The Lolly Bombs on Joseph Arthur & his Technicolor Dreamcast - 19 May 2024

GUEST OVERVIEW: Michael Ivins and Jules Kean began playing music together soon after they fell in love in 2021. They wrote a song about how they met and Jules wanted to turn it into a 45 they could spin on their record player. Michael had bigger ideas. With Michael’s background of playing with the Flaming Lips for 38 years and assistant engineering to Dave Fridmann, he began to share with Jules what he had learned about music in this lifetime. In 2021, Ivins and Kean began recording in the 2nd bedroom of their small condo in Santa Monica, CA (including blanketed closets and bathrooms for DIY vocal booths). To create a fuller sound, they each played multiple instruments and added fun effects and distortion with the help of Pro Tools and Ivins’s expertise.
