We are thrilled to have them back after a five year break. The album is structured as a series of short stories. Each song follows a different character at a breaking point. Moments where something changes permanently, whether they see it coming or not.

IHLO chat to Billy Reeves about the release of their new album “Legacy”. They talk about the unconventional way in which the band was formed, given they are all based so far apart from each other.
They discuss the impact a recent placement on a Spotify playlist and how that will help to raise their profile and introduce them to a potential new audience.
Plus, hear about the coordination that is needed just to get them all in one place and all the factors that might explain why the album took 5 years to make!
In this episode you will also hear from Jonathan Hultén, explaining importance of being relaxed when collating material and how he does that.
Tracklist
Ihlo – Empire
Ihlo – Mute
Jonathan Hultén – Dawn

This month we catch up with Mike Vennart of Oceansize, a timely chat ahead of our reissue of the momentous and cinematic “Frames”, but not just a standard reissue, we have of course given it the Kscope treatment, it is presented on gatefold 3LP and includes extra tracks and rarities plus unseen photos.
Nowadays Mike enjoys success with his latest project Empire State Bastard as well as touring with Biffy Clyro, But host Billy Reeves asks him to go back in time and reflect about his time with the hugely influential Oceansize and even wonders what it would take to get them back on the road.
PLUS the latest single from O.R.k and a reminder that The Pineapple Thief are hard touring in the USA so we thought their topically named single Election Day deserved a spin!
