About this episode
Cody Clark and Kristian Goze discuss their band Shimbashi Station's origins, creative approach, and debut LP.
Shimbashi Station distinguish themselves within the crowded Vancouver indie rock scene with a commitment to straightforward melodicism, deceptive instrumental complexity, and musical and visual influences inspired by Japanese culture. Cody Clark (vocals/guitar) and Kristian Goze (drums/vocals) join us to talk the public transit related origins of the band, their creative approach to promoting their music, their debut LP Takeoff! and more. Once More With Feeling is a new series made by James Olson, producer Felix Fung of Little Red Sounds, and a talented videography team.
