Jan 23, 2023

Any day that includes one of John Cale and Brian Eno’s classic collabs is certain to be a good one. Cale, the viola-virtuoso and founding member of The Velvet Underground is stopping by Press Play and we’re here with the sonic clues as to why this is awesome.

Elsewhere, our musical journey is taking us all over the map from the Elliott Smith mural that lives forever in our hearts to a brand new Låpsley cut that is giving us life.
