Fear, Loss and Sticking the Landing; Marconi Union: The Echoes Interview
Marconi Union talk about their CD of the Month, The Fear of Never Landing. The British electronic band has been providing ambient atmospheres and deep groove on the show for 20 years and they are still creating with their latest album, The Fear of Never Landing, Echoes June CD of the Month. After losing a founding member, Jami Crossley and Duncan Meadows have continued on with a new, refreshed sound for this ensemble. It’s not music for Tik Tok.
Jamie Crossley: It’s not youth music is, it’s not for teenagers probably. That’s not to say that teenagers shouldn’t listen to it, but it’s probably more on the kind of demographic of where we are, where we are at ourselves.
John Diliberto is no kid. He talks to Jamie Crossley and Duncan Meadows about Marconi Union mark 3.0 on Echoes from PRX.
