This radio show was originally broadcast live from our Joshua Tree trailer on January 10, 2024, only at bedcrumbshow.com

While this live broadcast was originally selected & sequenced spontaneously, it retrospectively appeared to move through some interesting movements. The introductory set of ambient pop & minimalist folk is followed by a long stretch of Japanese psychedelia from four different decades. During the second hour we venture through jazz fission, abstract rap, and microtonal psych before closing the show with a trio of ethereal folk meditations from Greece & Ireland.
