Earshifter

Rene and Sean

So much great music gets lost in the cracks. Join us at Earshifter where we feature artists (old and new) often overlooked by the masses and radio. We’ll talk about what makes the band great and different, their background and their bestest-est songs. 


Earshifter is ultimately about two things: music discovery OR if you love the feature artist in an episode, going deep on that band you love.

    Neutral Milk Hotel

    Neutral Milk Hotel – the enigmatic indie legends who deserve more recognition. Join Sean and Rene as they explore Jeff Mangum’s surreal world – from unique soundscapes to abstract lyrics. See why Rene might prefer "On Avery Island" over the iconic "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," and learn about the mysterious origins of their name and Jeff’s sudden disappearance. This episode unravels the brief yet impactful story of a band that walked away at their peak, with a peek into the Elephant 6 collective behind the scenes. Tune in for lo-fi sounds, Bulgarian folk, and a mythic band that left a lasting mark. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5zw3xugXP45LJlBINsjFCX?si=32b99fe154ad4e22 https://music.apple.com/ca/playlist/neutral-milk-hotel-besties/pl.u-zPyLmD5CZZARGk Send us Fan Mail Thanks for listening.
