Episode 2: Bronson Arm interview

Bronson Arm is a noise-rock duo based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, comprising Blake Bickel on vocals and baritone guitar, alongside Garrett Yates on drums. With their debut, self-titled, full-length album set for release on 12 January (Learning Curve Records) I caught up with the pair to talk about the forthcoming record and their experiences making music together. Everything about Bronson Arm generates a certain feeling of unease, from the song titles, to the album artwork, the band name and the music itself. As you’ll hear in the interview this was all very intentional Blake and Garrett looking for ways to keep listeners. on their toes. I knew the album was going to be right up my street within minutes of my first listen to an advance copy of the album. I was also pretty sure it would be just right for Every Album Ever With Mike & Alex. Well, it definitely piqued Mike’s interest. I never want to spoil the surprise of what Mike & Alex think of the music they discuss on the podcast, so I don’t know what they thought of the album, but I know they recorded an episode on it. That’ll be available on YouTube and Spotify later this day. I highly recommend that you check it out. You can order a copy of the album from the Learning Curve Records web store.
