World Cafe host Stephen Kallao discovered the music of Atmosphere more than 20 years ago, as he entered his 20s. With unusual samples, rich sonic textures and confessional, introspective lyrics, the duo's music was a revelation.
Today, Anthony Davis and Sean Daley, better known as Ant and Slug, join us to talk about their latest album, Jestures. It's a sprawling concept album with 26 tracks — one for every letter of the alphabet, in order.
Ant and Slug also talk about celebrating 30 years of making music together, and they reflect on how they've grown as performers and people over the past three decades.
