Ep 76 - Goldbug and his debut LP Swings & Roundabouts

I think it's absolutely brilliant.

And I know I'm not alone because I've been looking up some reviews this morning, Danilo, and they are uniformly, well, four or five star.

You know, you have to get this album.

You have to listen to this.

So, yeah, how does it feel for the album to be out?

Yeah, thanks.

It feels great.

I guess I do feel light as a feather now that it's out, you know.

It's been a lot of work and it's been a while to kind of, it's been a long time coming, I guess.

Now that it's out, I guess I feel really happy it's out in the world.

And yeah, it's a weight lifted off my shoulder and it's exciting now to also get people to listen to the full thing.

Yeah, when you say a weight off your shoulder, do you mean you feel like you had something inside you and that's now out in the world?

Yeah, you know, I made the record over a span of a few years.

It really took it out of me.

I finished the record maybe actually about two, three years ago.

And actually, when I finished it, I had to just let it sit.

I guess I couldn't really think about it in a way.

It kind of took a lot out of me that I had to come back around to... to then want to release it.

So it's kind of, you know, it almost feels like it's been like a heavy backpack on my back.

Now that it's out, I've kind of finished my big walk with the heavy backpack and, you know, I can set it down.

And yeah, I guess I kind of have that feeling just because I've sat on it for a while.

Okay.

And this is a, I feel it's a very summery album.

It's not about summer, but it has a, you know, the vibe of the album is about summer.

And certainly some of the videos, I think I should mention actually the video for Aqueduct, the opening track we played there is absolutely brilliant, well worth watching.
