Summary

In Our Headphones will be back next week with song recommendations from Atticus.

But this week, we'd like to share another KEXP podcast: A Deeper Listen. It’s hosted by Emily Fox and every week it features a conversation with an artist bringing you deeper into their music. After hearing about their inspirations and the experiences that inform their work, you’ll find yourself hearing their music in a whole new way.

On this episode, Emily talks with Alynda Segarra of Hurray for the Riff Raff about their recent album, 'The Past Is Still Alive.' They share some of the stories that informed the album, like hitchhiking and train hopping around the country. They also talk about their experience helping those struggling with addiction, and how grief is an act of love.

0:00.0	Hey, it's Isabel, and this week on In Our Headphones, we are sharing another K-E-X-P
0:08.8	podcast called A Deeper Listen. It's hosted by Emily Fox and every Tuesday it features a
0:14.4	conversation with an artist bringing you deeper into their music. After
0:18.7	hearing about their inspirations and the experiences that inform their work, you'll find yourself hearing whole new
0:24.2	dimensions in their music. It's a great series to add to your feed, so I encourage you to
0:29.3	subscribe to a deeper listen for a new episode each week.
0:33.3	But for now, you can listen right here.

0:56.6	A lot on this record is about how grief is not a punishment. It's an act of love, and it's just another expression of love.
1:05.4	Shortly after Hurray for the Rifraff's latest album was written,

1:17.2	the country.
1:18.2	That happened after Segara left New York where they grew up and before they put down routes in New Orleans. The album's melodies are catchy and the lyrics are
1:26.8	so beautifully crafted. They drew me in and made time stop for a moment.
1:33.0	Here's my conversation with a Linda Segera of Hooray for the Riff Raff about their album,
1:38.0	The Past is still alive. You know that time can take you for a ride can take you by surprise. Maybe you're
1:46.3	old snake eyes. Baby tell me why. You gotta play your look to races call your bluff I love you very much and all that
1:56.9	other stuff
