#267 - Connor Gilroy (The Crow from "Transatlanticism")

About this episode

Connor Gilroy shares the story behind his viral crow costume inspired by Death Cab for Cutie's album 'Transatlanticism' and discusses his own music.

Connor Gilroy dressed up as the crow from Death Cab for Cutie's "Transatlanticism" album and posted it on Twitter. Hours later he went viral. I found it the next day thanks to my wife and posted it on Instagram. We connected after someone tagged him on the post and couldn't wait to hear the story behind this amazing costume and his own music.
