Episode 173
This week, Aaron and Brent each try to define what exactly makes a song have a particular vibe to it. As expected, they have vastly different interpretations of the meaning of the word.
They each pick out 3 songs that distinctly represent what the concept of the word means to them and give their explanation for each one.
The guys highlight tracks from artists including Ásgeir, Deee-Lite, Anna of the North, and more in an episode they’ve dubbed “That’s A Damn Vibe”.
