Ep 11 - Genesis Owusu - Smiling With No Teeth

Episode 11 of This Is Not Happening departs from the ethereal
Weather Station to a debut album of rare and mighty impact from
Genesis Owusu. Smiling With No Teeth comes from an
Australian-Ghanaian whose melting-pot influences have created one
of the most fascinating and memorable albums of the year for an
artist capturing lived experience in the starkest and brutally
honest way. Guy's at the controls to sing about it from the
rooftops. We also went big on music that the album inspired us to
dive into.

In the second half of the show, we tasked ourselves with finding
a hidden gem we should already know. So much fun to do this, with
a longlist here. The four we chose are:

David - Syreeta - Harmour Love
Joey - The Cars - A Dream Away
Guy - Herbie Hancock - The Twilight Clone
Nolan - Them Two - Am I A Good Man

May's album of the month and all our playlists, new music and
discussions from the past decade or more can be found on our blog
at www.thisisnothappening.net, which runs alongside the podcast
choices and much, much more. Take a minute to dip in and you'll
hopefully enjoy what we're talking about and if you like it, we'd
love to hear from you on the socials (links below).

Episode #12 closes out our first year with David going mega-fan
on St Vincent's new album Daddy's Home. The latest from the
vaunted singer, guitarist and avant-garde musical shapeshifter
will be coming to you before the end of May.
