From Spotify Studios, this is Dissect, long-form musical analysis broken into short

digestible episodes. I'm your host Cole Kishna. Krishna. Hey everyone, as you know, Tyler the Creator released his new project Igor last week,

and I thought it'd be appropriate to give some opening remarks on the album.

And while I'll likely publish a traditional dissection of Igor as an epilogue to our flower boy season,

today I'll be talking with two guests about the project.

On the second half of this episode, I'll be speaking to Chris Lambert, co-host of the podcast watching The Throne.

Together we'll walk through the narrative of Igor song by song to get a sense of the

overall story being told on the album. But before we do that, I'll be speaking to my first guest, the

internet's busiest music nerd, Mr. Anthony Fantano. Anthony built a reputation for music criticism

through his album reviews on his now massive YouTube channel The Needle Drop. music criticism

and I thought he since become one of the most respected voices in music criticism

and I thought he'd be the perfect person to discuss Tyler's new project with.

Together Anthony and I talk discuss Tyler's new project with. Together, Anthony and I talk about Tyler's legacy, where Igor fits into that legacy,

and some overall impressions of the album's sounds, themes and influences.

And so without further ado, please welcome my first guest, Anthony Fantano.
