In our last episode, we talked about a brand new song, "What I Lost", from the band's upcoming new album, "Such Ferocious Beauty".
In it, Michael Timmins referenced its thematic links with "Follower 2", a song from "AtThe End Of Paths Taken", so what better time to cover that song than in this episode?
Mike and Alan Anton discuss the thinking behind the song, including the string section that so illuminates the track. We've got a few little heard clips of the recording session to illustrate things too. Dive in, why don't you?
