There was an eight year gap between Nottingham, UK band The Soundcarriers’ 2014 album Entropicalia and 2022’s Wilds, but thankfully the retro-pop combo have returned after a much shorter wait with Through Other Reflections, a spellbinding collection of beatific harmonies, motorik pulses, reverberating flutes, and fuzz guitars, all eased along by the haunting vocals of members Leonore Wheatley and Dorian Conway. Multi-instrumentalist Paul Isherwood joins us today to discuss the new album, creating music for the sorely missed television program Lodge 49, and the enduring influence of Scott Walker.

The Soundcarriers :: Wilds
A welcome return to ring in the new year, Nottingham, England quartet The Soundcarriers have emerged from an eight year hiatus following their 2014 long player, Entropicalia. Multi-instrumentalist Paul Isherwood describes Wilds as summing up a number of the band’s eclectic influences, a body of work which can be channeled back to an early infatuation with the soundtrack to John Barry’s Midnight Cowboy (a central signifier of the group’s highly cinematic feel).
