Friday, 27 March, 2026
Episode 99 is here… and this one means everything. After 99 episodes, the new home studio is finally dialed in—and it feels like the perfect moment to sit back, relax, and talk about one of the most important albums of my life. Today, we’re diving into Explosions in the Sky – The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place. If you’ve ever been unsure about instrumental music… if you’ve ever thought, “I need vocals to connect”… I get it. But if you’re going to give one album a chance to change your mind, let it be this one. This record isn’t just music—it’s emotion. It’s memory. It’s life unfolding in sound. In this episode, I talk about: Why this album is in my all-time top 10 The beauty of instrumental storytelling and post-rock How certain songs can hit you so hard… you can’t help but feel everything A personal story about music, nostalgia, and choosing positivity over criticism And why “music lover, not critic” is the energy I want to bring into everything I create There’s something about this album that reminds you…the world isn’t cold and dead—it’s alive, emotional, and worth feeling deeply.
