No Effects With Jesse Cohen

I'm back with a new episode! On this episode, you'll find my highly enjoyable conversation with Sondre Lerche. Sondre shares his story about starting out writing songs in his hometown of Bergen, Norway, signing to a major label as a teenager, touring around the world, and settling here in New York City.

What a great episode! Maybe I'm just saying that because I had never met Eleanor before doing this interview and was relieved it turned out well, but maybe, and probably, because Eleanor is a really interesting and funny person who is great at using words to describe her experiences. Those experiences include forming and being in The Fiery Furnaces with her brother, and also forming a band for her two solo albums. Enjoy!

On this episode, I'm joined by Ian Williams, who formed the widely acclaimed, widely beloved band @Battles in 2002. Before that, he played in the acclaimed and beloved bands Don Caballero and Storm & Stress (with Eric from Tanlines). He shares his experiences and attitudes about music, New York, and much much more, on this episode of No Effects.

A google image search with Hisham's name is one of the coolest there is. He's an artist slash musician whose career has spanned continents slash forms. We talk about all of it, from playing in Lightning Bolt, Black Dice, and @Softcircle, to his popular instagram feed...on this episode of No Effects.

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of not releasing an album, Queens rapper @Despot sits and talks to me about that and many, many, other interesting things... Enjoy!

On this No Effects, I talk to Anand Wilder, the guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist in the band @Yeasayer. The word "multi-instrumentalist" does NOT appear in this podcast, FYI, but many other words do!

My first episode! On this episode, I'll introduce the whole podcast, why I am doing it, and what I hope to accomplish here. Then, I'm joined by my guest, Cameron Mesirow, the artist and musician known as @Glasser-1.
