Columbia House Party

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy circle back to another influential album, The Cure’s 1989 masterpiece, Disintegration. Part two, as Robert Smith tells it, of a three-part trilogy that spans 18 years and eight of their 13 records, Disintegration is The Cure at their best, with Smith’s songwriting and vocals at their peak and the ambition of the overall musical environment pushing the album to a new height for the group. Find out more about which of Smith’s anxieties pushed him toward this sound for the album, the carousel of band members over their 40-plus years together, and whether The Wedding Singer holds up on this week’s podcast.

Are you listening? In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy dive into Jimmy Eat World’s fourth album, the crossover success Bleed American. A follow up to Clarity, which is often debated as their best album, Bleed American shifted from an emo-oriented sound toward alt-rock, producing eminently recognizable singles thanks to accessibly simple lyrics and excellent power-pop guitar work. That Jimmy Eat World continued producing good albums – a lot of them – is almost lost in just how influential their earlier work was. Find out more about reception to The Middle, why Sweetness almost didn’t make the album, and how 9/11 comes up once again in this week’s podcast.

After garnering attention from her debut 'Same Trailer Different Park', the small-town-Texan continued her observationalist approach to song writing with Pageant Material. It was certainly a new challenge for both Blake and Jake, as the album leans country and it isn't exactly the 2000s emo we're all used to, but there are a lot of familiar connections to be found when digging around Kacey's upbringing, her mid-teen fashion choices and even her musical inspirations. It's one of our favourite episodes yet, and we hope you enjoy it!

It won’t always be pop-punk and emo. In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy dive into one of the decade’s best pop albums, Robyn’s Body Talk. Long after Robyn first broke through outside of Sweden with Robyn is Here, Body Talk represented her three-part return to the North American charts and consciousness. With two elite singles – both firmly in the top 100 songs of the 2010s – and only one or two small misses, it’s little surprise that Robyn could take eight years before her next release and it still be highly anticipated. Find out more about Robyn’s vision for her most ambitious undertaking, the unlikely features on the album, and Body Talk’s place in the poptimism discussion on this week’s podcast.
