Podcast appearances and mentions of Murray A Lightburn

Iain and Andrew reconvene for more reviews and rambles of a musical persuasion. On this week's @weheardwonders, you will hear something graceful and tasteful and made with obvious affection from Murray A. Lightburn; Altin Gün are up to their old Anatolian-psych-rock antics; Eddie Chacon's career resurgence continues apace; progressive-dance producer James Holden finds the cosmic in the communal; and “Goddess of the Harvest” Anona delivers gentle jazz-folk. Go-to motivational tunes are shared, transporting new genres are invented, and something grandiose and miserablist has the Vinyl Word.

Murray A. Lightburn discusses his emotional new album, Once Upon a Time in Montreal, how its narrative is inspired by the romance between his mother and late father, a man he never really got to know, parenting during a pandemic, communicating via music, pride and distance, big love, jazz and punk, future plans, and much more.

Murray Lightburn is best known as the singer and leader of longtime Montreal rock stalwarts The Dears, and is also a solo performer, producer and composer. He joins me to talk about his favourite music (Motown, jazz, classical, and an unexpected major influence), balancing his love of music and his frustrations with the music business, as well as The Smiths, one of my least understood bands and (according to Murray) one of his most misunderstood influences. Check out Murray's Spotify playlist of the music discussed on this episode, plus a few extra faves.   Photo of Murray by Howard Bilerman
