We catch up with one of our favorite local quirky musician guys (and his chaperone), on a brief visit home to support Radiohead through Australasia.

Listen to an interview with Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood from their 1998 OK Computer tour, here.

The Sampler: Grizzly Bear
It’s a task Nick Bollinger’s been mulling over for a while now- just how to unfurl the tightly woven threads of Grizzly Bear’s fourth album. He examines Shields just in time for their New Zealand shows.

Baths
LA producer Will Wiesenfield talks about found sounds and competing beats before his New Zealand shows next week.

The Secret Life of Video Game Music Composers
From the simplest binary code ditties to huge orchestral scores with complex, interactive layers, video game soundtracks are integral to the action, emotion, and adrenaline levels of the gamer.
We take a look at the early history of computer game music with chip-tune enthusiast Disasteradio, meet British Composer Nitin Sawhney, who has worked on some big-budget games, and Jeramiah Ross, aka Module, a NZ Musician who has found his niche creating sound-worlds for mobile video games.
Nitin Sawhney.

Seth Frightening
Wellington’s Sean Kelly aka Seth Frightening has been crafting curious folk offerings since high school. He joins us ahead of the release of his second album Don't You Worry (Heat Death), and Grizzly Bear support shows.
