Secretly Society

Join Tom Davies and Manish Agarwal in an artist interview with Kid Millions and Bobby Matador from the band that stands to be a beacon of Jagjaguwar's history - Oneida. Turn the clocks back to 1999 to listen through the vast and (generally) celebrated discography, featuring clips from albums Enemy Hogs, Come on Everybody Lets Rock, Anthem of the Moon, Each One Teach One, Secret Wars, The Wedding, Happy New Year, Rated O, Romance, and most recently Success. Get immersed in a band that reconsidered sonic space on a gong tour, wrote a song featured on The Onion as a part of a homework assignment, and created the largest music box in the East Coast (or did they?). In short - never turn away from any idea stupid or clever, or for that matter a gong sample!

This series is narrated by author, a friend of the band, and executive producer of the DeYarmond Edison official boxset 'Epoch', Grayson Haver Currin. This episode starts us off with DeYarmond Edison fresh off the heels of their Bickett Residency, and going back to Wisconsin for the first time since their move for a hometown show at the historic Mabel Tainter theater. In the undercurrents of the excitement, those close to the band could feel an underlying shift with the members, feeling like there were four guys, coming up with four different sounds. Stay tuned to hear about the beginning of DeYarmond's eventual downfall, and a peek at Justin Vernon's work on his fifth solo album at the time - hazeltons. The previously undisclosed story of the band that branched off into indie music legends, Megafaun and Bon Iver!

Secretly Society presents a four-episode mini-series about friendship, music, and a story that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming alike - DeYarmond Edison. This series is narrated by the author, a friend of the band, and executive producer of the DeYarmond Edison official boxset 'Epoch', Grayson Haver Currin. This episode starts us off with DeYarmond Edison's move to Raleigh, North Carolina, a town with a buzzing music scene including the likes of The Rosebuds, Bowerbirds, and Ticonderoga. Hear the stories of the beginning of The Bickett Gallery Residency that at points was described as a "spiraling through concentric circles of disorder pushing the standard until it indeed almost broke". Joe brought in themes of improvisation learned at Bennington College, Phil taught the band Delta Blues and strings, Brad played with the idea of 20th-century ambient sounds in the style of Steve Reich's composition, and Justin challenged everyone's vocal capacity - including his own. The previously undisclosed story of the band that branched off into indie music legends, Megafaun and Bon Iver!

Join hosts Tom Davies and Chris Catchpole in an artist interview that unveils the celebrated catalog of Dead Ocean's own Kevin Morby. Find yourself smack dab in New York's DIY indie scene, where Kevin gained his bearings playing as a live musician with the band Woods, to becoming the solo act that has been lovingly compared to Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Patti Smith. Kevin opens up about his experience with The Babies' Our House on the Hill,  as well as his own solo records Harlem River, Singing Saw, City Music, Oh My God, Sundowner, and his latest work This Is A Photograph. Hear stories about forming a band whose devil-may-care goal was to play New York house parties, how meeting the production legend Richard Swift at a restaurant in LA led to working together, and how Rick Rubin's podcast helped form the idea of writing from the perspective of  Mabel - a recluse from New York.
