14 - Hello Goodbye - Reuben & Tom: Track-by-Track, Clusters & Vinyl Logic
Manage episode 483358240 series 3569225
In this special three-way session, Mark sits down with Reuben and Tom—two of the driving forces behind DJA’s latest album release—for an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the making of the record. From selecting tracks to shaping mixes and even puzzling over vinyl track orders, the trio unpack the creative decisions that brought the album to life.
Starting with the ambitious opener Hello and Goodbye, the conversation dives into how the track challenged the band musically, split early opinion, and ultimately won them over. The episode shines a light on the duo’s painstaking approach to phrasing, harmony, and production, and how a spontaneous listening session (possibly involving beer) sparked inspiration.
Expect a thoughtful blend of banter, detail, and deep respect for the craft as the team reflect on everything from unison nightmares to bookending the album with meaning.
