Ep 62: The EDM Cinderella - How The Glitch Mob Exploded
The Tim Ferriss Show
A Sketch Versus Finished?
The band is currently in the studio working on their new album. The first song, "Our demons and thiss," was written over two years of 300 amprovisions. A sketch versus finished product would be a perfect opportunity to illustrate the difference between em. We might have to get as a podcast bonus.
Justin Boreta is a founding member of The Glitch Mob. Their music has been featured in movies like Sin City II, Edge of Tomorrow, Captain America, and Spiderman. In this episode, we discuss The Glitch Mob's path from unknown band to playing sold-out 90,000-person (!) arenas. We delve into war stories, and Justin plays us never-before-heard "drafts" of blockbuster tracks to show creative process. Even if you have zero interest in music, Justin discusses habits and strategies that can be applied to nearly anything. Meditation? Morning routines? We cover it all. The Glitch Mob's last album, Love Death Immortality, debuted on the Billboard charts at #1 Electronic Album, #1 Indie Label, and #4 Overall Digital Album. This is particularly impressive because The Glitch Mob is an artist-owned group. It's a true start-up. This podcast is brought to you by Mizzen + Main.
