thisquietarmy - Erosion
“Every city has its own obscure drone nerd, and Montreal's also happens to be a respected legend. On Erosion, his latest release, thisquietarmy's apocalyptic concept, meditative atmosphere and cinematic soundscapes are more closely aligned than ever. Following his impressive discography is a rewarding journey for anyone who dares to visit the shores of marginal art before they become inaccessible.”
- Louise Jaunet
In this episode of Undercurrents: An Artist's Artist Conversation, Simone Atenea Medina Polo is joined by the one and only Shad to discuss the release of Start Anew. Shad is a Juno Award-winning rapper from London, Ontario and the host of Netflix’s Hip-Hop Evolution. His albums have been recognized for their sharp lyrics and soulful arrangements.
This season finale brings together the theme of the podcast since Shad offers a thoughtful and informed outlook on the communal evolution and history of hip hop. The conversation proceeds by breaking down the themes of Start Anew which converges into a chat about Shad’s then-upcoming lectures on the history of hip hop at his alma mater (Wilfrid Laurier University).
