Excellent show, gotta check out Song Exploder 

What's the last track played in the show? :)

House of Cards title theme discussion was great.

A song is a product of design. It's difficult to create an original melody, but that's only the blueprint. Every element of a piece of music could be produced any number of ways,  depending on which instrument plays at what time, for how long,  and with what what kind of effect. The architecture behind a piece of music can be much more involved than meets the ear, and this is what inspired Hrishikesh Hirway  to start a podcast called Song Exploder, where musicians "take apart their songs, and piece by piece, tell the story of how they were made."

Dessa just released a brand new single called "Quinine"!!! The track was produced by Paper Tiger with co-production by Lazerbeak and additional production from Dessa herself (shout out to that sweet marimba). A true family affair and ultimate collabo heat knocker in every sense. This is the first new bit of recorded music that Dessa has released since 2013's Parts of Speech album and hints at way more to come.
