Eric Tuffendsam has been making waves in the Christian indie rock space in the past two years with his project Sower, after spending two decades behind the scenes as a music producer. He joins the Clubcast to discuss the seminal album Control by Pedro the Lion, the artist who arguably created “Christian indie rock” in the late 90’s and continues to have a strong influence over today’s bands. The conversation about Control does lean into some heavy topics and not-kid-friendly lyrical discussions, but prior to that discussion, Eric asks me a few questions about my song, “Q2FN.” The episode ends with the (embarrassing) 2010 demo of that song.
