Episode 21 - Jason Roberts (Breaths)

Everyone knows that Bert from Mary Poppins is the earliest
example of a one-man band - but that doesn’t mean he’s the
best.  Imagine if he was cranking out blackened, doomgazey
post-metal, had a less confusing accent and didn't force
innocents to dive into his chalk-based nightmarescapes. That's
essentially Jason Roberts - multi-instrumentalist and sole member
of Breaths. 

Jason joins us from Richmond, Virginia to chat about Breaths’
incredibly good debut album, Lined in Silver. We talk about
influences, juggling music with a full time job and family life,
and Jason informs us, in the most relaxed manner, that he once
opened for a band so famous even your gran knows them. No big
deal.

Before Jason ushers the kids out of the house and psyches himself
up for being on the world’s greatest podcast*, Graham and Kieran
broach a broad range of  enthralling topics - gardening,
painting, cleaning and securing the future of this humble show by
having babies within ten days of each other. Sometimes we wish we
were listeners rather than hosts, so we could ride this audio
rollercoaster unaware of the thrills that await us.
