I’m joined by Michael Sharpnack to discuss a handful of his favorite artists, honing in specifically on Tool and their 2019 comeback album Fear Inoculum, which spirals into a number of topics about musicality, percussion, odd time signatures, and what we like about left-of-center music. Multiple of my songs get mentioned and discussed throughout the conversation, and the episode ends with the original 2016 demo of “Cave.”
