Episode 30: Forty Feet Tall

The Portland, post-punk four piece join me to talk tours, live shows, recording and latest single "Isochronism".

Portland, Oregon's Forty Feet Tall play rock n' roll... or is post-punk... or is it psych rock? Well, it's something of all these styles and probably more.

The four piece have been honing their sound for over a decade. With the current line-up of Cole Gann (vocals/guitar), Jack Sehres (guitar), Brett Marquette (bass/backup vocals) and Ian Kelley (drums) firmly cemented, the band's latest single "Isochronism" is hot off the presses and featuring a delightfully trippy video (directed by the band's very own Brett Marquette).

I catch up with the whole band to talk about the latest single, the making of and inspiration behind the video, history, lives shows, the wooing of drummer Ian Kelley and plenty more.

Having the guys all together on one call really gives a sense of the fun and camaraderie of the band. Check it out for yourself right here.

Whatever Comes Next with Tom Osman
On Whatever Comes Next I explore the world of independent and underground music making. I talk with music makers, producers and label owners to hear their stories. I like music with a sense of mystery. I like surprises and unique stories... and noise... and weirdness... and darkness... and I want to learn more.
