A podcast centred around the discussion of concept albums. Join Evan and Alex as they dissect an album track-by-track, delving into lyric interpretations, songwriting, the album's production and more.
Then, stick around for the bonus Post-Gap segment where they discuss other music related happenings (occasionally related to the featured album) in a more chaotic format!
Join us this week as Alex and Evan look back on the albums we've covered this season, what we've learned, what we wish we did differently and how much each others' picks have stayed with us since the episode.
Also discussed: what to expect with Season 2 and The Patreon going forward.
Thanks everyone for your support and we will see you in Season 2! (and over on Patreon for The B-Sides ;))

We Don't Have Each Other
"I won't let go, even if you say so"
This week, Evan torments* Alex with the debut solo album by The Wonder Years' Dan Campbell (in-character under the moniker of Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties) We Don't Have Each Other. Dan eschews his trademark pop-punk sound for a more folk-rock/roots aesthetic, whilst delivering a linear narrative primarily dealing with the aftermath of the divorce of a couple. The tracks also explore themes of isolation, guilt, despair, indecision, addiction and grief.
Post-Gap: Dad Rock Draft
*Alex was going through it.
