Shaking Out The Numb

4.9/5

Critic Rating

We wanted to tell you more about FREE LOVE, so we enlisted our favorite creator of radio, Rumble Strip, to talk to us about what we made. Together we ended up creating a series of stories/arguments/walks in the woods/celebrations and auditory peeks into the world we were trying to touch in FREE LOVE. Some episodes are about individual songs - some of them are about being a musician- and some are about just being. Thank you so much to Tiny Desk and NPR Music for premiering one of the episodes first. You can listen to that and to all the episodes on our YouTube channel here: https://found.ee/SE_SOTNPodcastYT We are so grateful to our amazing team for making this happen, and to Erica for being so caring, insightful, and just really great at asking questions and being honest. We love you.

There’s nothing quite like it, and it’s just one of the many things that etch Shaking Out the Numb into your brain. …"
