Randy and Aaron discuss last week's interview with Justin Smith. Mentioned in this episode: Izotope

Rae Chen is a singer, songwriter and guitarist operating under the moniker tofusmell. His debut full length album All My Time is due out April 24th via Hardly Art. Rae tells us how he grew up in Florida on the edges of both a pop punk and worship scene, and why he picked up the guitar and eventually found himself in Winnipeg. We hear how his approach to writing gives a feeling of sonic closeness, how he responded to more production on All My Time and the role ambiance plays on the new record. Joe and Rae discuss how collaboration is important to the visual side of tofusmell, why he looks forward to the “band” version of live performance and we hear the new single (me tomorrow). tofusmell (https://tofusmell.bandcamp.com/album/me-tomorrow) Hardly Art (https://www.hardlyart.com/blogs/news/all-my-time-the-debut-album-from-tofusmell-out-april-24th) Our newest sponsor Kingston Union (https://kingstonunionmfg.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqDhA2vVQS1q8dL1lPWUnX45aYubq9dXXJoPmb9I6qBzhs9nR21) is YOUR store for the legendary Winos.
