024 – Any Other City / Doomtree Records - Two very different indie labels compare notes

November 18, 2015

It’s been a while since the last podcast but we’re back and hope you’ll agree it’s been worth the wait. The initial plan for episode 24 was for our editor-in-chief Phil Udell to sit down with the people behind what would appear to be two very different independent record labels – James Byrne of Dublin based Any Other City and Dessa, part of the Doomtree collective from Minneapolis. The former have a catalogue that includes the likes of Girl Band, Jet Setter, Squarehead and James Vincent McMorrow, while the latter came about to release the hip-hop crew’s own material. If we thought they wouldn’t have much in common, we were wrong and the wide-ranging conversation that followed proved not only to be genuinely fascinating but also a must listen for any musician with an interest in life beyond the rehearsal room.
