know, plunging into fascism. It’s long. It’s messy. But it’s a great conversation. Cold Wrecks put out a new album You Can’t Plan For This back in August and will be playing with Spanish Love Songs on November 8th in NYC and appearing at the FEST in Gainesville, FL October 23rd, opening for Fenix TX at Heartwood.
