Spinning Out (another music podcast) We talk to artists about their favorite albums and go on wild tangents.

This week on the pod we're joined by JP Flexner. We're talking about the Angus soundtrack. 

We also chat a lot about the film & all of the bands on the soundtrack. Little departure from the usual format, but it was a fun little detour. 

JP is an artist who has recently done work for the Mountain Goats, Sleater Kinney, Green Day and recently even did the album art for my band, Late Bloomer. He's a great friend who I've known for over ten years and just a delight to chat with. Just to note, this chat goes long, but there's so much to cover with the film, the soundtrack, the bands included & our relationship. 

JP also runs Sparkwell Design Studio with his lovely partner, Nicole Saltzer. They've worked with clients such as Neshaminy Creek, Dottie's Donuts, Althouse Dispensary, Trauger Brewing and Baywater Farms. Between band AND brand design, they've got both covered, so hit them up!!
