About this episode
The episode features a conversation with Mike Almquist about the impact and philosophy of the band mewithoutYou.
This week on Absent Sounds , we share a conversation with Mike Almquist: longtime manager, creative partner, and quiet architect behind the world of mewithoutYou. If you've ever let us play you music, you know we have mewithoutYou on almost every playlist. Saying "goodbye" (in the fullness of whatever the word really means) is nearly impossible. In this episode, we talk about how the band became a philosophy, and how something can end… without ever really ending. From early days of discovering A→B Life to [Untitled] , Mike walks us through the life of mewithoutYou. At its core, this episode means a lot to us, and is one that we've held for a long time. We're so grateful he joined us, and that you care enough to keep listening. The transcript for the episode can be found here . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
