#313 - Three for Thursday | Tales from the Concert: KG&LW + NSO

Greg kicks things off with a Three for Thursday! Alex G is an indie artist that just released his tenth studio album Headlights. Greg thinks his unique voice and sound would be difficult to reproduce. We hear the great Lee Morgan solo on the title track of his 1979 album Sonic Boom. Finally, winner of this year’s “How Have I Not Already Listened to This Album?” award, it’s Evening Star by Robert Fripp & Brian Eno.

Songs:

• Alex G - “Afterlife”

• Lee Morgan - “Sonic Boom”

• Robert Fripp, Brian Eno - “Evening Star”

Jay & Nick provide a joint Tales from the Concert. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is doing a 7-show tour with a live orchestra for their 27th studio album, Phantom Island. They performed alongside the National Symphony Orchestra on Monday, Aug 4 at Merriweather Post Pavilion. Jay & Nick were present, and quite impressed, to say the least.

Songs:

• Animal Collective - “My Girls”

• King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - “The River (Live with The Orchestra at St. Luke’s)”

• King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - “Crumbling Castle (Live with The Orchestra at St. Luke’s)”
