S1/EP22: Aiko Masubuchi - N.A.S.S.

A deep dive behind the music and philosophy of the NYC art rock band BODEGA. BODEGA BEN breaks down each track from their new album 'Our Brand Could be Yr Life', exploring the theme of the record: the current state of underground rock music. Together with guests and friends including Bodega Bay members and current collaborators, they dissect the story behind the music.For the final episode of the season, Ben chats w/ Bodega Bay drummer Aiko Masubuchi about ’N.A.S.S.’, the violent song Bodega Bay used to close most of their sets. The duo also discuss Aiko’s unique sticking of the motorik beat, Sonic Youth’s use of prepared guitar, and the impossibility of re-creating the charming naiveté of first recordings. The episode ends with Ben pondering the nostalgia-obsessed state of postmodern pop culture, Charli XCX’s Brat, and the song ‘Realism’.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
