What does one do with unrequited love? Get angry, get even, or get depressed? How about learn from Tyler, the Creator and create!
In this episode, Rob and Joël discuss Tyler, the Creator's 2019 concept album "IGOR."
The conversation explores Tyler's rich palette and manipulation of vocals, samples, synths and beats - a combination which expresses Tyler's compelling intuitive pastiche as a sound poet. They also give special attention to the multi-layered themes of love, heartache, self-identity and the viability of the realiable narrator. All the while setting a compelling tone for expanded conversation on Tyler's use of the "Igor" archetype as the dialogue continues into their unique Aftercast format.
