Grüvis Malt, "Maximum Unicorn", Part 2: Listening discussion with Gavin Castleton and Brendan Bell of Grüvis Malt

Jump in your blood-red Blade Razoredster, activate the SECRET TIRES, and throw on your patent leather sweater vest because we got an episode that is packed with monster dance party-worthy jams! You won’t need Ritalin-kid-like focus this week as we bring you the second half of our conversation with Gavin and Brendan of Grüvis Malt – this time listening to and discussing their final album “Maximum Unicorn,” released in 2005. The guys share background on the making of the album and talk about some of its musical and non-musical (Muppets, being chased by bees) influences. Plus, Brandon finally confirms his long-held suspicion about the origin of one is his favorite lyrics on the album, as he had sworn he'd do several times during lunch period.

This conservation was so much fun and quite educational. Thanks to Gavin and Brendan for being such good sports. Now get out your Maximum Unicorn storybook reference guide, flip over that cassette and enjoy! And if you haven’t yet, check out Part 1 of this interview, and our episode on their album “...With the Spirit of a Traffic Jam.”
