The GribCast

Over the years there have been many musicians and bands that have given The Gribshnobler permission to play them on the show, but several of them have yet to be featured. Well, today that has changed, as those bands/musicians are the main focus of this episode. After sharing this eclectic batch of music, The Gribshnobler is joined by Brian John Mitchell of Silber Records, who came to chat about the recent Droneuary and April Fields collections, which includes two lengthy tracks with The Gribshnobler himself. Genres featured in this episode: Indie Rock, Shoegaze, Post-Punk, Math Rock, Ambient, Dark Ambient, Post-Rock, Experimental, Field Recordings, Metal, Drone, Psychedelic Jam, Cowpunk, and even Country and Rap. Musical projects in this episode include: The Veldt, Monachopsis, M is We, Night Battles, VOLK, Paris Monster, Tim Holehouse, Jitters, Grant Nesmith, Philip James Fox / King Cloud, Jahman Brahman, Psychedelic Butt Stuff, Emotion in General, Steve Strong, Body 13, Xiu Xiu, Small Life Form, Waft, WVRM, Chooka Frood, Fraticornicos, Shifter Drifter, Tristan Welch, Space Sweeper, Field in Stream, and Milkman
