On his debut solo album Compassion—out now from Carpark Records—he layers indie rock guitars, drum loop beats, and harmony-laden vocals that feel like Yo La Tengo snuggling up with Primal Scream or Len if they were part of the Elephant 6 collective.On this special episode of Hotline, he answers questions from the 1-877-WASTOIDS hotline about important topics like pizza vs burgers, drum loops, and liking music that might get you into trouble with your parents.
