Song of the Day: May 08 2016 - "King of the Deep" from Our Debut Album
You may know Dave Shumka and Graham Clark from their hit podcast Stop Podcasting Yourself, from the comedy scene, or maybe even from their work at CBC Music. But what you may not know is both have been musicians, and they have merged their love of music, podcasts, and comedy (in that order) for a new show called Our Debut Album.
Each episode in the monthly podcast follows the duo as they try to write a hit song in under an hour, until they have an album full of smash hits. And when I said "in that order" above, I meant that the Clark & Shumka are taking it seriously. No comedy songs; "Ween, or more serious" was their metric.
The first episode came out this week where they write a 50's American Beach Rock jam called "King of the Deep", which they went on to record with Jay Arner.
You can listen to how they created the magic here... or by subscribing wherever podcasts are available.
And then head on over to their bandcamp to buy/listen to "King of the Deep"!
