In Episode 26, I speak with the husband-wife duo, Daniel and Lauren Goans, founders of the Charlottesville, VA-based Lowland Hum. Lauren, Daniel, and I speak both seriously and comically about life and the music that shaped us as people. Daniel and Lauren talk all things Lowland Hum.
In Episode 26, I sit down with Lauren and Daniel Goans of Lowland Hum. Both members of the husband and wife duo split singing and songwriting duty for the band. During the pandemic, they brought a child into the world and have already had to learn how to navigate writing, recording, and producing with a newborn in tow. Their little guy also makes a few vocal appearances in the show. We review their process covering Peter Gabriel's SO from top to bottom and what it took to release by the album's 35th birthday. Daniel and Lauren walk us through their early roots in music and examine their "kind of" serious campaign to #supportquietmusic. While Daniel and I traverse our very coincidentally similar youth experiences as tall and lanky fellows in the South. Crystal and I cover Say Anything, James Taylor, Max Headroom vs. Rosey as A.I. frontiers-"people" and more.Please enjoy my honest, open, and quiet… not always quiet… conversation with Lauren and Daniel Goan's, a.k.a Lowland Hum
