Hello Chicago! From W be easy Chicago and PRX, this is Sound Opinions. I'm Greg Kott.

And I'm Jim Deregatus. The Shuegase Movement emerged in the late 80s with punishing volume but dreamy melodies. Today we're going to dissect that psychedelic wall of sound. Also we're going to review

the latest album from DC post-punk band Priests and hear what song got David Bazan

hooked on Sonics.

That's all coming up on sound opinions.

You're listening to sound opinions. I'm Greg Cott here with my partner Jim Deereregadas and later in the show we're going to break down shoegase, a genre that could make your ears bleed, but also put a smile on your face. certainly does on ours yeah but first we've got

you music from priests I know this world this world is made and it's lucky I'm the chosen one

I worked on a shelf back word

this secret on my face but now the work of me on the barrel

I'm smoking good. That is Jesus' Son, a new song from Priests, a Washington, D.C. band, the new album is The Seduction of Kansas, their second album.

Their debut came out in 2017, nothing feels natural. We reviewed it here on the show, Jim,

and we both loved it. I think it was one of the

most fully realized debut albums we'd both heard in quite a while and there was a

reason for that this band has been gigging around the Washington, D.C. area and the region since 2012, releasing independent recordings on their own sister polygon records label a true

DIY band not only a key players in that scene but helping other bands release music

as well.

So when they came out with that 2017 debut,

they sounded like a fully formed band.

They've had a point of view.

They had a sound.

They got well reviewed.

They started playing some festival shows. Now we have album number two the seduction of Kansas
