TPOE 262: Stephen Shannon
from The Point of Everything Hosted by The Point Of Everything
Stephen Shannon is gearing up to release his first album under his own name. It's called Fathoms and is out Friday, May 19, on 251 Records. But it's far from Shannon's debut release - he's made many albums over the year under guises such as Halfset, Strands, and Mount Alaska. And that's all on top of his work as a sound artist, composing scores for TV and film. We talk about all of that and his upcoming show at the National Concert Hall as part of the Metronome series to launch Fathoms. That gig is also on this Friday, May 19.

You'll hear a couple tracks from the album during the interview, including the opener Past Tense and singles Evergreen and Eyot, which closes out the show. For more: https://251records.lnk.to/ssEyot
