The Montreal podcast that asks Sean Arsenian and April Furlotte (aka Sweetheart Grip): If you could be reincarnated as a vegetable, which one, and why?[spacer height=”20px”]
You might know Sean from the seminal, very heavy Montreal band “The Great Sabatini” (and if you don’t well you should get to know them and also listen to our podcast with them here). But maybe you don’t know that he has a softer (but still spooky and haunting) musical side as well. Sean explores that part of music making with his life partner April Furlotte in their very cool new project “Sweetheart Grip.”[spacer height=”20px”]
From recording songs in their bathroom, to figuring out video editing, Sweetheart Grip brings a lifetime of DIY can-do together to bring together haunting melodies and dark, beautiful song writing.[spacer height=”20px”]
We also talk about BB guns so there’s that going on in this episode too. Check out Sweetheart Grip’s video for Seance 3 here and check out their EP “Ptroubadour” on Bandcamp.[spacer height=”20px”]
The Great Sabatini may or may refer to a sex act, but that doesn’t matter. One of Montreal’s heaviest bands for the last 11 years, the boys of The Great Sabatini have just released their latest full length album “Goodbye Audio” and it’s full of the unpredictable and technical heaviness that they’ve become so well known for.
Once we get going, boy do we get going. You owe it to yourself to listen to the end to hear one of the craziest stories we’ve ever heard from a fateful night in Thunder Bay. Not for the feint of heart. Maybe don’t listen to it around kids.
“Goodbye Audio” is available now. Available digitally all over the place or on their Bandcamp (and check out the merch section to by a physical copy of it).
