About this episode
Frontman Joe Laycock discusses Conscious Pilot's debut album, Human Poultry, and their commitment to traditional recording methods in a digital age.
In this world of short form TikTok content and AI-generated videos, Glaswegian band Conscious Pilot are a straight-up post-punk/indie rock act committed to recording songs to tape and shooting music videos on 16mm cameras. Frontman Joe Laycock talks about the band’s debut album, Human Poultry, a collection of songs about the grim world of employment, warehouse jobs, and fictional, chaotic film directors.
