Welcome to Crimble escape pod EP 91.

Happy to share this chat with Jonathan Rado !

You may know him from his band Foxygen or perhaps his productions with

The Killers, The Lemon Twigs, Tim Heidecker, Whitney, Alex Cameron, Father John Misty or perhaps Weyes Blood?

I had a blast meeting him in the covid lull a while back where we had a rare face to face chinwag.

We talk about his work with the killers, his come up and his early sonic adventures. How Richard Swift was a hugely pivotal force, both as a musical inspiration and then as a teacher. We get into his working alongside the magical Shawn Everett on many projects and the secret of his success in terms of the mystical “Rado effect”!
