Today's show comes with a word of warning. Sure, I'll be catching up with my old friends from Norway's stellar progressive jazz metal outfit, YAWN but we'll also be discussing immensely technical music terminology pretty much the entire time.

In other words, if you like to hear about guitar reamping and production techniques, today's show was made for you. Especially when you toss in the inevitable weird reference that this interviewer is known for. Fortunately, for all involved, it was old hat. For you, the listener, I apologize on behalf of everyone.

This is our weirdly offbeat conversation about the creation of the stunning new album, Materialism, and another funny talk with one of the most unique bands in the world. This is YAWN, on Rockstar Superhero.
