In the final installment of this unprecedented 5 1/2 hour interview with 3/4 of the original brother-sister quartet, Discograffiti explores the history and output of the band with fawning adoration.
Here’s just a few of the things we discuss in this podcast:
- Why the band began disintegrating, and the reasons behind Bruce’s departure;
- The hard left into the weird world of The Starscape Singers, the Canadian chorale into which most of The Free Design were absorbed after the band split;
- And a deep-dive exploration of Stars/Time/Bubbles/Love, Free Design Sings For Very Important People, One By One, There Is A Song, and Peekaboo!
If you’re a Free Design superfan like me, you’ll want the DIRECTOR’S CUT of this & the rest of the installments of Discograffiti’s Free Design Series—this episode alone features no ads and AN ADDITIONAL 30 MINUTES of essential material that we had to cut for time.
