Episode 221: Harry The Nightgown

For Episode 221 of Look At My Records!, Harry the Nightgown returns for their second appearance on the podcast. Since the release of their excellent, analog-centric self-titled debut in 2020, the songwriting duo of Spencer Hartling and Sami Perez have leaned further into the electronic elements of their sound, which blossomed on their 2021 singles “The Painter” and “If You Were Wrong.” Last month, the duo released the follow-up to their first full-length, an EP titled Airy the Light Cloud, which sees them further exploring more digital proclivities while still staying true to the pop sensibilities they developed in the analog recording realm. During the interview, Spencer and Sami share a song-by-song breakdown of the EP, including their thought process behind certain unique sonic choices on tracks like “Swing Song.” Plus, they chatted about current happening at their LA-based studio Wiggle World, their experiences touring in 2022,  and much more. The two also picked some awesome records, including classics from Wire, Stereolab, and New Order. You can follow along with their picks via the official playlist for Episode 221.  You can purchase Airy The Light Cloud via Bandcamp. The EP is also available on all streaming services. Keep up with the band by following them on Instagram. Don’t miss Harry The Nightgown’s next show at Gold Diggers in Los Angeles on January 19th! They’ll be joined by Mary Sea and Laena.
