Geoff Barrow interview/battle (FULL)

Hey One Song Nation, we’re excited to announce that a whole spate of new episodes is coming your way October 15. We’ve got a new partner and a bunch of new songs to break down coming soon. Listen to today’s episode for a sneak peek at what’s coming up.  Today, we’re breaking open the Patreon and pulling out an instant classic: our contentious (but not really) interview with Geoff Barrow (Portishead, Beak>, Ex Machina). We asked Geoff: Does breaking down music ruin it?  This feud began in the DMs of the One Song Pharcyde episode, when Barrow messaged LUXXURY to say “Why does everyone need to break everything down to weird maths? White people ruin all music by doing this. They always have.” We’re unearthing this debate to relitigate the showdown of the century (which is actually a very polite conversation by very nice men). We also get into the hip hop origins of Portishead, Geoff’s hot takes on LCD Soundsystem, and the process of composing music for film vs. a band.
