OBJECTS: Two-Man Giant Squid

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.

Get to know Lo

On her debut EP Over the Forest, artist and composer Loïs de Vries, known as Lo, explores the idea of “mystical pop” — a genre she describes as emotional, atmospheric, and rooted in experimentation. Across the release, Lo crafts a sonic world that is both soothing and strange, using sparse instrumentation and layered vocal harmonies to evoke introspection and possibility. In our interview, she discusses the healing nature of music, the influence of her musical family, and overcoming self-doubt in the creative process. Read our conversation.
