#173 - Wave Generators INTERVIEW

The Plug (0:58). The Interview (2:36). As purely a consumer of music, one of the most rewarding and genuinely valuable things to me is to be able articulate why a particular piece of art resonated with me. It’s a big reason why I started this podcast. Even without being a creator of the music myself, I think there’s a lot of insight and provocative thought that someone like me can provide, that can hopefully colour your experience with the music. But that being said, there’s nothing that can replace the perspective of the artist themselves - particularly those that really live and breathe this rap s***. Nosaj of New Kingdom and Height Keech comprise the group known as Wave Generators, and they certainly fall under this category. There are many times during this interview in today’s episode, where they beautifully illustrate the intrinsic beauty of the creative process, somehow putting into words such an abstract concept with ease. This was a fascinating conversation that detailed the organic connection within Wave Generators, and how they conjured such an impactful feeling with their debut record, After the End. The inspiration behind the formation of Wave Generators (3:20). What Height Keech and Nosaj admired about each other’s craft (9:35). Nosaj’s songwriting approach (16:13). What Height Keech learnt through his work with Hemlock Ernst on The Fall Collection (24:41). The heavy rock influence in After the End’s sound (28:05). The recording process for the dynamic song structure of After the End (32:11). The desired takeaway from listening to After the End (43:45). Upcoming projects / tour dates / merch from Wave Generators (47:47).
