It’s been a couple of months since the dance punk band Two-Man Giant Squid released their self-titled album. In our first episode of OBJECTS, we hear from frontman Mitch Vinokur about the process of putting together the 7-track album. As the band self-mixed/produced half of the album–Teddy O’Mara did the other half–Vinokur chose envelopes, photographs, and the back of random documents to jot down notes on the sonic elements of the record.
“I spent a lot of days here around this really cluttered mess of a way that I write notes,” Vinokur says. Watch as he shares OBJECTS from the band’s production and mixing sessions.

Spirit Hotel's debut Rêve is an examination of the mind. It’s vivid, disorienting, and hard to shake. Fronted by Leila May Hauck, the record moves between haunting and harmonious, mirroring Hauck's own fascination with dreams, memory, and the unreliable narrator within all of us. We sat down with Leila to talk about turning visions into songs, the eerie pull of the Farfisa organ, daily creative rituals, and what it means to make music from a place you're not sure you can fully trust.
