Episode #104: The Incoherents with Alex Emanuel

Director Jared Barel's The Incoherents sees four 40-somethings each mired in some sort of midlife malaise reunite their '90s indie rock band. Written by Jeff Auer, who also plays the lead role of Bruce, the film explores friendships, marriage, and life in general through the eyes of these guys, just trying to play the songs they love. Alex Emanuel, who plays the role of Jimmy, served as music supervisor, and along with Jeff Auer, wrote the original songs the band performed in the film. Emanuel recruited some friends -- guitarist Sean Eden of Luna and drummer Kevin March of Guided By Voices -- to perform on the tracks as well, resulting in a collection of tunes which perfectly capture the era in which they were supposed to have been written. We spoke with Alex Emanuel ahead of the film's release back in April to talk about all of this, and more.
