AWOLNATION - Angel Miners & The Lightning Riders (2020)

On this episode, Shane selects Awolnation's 2020 release Angel Miners and the Lightning Riders. At first, Trevor wasn't sure it was his style, but before he knew it, he couldn't help singing along to these 10 incredibly catchy tunes created by lead singer and songwriter Aaron Bruno. In addition to being fun genre bending, dance inducing, electro-pop music, Aaron Bruno has constructed a cathartic recount of his experience of the 2018 Malibu wildfires which destroyed his recording studio. Dancing just below the surface of these personal stories of loss, confusion, and rediscovery are the forces of good (Lightning Riders) and evil (Angel Miners) that are influencing both what happens to Aaron and how he responds. Shane and Trevor agreed that this is an album you could put on in the background, forget about these deeper stories, and simply enjoy the music. Or you can delve into the underlying significance of the lyrics and discuss how these forces play out in our own lives. Whichever way you choose to experience this album, it's a memorable and fun ride.
