Ancient Posse
b'
Hooo boy. It\'s been a few months since one of these has come out, and it\'s probably not hard to guess why, but I still feel a little embarrassed about claiming to have a consistent release schedule back in May and then sitting on a couple of episodes for so long. BUT we are back with an interview that I recorded with Steven Bergeron and Kamillah Jonae, who make up the amazing "cinematic soul pop" group Ancient Posse. This conversation was recorded in mid-June, right smack dab between the murder of George Floyd and my departure for an extended stay in Portland, where I worked on music with some fellow Iowans who have been living there long enough to be Oregonians.

\\nThis episode was deeply cathartic for both myself and my guests because, as you hear us discuss at the beginning, the three of us have all been taking the pandemic very seriously and they have been especially isolated, having just moved from Brooklyn to Marcellus, New York. This was also a special one because Ancient Posse were supposed to be my very first guests on the podcast, back when all I had was a Blue mic and a laptop. Our original interview took place in November of 2017, if I remember correctly, but was never actually recorded because I didn\'t notice the "mute" light on the mic being on. This was embarrassing, but Steven and Kamillah were both very gracious and understanding, and agreed to come back to talk about their full-length album Wuttalyfe, their two new singles, which bookend this episode, what it means to be pop, and much more.
