#117: Deafheaven Vocalist George Clarke

George Clarke from Deafheaven guests this week. We find out what he
thinks about the band's meteoric trajectory since their
inception just a few years ago, what it means to be critically
accepted, shaping the band while members are leaving (and what that
means to the bands sound), his relationship with the
other bandmates and whether he might need therapy soon. We
also discuss the recent "takeover" of the Billboard Top 200 by four
metal bands in the top 20. It may not seem like that many but when
you see 20% of album sales and streaming going to metal new
and old, that's encouraging. The bright spots in metal album sales
have been few and far between, so could this signal a bit of a
trend? Either way Metallica's black album still sold
2000+ copies last week, so at least there's that. Follow us on
